Alex Waber is a professional outdoor sport, lifestyle and fashion photographer conveniently based in Vancouver Canada. Convenient, because on any given day he’s able to get up in to the mountains to shoot hiking, the farm fields and valleys to capture cycling, or jump in a kayak to photograph on the water.
He’s shot campaigns for brands like Arcteryx, Tilley, Section 35, and Duer and his work has been published in Vogue, Outside, Wired, Rolling Stone and Complex Magazine.
Combining a strong in studio practice with a love of the outdoors enables Alex to work easily with complex lighting set ups on the sides of mountains. And being an avid outdoorsy guy, he’s very keen to get out to the toughest locations to capture the most stunning photography possible.
Photographer and director Brad Stanley shoots what excites him. From his early days of capturing bike and ski racing to shooting anything that moves, Brad has worked with brands such as Ford, GM, Jeep, Ram, Mack, International, Amtrak, and Honda.
Merging action with lifestyle has taken him around the world. Lifestyle and directing came naturally to him, with his approachable personality helping people feel comfortable and real moments being captured in front of the lens.
Brad’s approach goes beyond simply showcasing a product. He creates complete visual narratives, thoughtfully integrating location, talent, and atmosphere to produce imagery that embodies the full lifestyle surrounding each brand. Every shoot tells a story.
Brad and his talented crew look forward to working with you on your next project.

"Having spent almost 30 years photographing people, I’ve learned that my best work happens when I photograph people in their everyday lives, showing them as they truly are and in a way they appreciate being portrayed.
I often get to work in healthcare environments as well, documenting people with amazing skills using new technologies to help other people feel better. Knowing both sides of a larger global healthcare network has taught me a lot about how and when to photograph people.
Clients will look to me to portray real and accurate patient outcomes, capturing lifestyle moments that once seemed impossible."

Since February 2025, dancer Zoe Solomons and Mark Brumell have been collaborating on Dancing the Unseen, a fine art photography project exploring the intersection of movement, emotion, and spirituality.
Through this ongoing work, he aims to push the boundaries of visual storytelling, capturing moments that are dynamic, edgy, and evocative. In a world where much is seen but little is felt, the images seek to reveal the unseen — inviting the viewer to experience energy, emotion, and presence beyond the familiar.
The project is about experimentation and connection: the way light falls across movement, the tension between stillness and motion and the feeling that lingers after the image is made. Every frame is a one off, a moment caught between dancer and photographer, creating something that is as much about presence as it is about form.
Mary Beth Koeth was born in 1982 in Ohio, the youngest of five kids whose names all begin with M. Her parents, Mike and Marlene, moved to Texas when she was one, and she quickly embraced the Texas uniform: cowboy boots and a slight food stain on the lower bottom corner of her shirt.
She spent three and a half years at Texas Tech University and a semester in Florence dreaming about hot make-out sessions in the darkroom, but came out with a Design Communication degree instead.
Armed with visions of power suits and briefcases, Mary Beth moved to Kansas City to work as a designer for Hallmark Cards, and later moved overseas to work for Hallmark UK.
Koeth spent her weekends traveling Europe with a camera in hand and soon realised her goal of going back to school to pursue photography seemed fathomable. She spent two and a half months in Norway assisting photographer Nancy Bundt and observing tall, blond men. She's also interned for Miami photographer Sid Hoeltzell and Joe Pugliese in Los Angeles.
She now lives out of two suitcases, calling Miami and Dallas home.
Nic Daughtry is a lifestyle photographer/director based in Boulder and Los Angeles, whose work combines dynamic energy with authenticity, creating imagery that is both visually striking and emotionally resonant.
He has recently photographed and produced through his production company a campaign for Oros Apparel, a personal project with the VW Atlas featuring a real couple traveling along the coast, plus an outdoor project photographed while roadtripping through Wyoming exploring locations.
Nic has a deep appreciation for the landscapes and culture of the Western United States, drawing constant inspiration from his personal adventures and bringing that energy into his client work.

Originally a wildlife scientist and biodiversity conservationist, Nick blends his passion for the natural world with the specific needs of global brands and Fortune 500 advertising clients including American Airlines, Barclays Bank, BMW, Four Seasons, Intel, Nespresso, and Uber.
Nick is as comfortable roughing it with hunter gatherers in Tanzania as he is directing huge global advertising campaigns. Known throughout the industry as a gentle and immersive photographer, Nick brings an inclusive and thoughtful energy to all his projects allowing him to capture deeply emotional performances and iconic visuals that celebrate our connections to one another and the world all around us.
Based in Vancouver, Noel Hendrickson is an internationally recognised commercial photographer, director, and storyteller. Known for capturing the extraordinary in subtle in-between moments, he excels in visual storytelling that reveals his subjects’ true emotions. His curiosity fuels his creativity, driving him to explore new ways of capturing his environment. Noel lives on the mountain, next to the sea in Vancouver.
"Some of my favourite moments while shooting happen when I’m fully immersed in the action, whether it’s a week-long lifestyle shoot with a family or underwater Navy Seal training. Photography is about how you experience your surroundings and how you tell that story. I’ve had moments where being uncomfortable was part of the process — waiting in -40C for a polar bear family or hanging out of a helicopter above a glacier in freezing temperatures, waiting for a luxury train."
“Noel and his team are miracle workers. We had a complex multi-day shoot involving 12 talents in various locations, including outdoor and underwater. Despite a late-season hurricane, Noel’s resourcefulness delivered beautiful shots. Clients and the agency were thrilled, and I look forward to working with him again.” – Trisha Salge, Associate Creative Director, McCann Health.
Paul Miller is a Denver-based photographer and director creating cinematic portraiture and lifestyle imagery shaped by dramatic light and rich atmosphere. His work blends carefully directed light, composed human presence, and immersive environments to produce images that feel like still frames from a larger story. Visually intentional, emotionally grounded, and built to live inside campaigns.
With over two decades working alongside agency creatives, brand teams, and production crews, Paul brings a genuinely collaborative approach to every project. The best shoots happen when everyone in the room is aligned and building something together. On set that means clear communication, calm energy, and a crew assembled with intention. With the production footprint always matched to concept and budget without compromising standards.
When he's not behind a camera, Paul is usually making something with his hands. Restoring Ethel, his 1964 travel trailer, keeping his vintage Honda motorcycle Ursula on the road, or working on the latest project at Ghost, his Denver production studio.
As a photographer and director, Thomas Kettner approaches fragrance as something that can’t be shown literally, but instead must be translated through image, movement, and atmosphere.
INTERSTELLAR is a scent, and these visuals, alongside the film, represent his interpretation of its character. Rather than illustrating perfume in a conventional way, he draws on the body, light, tension, and release, creating a visual language that feels raw, cinematic, and emotionally charged.
Thomas’ work goes beyond pose and styling, instead focusing on presence, energy, and genuine emotion. Suspended between shadow and light, intimacy and impact, control and surrender, INTERSTELLAR transcends a typical fragrance campaign, becoming a sensory experience shaped through his distinctive photographic and directorial eye.
