What do you mean by creative portraits?
Creative portraits encompass a genre of photography that utilizes unconventional lighting techniques, digital manipulation, and artistic interpretation to craft visually stunning and emotionally compelling images.
Unlike traditional portraiture, which focuses primarily on capturing realistic representations of individuals, creative portraits often push the boundaries of imagination and creativity, incorporating elements of fantasy, surrealism, and abstraction to evoke powerful emotions and narratives.
Let's create works of art that challenge perceptions, ignite your imagination, and leave a lasting impression.
Can a creative portrait talk to my passions, hobbies, etc?
Creative portraits often integrate props, symbols, or elements related to your passions or hobbies. Whether it's musical instruments, sports equipment, books, or artifacts from a favorite hobby, these items serve as visual cues that reflect the subject's interests and help to tell their story.
We may tailor the settings and environments of your creative portrait to align with the your passions. This could involve shooting in specific locations such as a dance studio, a workshop, a library, or an outdoor space that holds personal significance or alternatively, we can create the scene digitally through the power of digital artistry.
Through artistic interpretation and creative manipulation, we can infuse your portrait with elements that symbolize your passions in a metaphorical or abstract way.
Collaborating with you to co-create the portrait session allows us to delve deeper into your passions and bring your vision to life. By being involed in the planning process, we can gain insights into what drives you, what inspires you, and what makes you come alive, resulting in a portrait that authentically reflects your unique identity and interests.
Do you have a studio?
I have a comfortable small home studio here on the south edge of Calgary.
However, I maintain a travel package that means we can capture the images in your home or place of business.
What photography services do you offer?
Headshots/Actor Headshots
To make you look great for your social media needs or personal prints. Normally taken in my home studio but can be on location (home or office).
Creative and Commercial Portraits
These are often more customized to fit a particular vision you have and may be for editorial, promotional, person, or commercial purposes. We'll start the process with a brainstorming session and perhaps an inspirational board where we'll develop the concept and mood you may have in mind. Remember, that with my expertise in digital artistry, we can really create something quite unique and have a lot of fun doing it!
Families
If it's a standout family photo you're looking for, then let's talk. Your family is important and so is the photo so we'll discuss everything including location, clothing, concept, time of day, and maybe some cool ideas you may have in mind.

I do shoot for branding purposes including products, so if that's what you need, let's talk!
