Alex Waber is a Vancouver-based photographer specialising in fashion, beauty and product photography. His work has been internationally published including in Vogue, Wired, Complex, Rolling Stone, The Guardian, Forbes, and Outside. He has shot for brands including Arc’teryx, DUER, ANIAN, SECTION 35, and Roots.

Recently he’s photographed and directed video for a campaign for a new (unreleased) product for long time client No Reception Club. The project involved multiple locations around the Vancouver area, from airfields with vintage planes to a beautiful cabin overlooking the sea.

He also just wrapped up another project for Tuft and Paw, a company specialising in everything you need for your favourite cat. Over the years working with Tuft, Waber has shot in many beautiful homes around Vancouver, in studio and at a cat cafe. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it.

Anatol Gottfried works across advertising and lifestyle photography — building imagery that fits both polished campaigns and candid, human moments depending on the requirements.

For The Coca-Cola Company, he shot two distinct campaigns in the sports and hydration space. BODYARMOR Lyte, a low-calorie electrolyte drink, called for a grounded lifestyle approach: young people at a beach, a festival, a night kiosk. Unforced, color-driven frames that place the brand inside everyday active life beyond gym-culture posturing. Powerade took a different direction: a Cape Town shoot centered on one basketball player, the focus was physical intensity — imagery built on contrast and raw presence.

Work like this, spanning candid lifestyle and high-contrast sport, defines how Anatol moves across categories for clients worldwide.

"Working in a variety of locations and environments creates the ability to adapt and 'read the room'.

Whether the talent and subject are nervous, or weather suddenly changes, the best advice learned while coming up in this industry is: anticipate. Anticipate with your full nervous system. It's almost a superpower, in fact... it is.

It is a constant awareness of everything within you, and everything without; from gear to client to crew to talent to the movements and energy surrounding the set."

Cosimo Salvati is a commercial and advertising photographer based in Mexico City, working across lifestyle, food & beverage, fashion, and editorial

His work moves between the controlled precision of studio still life and the energy of large-scale campaign productions — a range reflected in recent projects for brands like Liverpool, Miller High Life, Dos Equis, Tecate, Pepsi, American Eagle, KFC, and Nescafé, as well as editorial features for GQ México and Grazia.

His approach centers on building a clear visual language for each brand — images that feel specific, not generic — whether that's a beer shot with attitude or a fashion campaign with real texture and life.

Cosimo works primarily in Mexico and the US market, collaborating with agencies and brands looking for work that balances craft with character.

"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."

We offer a full end-to-end production service, and we’re often brought in right at the start of a project, helping to shape ideas and approach, from day one. Budgets, logistics, locations, casting, styling—we know how to make it all work smoothly, creatively, and without drama, on time and on budget. From lean, stripped-back stills to full-scale TVCs, we've produced just about everything.

We attribute our long history in the industry as our desire to be forward-looking and AI is now a big part of our offering.

Even in an age where anyone can manipulate anything at a whim, fact still beats fiction. As a race, we’re programmed to recognise truths. It’s why the world’s greatest brands have been built on them.

Jason Knott has known that all his life. As a kid he experimented with an old box camera, tinfoil, paper and passers-by. That was all there was. Beautiful images had to come from subjects. Contours, emotions, muscles in faces, pupils of eyes, glances, turns, things in hands, skies, walls, the worn shine on the seat of a car.

30 years and a few cameras on, Jason works the same way. No fakes. No substitutes. Just the wonders people and places already have, found and framed. His eye searches, the camera remembers. That’s it.

Look at Jason’s images and you can smell the air by seeing it. Sense a joy in a mind by staring a face in the eyes. Hear birdsong looking at a row of trees. Touch the sweat on a brow by noticing it. Visually and beautifully, Jason tells the truth. And that is all communication really has to do to succeed.

Some photographers make images that look good. Paul Miller makes images that feel like something. His work, cinematic, atmospheric, and grounded in real human presence, has been built over two decades of lifestyle, portrait, and campaign production alongside agencies, brand teams, and crews who come back. On set he brings clarity of vision and a collaborative approach that keeps the creative moving in the right direction. In post he stays hands-on until the colour, tone, and feel are exactly right.

When he's not behind a camera he's usually making something with his hands. Restoring Ethel, his 1964 travel trailer, keeping his vintage Honda motorcycle Ursula on the road, or working on whatever the current project is at Ghost, his live/work production studio in Denver. The same instincts that drive his photography, craftsmanship, attention to detail, and knowing when something is finally right, tend to follow him everywhere.
