East Van Interior Design

I had the pleasure of shooting this beautiful East Vancouver home designed by the lovely Vancouver-based interior designer, Bryony Wright.

3" thick quartz waterfall island countertop with Carrera marble subway tile backsplash. 

Open concept layout - kitchen/dining room

I was also lucky enough that the home owner liked my fine art photos and decided to hang some of my prints in prominent spaces in his home. It's always a treat to see your work printed on a large scale like this. 

A large black-and-white abstract photo shot by me and printed on acrylic hangs on the wall of the master bathroom. 

A Mediterranean tryptic printed on acrylic hangs in the upstairs hallway 

Geometric tile and stripes in the powder room. 

Love the white cow-hide rug in the living room

British Properties Contemporary

I had the opportunity recently to shoot a doozie of a home in the British Properties in West Vancouver. Shooting at twilight during the summer solstice makes for a bit of a long night, but it was worth it! Even though it presents its own set of challenges, I really like making photos of interiors at this time of day.

Endless angles to shoot in a beautiful home like this, so it was tough to pick and choose a few to share below. Enjoy! 

The panel-front fridge makes for a clean, seamless bank of cabinets. 

Dining room with a peek of the stairway leading to the lower level. 

Master bedroom 

The spa bathroom for pool use. 

This $2.8 million West Vancouver property is listed by Melanie Thomas, so send her a line if you're interested in the details!

Featured on the Vancouver Is Awesome Blog

Recently, Vancouver's "best local blog", Vancouver Is Awesome, featured a photo of mine on their website and Instagram account. Every day, they pick their favourite Instagram photo of the day and share it with their followers. On May 28th, they picked one of mine! Pretty cool. Here's a screenshot: 

I took the photo on a Tuesday hike adventure up on Mt Seymour with a buddy of mine. Guess there's still snow up there in late May! Here's the original shot:

Behind the Scenes

Occasionally, I like to snap a quick "behind the scenes" pic with my iPhone. I'll usually upload these to my Instagram account. Many of the images on the camera screen below eventually ended up in my interiors and architecture portfolio. 

This was a Georgie Award winning $4 million West Vancouver home with stunning views of the Lions Gate Bridge that I shot for Sopka Developments last year. 

Amazing kitchen in Richmond shot for Dakota Holdings. These guys have such a great eye for quality and detail. 

Occasionally I am hired to shoot aerial, panoramic views of multi-family buildings that are yet to be built. These photos are taken high in the sky with the aid of a boom lift, the shadow of which you can see on the ground. These photos help market the property to potential pre-sale buyers - especially at the penthouse level!  For this particular project, I was hired by BLVD Marketing Group, the firm doing the marketing for Pennyfarthing Development Corp.

The panini stand in Fresh St Market in West Vancouver. I photographed this entire grocery store for King Retail Solutions, the team behind the design. 

High up in the Residences at the Hotel Georgia in downtown Vancouver. This building is something else. There is a view of the Hotel Vancouver right out the window to the left. 

West Vancouver apartment building photographed for West Vancouver Realtor David Mackenzie. 

A show suite bedroom shot for Marcon Construction's Cornerstone development. 

A modern apartment in The Village, photographed for Vancouver Realtor Robert Matthews.

Travel Photography: Playa Del Carmen

I was lucky enough to spend a week in Mexico last month. And like any good photographer with his priorities in order, I couldn't wait to take some travel photos! 

There is something about that Tropic of Cancer sky that is difficult to put into words. It's so much different than the sky here in Vancouver (and not just because it's cloudy here 80% of the time!). The Mexican sky is somehow muted and neon at the same time. Combined with green palms, turquoise water, white sand, and warm architecture it's a fun place to make pictures. 

I came home with a lot of keepers, but I was particularly happy with how the two abstract photos below turned out.
