What a great oportunity it was to meet and photograph this man for Sportsnet Magazine. His story is inspiring, heartbreaking and is like no other. It is told beautifully by Dan Robson at Sportsnet and you can read it here. I highly recommend taking the time to read it.

Late last summer I worked with Canadian House & Home and Senior Editor Meg Crossely to photograph the amazing work of Designer Nam Dang-Mitchell. This is the third time Nam has been featured in the magazine in almost as many months. I've been shooting interiors for some time now and it is always a pleasure shooting with Nam as her spaces are so well considered and creative. I will be putting a new 'Interiors' section on my website soon - stay tuned.
Recently shot for Konzuk and the new collection 'Sway' which just came out. Local jewellery designer Karen Konzuk does amazing work and it was a pleasure to work again with her and Dwayne Dobson from Combine. Thanks to model Kim Noseworthy and our hair and makeup artist Teslin Ward.
Congrats to Phillip Elliott who yet again was a finalist in this years Contessa contest. Phillip was up for mens hair stylist of the year. The images below are a selection of ones we shot and entered in the contest. Styling was by Carl Abad and clothes were provided by Henry Singer. Thanks to our models who braved the clippers.
Mayor Nenshi was voted yet again as the Calgary public favourite and was voted for the recent July cover of Avenue Magazine. I had the pleasure of meeting the Mayor and photographing him for this months feature Style Q & A. As expected, he was gracious with his time and had a great many things to talk about - see his full interview here. Our shoot was a quick one and over and done before we knew it but a memorable shoot none the less. The magazine article and more shots from the shoot are here.
Styling by Carl Abad and Hair/makeup by Teslin Ward.
Here is the Cover and an outtake that I thought just might be a shot of Mayor Nenshi scheming the future of Calgary...

This months issue of Chatelaine features the wonderful and talented Connie DeSousa who is co-owner and chef at Charcut Roast House. I had the pleasure of photographing Connie in her restaurant for this feature and hearing her great stories of culinary competition and past life as a ballet dancer. Connie is also starring in Top Chef Canada, battling it out with the last 6 remaining chefs (as of today).
Chatelaine ran 2 shots from the shoot but passed on the shot with the pigs head (attached below)... I knew it probably wouldn't run in the magazine but I had to get a shot of it. Connie can carve a pigs head faster than most of us cut up a tomato!
Thanks to Leah Van Loon for styling, Teslin Ward for hair and makeup, and Will Young for assisting. Also thanks to Connie for hooking us up with some great appetizers post shoot - Charcut has easily become a favourite restaurant and lucky for me I will be back shooting next week for another magazine.

Here's some new work I did recently for this months issue of Avenue Magazine. We got a behind the scenes look at Alberta Ballet's new production Fumbling Towards Ecstasy which is a collaboration with Sarah McLachlan. The ballet is inspired by and choreographed to her music. This was a fun shoot and interesting to see the work that goes on behind the scenes. The costumes are created by Paul Hardy specifically for this production. Congratulations to Alberta Ballet and everyone involved, this looks it will be a great show!
For the second year I was fortunate enough to shoot the WJ Annual Report. As before, I had a great time working with the always positive team at WestJet and talented bunch at TAXI. We photographed "WestJetters", the exec team and board members in Calgary and Toronto. Here are a few samples of the photography we did in the report. You can see the seamless online version here. Art Direction and Design by David Taylor at TAXI Toronto.
Fun shoot with some great local personalities for Swerve Magazines fall fashion story. Thanks to Malwina Gudowska and Rita Siragnano for Styling and Olga Onulov for hair and makeup.

Here are a few samples:
