We are a one stop shop for all your photographic needs. This site was a combo of our stock photography, assignment photography and studio portraits. Kind of nice to do it all from A to Z and even nicer to see it in print and online.

Photographing conventions, meetings and events is one of our specialties. We are referred by many of the top venues in Ottawa because we are a fulltime professional studio with 40 years of experience capturing the city and its businesses. This event was at the newly minted Shaw Centre in downtown Ottawa. Great lighting, nice displays and cool entertainment all need to be recorded properly to really tell the story. We pride ourselves on not only getting the shots…but adding a creative touch.

We shot these for a builder and the spread was picked up by our local newspaper, The Ottawa Citizen, for their glossy mag, Citizen Style. So nice to
see my work reproduced properly in good old print….it really separates solid technique from snap happy shooting that pervades much of the internet.
Come by the studio anytime to take a look at what quality looks like in print and on posters…yes, there is a difference.
I thought some of my commercial clients might want to know about our Christmas specials…Oh….we also do a lot of shoots during the holidays and have the potential to handle groups of 40+ right in our Centretown studio. This offer is limited to the above specs…but call us to talk about your other ideas for sessions on location or in the studio during the Christmas Holidays.

Creating a calendar for the Ottawa Redblacks was an interesting challenge. I created the first ever calendar for the Ottawa Roughriders over 25 years ago and was asked to work on the first Redblacks calendar given not only my photographic skills but also my understanding of how far to go with this theme in today`s society. Cheerleading is a hot-button topic and what most people do not understand is that these cheer teams are composed of both men and women athletes. They not only look good…they are people who contribute a lot of time to training for the routines and a lot more in community relations. Are they sexy looking…yes. The key however is that they are also glamorous, healthy accomplished men and women and that is how I tried to portray them. To date, on social media we have seen two complaints…out of 25,000 fans….I guess we succeeded!

Photographing Ottawa Airport for a corporate website was a lot of fun…The highlight was that they used a snap I did when I was leaving for the carpark as one of the main shots….It`s great to work to a shooting schedule, but cool to be able to improvise and have a client with the good taste to recognize a shot that communicates their vision.

I was on a commercial assignment at the Chateau Laurier the morning after the tragic events on Parliament Hill and the War Memorial. During a break, I decided to dust off my photojournalism skills. An eerie day in Ottawa, the likes of I hope to never see again.
The Redblacks hired me to shoot their first ever Cheer and Dance Team calendar recently. This is a little vid we did inhouse to promo the launch of the calendar.

We have shot the openings of dozens of malls and stores from the Rideau Centre to Ikea. Tight deadlines are the hallmark of this type of work. In this store, we had an hour to shoot ten diffent setups illustrating the retail displays, lighting and layout….we threw in a staff shot 30 seconds before they opened the door.

We like to capture products right the first time and shoot so that there is as little retouching as possible….but sometimes that simply is not possible.
Try as we might, these products were a couple of those cases in which we went as far as we could with light and knew that it was time to let Photoshop happen…
