Adam believes that calm and energy are important elements in life. He brings them both to his photoshoots and his photos. He looks to include both calmness and energy in his work and no extraneous elements that dilute or distract from the people in his photos.

He collaborates with his clients, his crew and his talent with patience, grace and an ability to discover complex solutions when necessary.

He loves working with people and creating a balance between calm and energy in his life and his work.

"The past few months have been almost non-stop shooting for Alex Waber, alternating in studio sessions with on location work, which has given Alex the opportunity to really explore the similarities and differences between both.

The autumnal Poplin and Co. shoot down by a marina was the most straight forward location shoot possible, a small team, a bounce and watching the sun and clouds move through the sky.

'The Garden' editorial was a step up from that, we wanted that beautiful long evening light and colourful sky so we only had a three-hour window to shoot eight looks, and had to balance flashes both subtlety for fill and dramatically for aesthetics as the light rapidly changed.

And finally, the 'Altherya' shoot, shot in a glass house with amazing views was an exercise in hiding reflections while again balancing strobe lighting with the natural light of a day of rolling clouds.”

"As a life-long artist with a keen eye for composition, I love bringing attention to good design. I’ve been photographing architecture and interiors professionally since 2006, working with designers and builders on a vast number of residential, corporate and other development projects.

In my commercial work, my style is focused on showcasing the best natural light presentation, which I love for its purity, but I also appreciate being able to push things in creative directions when I can. A great highlight this year was beginning my foray into aerial photography- and I think I'm hooked! I recently used my drone to shoot a number of projects for Kasian Design.

Other frequent clients include Maxxit Group, Thibodeau Architecture & Design, and Smith + Andersen. In my personal work one of the things I am drawn to is photographing abandoned places, which combines my architectural photography with my expressionist sensibilities."

Andrew is a photographer specialising in architecture, interiors, aerial and editorial work based in Vancouver, Canada.

A pre-breakfast work ethic was ingrained into him from many years of coaching, training, and competing in various sports. This also fostered his ability to work in small or large creative teams in the quest for excellence.

His photography seeks out the interplay and energy between natural light, spatial qualities, and the human interaction with these aspects. The resulting imagery imbues the viewer with an immersive sense of wonder, atmosphere, and place.

The scale of projects he visits are broad, from city towers to small wilderness cabins and boutique interiors. Each are of utmost interest and deserving of his creative attention, whether it be still photography, video, timelapse or aerial.

His partners and clients are predominantly architects, interior designers, developers, design agencies and editorial publications. Whether local or international, all have a common drive to push the boundaries of design at varying scales and they look to Andrew for imagery that aligns with this. His imagery is used to help win his clients design competitions, showcase their work in editorials, or in photography exhibitions.

He regularly writes and speaks about how to align your photographic vision and purpose with that of your clients. He is proud to be an ambassador for Phase One Cameras.

"One of the pleasures of photography is getting the chance to see new spaces and watch things happen before your eyes. Recently Alex had two backstage passes to amazing places. The first is the Arcteryx Vancouver factory to document the ReGear production space. The campaign was to help launch the new used gear portion of their website, following a used and damaged jacket through analysis, dissection, repair and recreation as a new an unique piece. The brief was to bring a crisp and modern aesthetic, but without taking over the very busy factory lines.

The second project presented is all about local painter Shevy Levy. Over a few months, Alex has been documenting the making of her new collection of abstract oil paintings, visiting her studio, shooting the works in progress and capturing the paintings in other spaces in preparation for a show.

In both instances lighting was unreliable, the factory was filled with old fluorescents, small tungstens, and various LEDs, and the studio was a small dimly lit space with only one window on the far side. Mixing strobes and on camera flashes, Alex worked to bring a consistent aesthetic across the projects that aligned with the creative direction from both clients."

Title: LIGHT WELL

"The light radiating through the brilliantly coloured staircases at the University of British Columbia's Skeena student residence brings an energy to your vertical movement as you rush to or from class."

Alex Waber specialises in fashion and fashion adjecent photography, and it turns out kids wear clothes too. He has photographed adorable tykes from three to 17 years old and their families for brands like Mountain Equipment Co-op, Shaw Communications, and Gymmet Yoga Wear.

Alex works easily with children in a calm and relaxed way. Before going full time as a commercial photographer, he worked teaching photography and dark room work for kids ages eight to 16, and helping out at kid's summer camps as well.

So whether its in studio on on location, Alex is great at getting the poses and laughs and keeping the set a fun place to be.

Living in Canada’s playground, Alex Waber has developed a strong love for nature.

Recent lifestyle projects have brought that to the fore, shooting the trails on Mount Seymour just behind Vancouver and going on a bike trip around Kamloops where Alex had the chance to document the massive destruction by last years' forest fires and the regrowth in the grasslands surrounding them.

Another very exciting project was shooting in the Vancouver Nursery, where most of the plants for Vancouver’s public gardens are grown and maintained. It was a beautiful environment full of soft cool light from white washed windows, textures, lines and of course flowers. His guide, Polly, was calmly closing up the green houses while the walked through.

Alex Waber is having a very creative year. Shooting for clients and working on his own projects, he has been working in studio and on locations around Vancouver, Canada.

Thus far Alex has been published in seven magazines this year including Vogue, Shuba, Selin and Elegant. At the same time he has been shooting campaigns for Arcteryx, Tilley, Purple, Section 35, Poplin & Co. and Daub and Design.

Gearing up for the summer months there are plans for more mountain shoots, athletic wear in action and at least a few classic studio sessions.
