I am back in Canada! What a trip in the last 5 weeks or so. Here is an image from the workshop I did at Domaine de Boisbuchet in France. I worked with the amazing CuldeSac from Valencia, and a bunch of very talented designers to create a fun outdoor installation. It was definitely a very inspiring experience for a photographer who never builds anything by hand! It gave me a new perspective on photography and my creative process. But most precious of all, I made some great friends! The nights of us sitting by the bonfire, dancing to 80’s disco, swimming in the lake, and being totally immersed in nature and art, will never be forgotten.
another night, another bonfire
On our way to the lake.
My new best friends in Boisbuchet. Lily from Australia and Pipo from Spain.
Here are some more winter shots from the campaign I shot for Travel Alberta earlier this year. If snow looks awesome in the photos, that’s because it is! Lots and lots of dry power snow in the mountains of Alberta. I can’t wait to go back this winter to hit the slopes properly. Last time we were out there we only had the chance to make one run after we wrapped the day… but I ended up carrying my 40lb camera bag because I wanted my assistant to enjoy the ride after a long day.
There are more! I just need some time to go through them again. I think I have been showing about 1% of the stuff I shoot…
Talking about snow, tomorrow we head to Whistler to shoot for an awesome hotel client. Still not gonna be able to hit the slopes this time, but hey staying inside a cozy fancy hotel sounds pretty good to me, too.
Domaine di Boisbuchet evening. The week I spent at Domaine di Boisbuchet was one of the highlights for me this year. The one week we spent studying design and building everything by hands definitely has changed how I view myself as a creative. I am still very hesitant to call myself an artist, but I have come to realize my medium does not need to be limited to just photography. It is just one creative language I speak now to tell stories. There can be many more.
It’s finally online! Here are a few screen grabs from Travel Alberta’s new site http://www.remembertobreathe.com. Working with talented Art Director John Halliday from Karo Design, I shot some of the still images for their winter campaign. It was an absolutely amazing experience. This winter I am definitely going back to Alberta to snowboard. Seriously the best powder I have ever seen anywhere.
Long time no post! Christmas came and I was finally able to rest a bit. December has been an exciting month at HKP. We shot for Pan Pacific Whistler, BBDO Toronto/Shaw Cable, and Report on Business Magazine. 3 totally different shoots, but totally fun! I am proud to say we shot both motion and still for Pan Pacific and Shaw. I am stoked to be finally integrating motion to my still shoots. It’s gonna be really exciting from now on as we keep finding ways to utilize the 2 tools together. I am having a blast so far.
Here is an image shot earlier this year at Lake Louise. Quite a bit of a whiteout but we added some interest with the strobe/flare. My fearless assistant Jay held a Profoto strobe up high from the lift chair behind the models. I twisted myself around from the lift chair in front of the models. The whole time the awesome art director John from Karo Design was on the radio directing the models. This image didn’t make the final select, but it was a lot of fun to shoot!
If you have ever been inspired by sports, I think you might be interested in this little documentary I made. Tugende Baseballer is a story about baseball in Uganda. It’s about 8 minutes long. Please have a watch, share it, and perhaps consider supporting this great cause.
