Award Season is here. Vanmag got a couple National nominations. Meanwhile Vanmag and Western Living got a bunch at the Western Magazine Awards. Martin Tessler got 2 noms for a couple shoots we worked on together for Best Photograph (above: To all a good night, and the stairway from WL Condo). I got a nomination for best art direction for an article for ‘Chefs Tips: How to Peel an Artichoke’ from Western Living.  

Sneak peak at the WL May Issue. Travel Like a Pro. (wish we could have gotten some spreads for this feature; didn’t happen.)

From the October 2012 issue of Western living. New furniture trend feature. I wanted this to look like it was a exhibition in a gallery. Lots of white space, and all about the composition.

Another design for Vanmag. This was the second half of their fashion feature. We sent out 3 Vancouver fashion bloggers to chronicle what’s going on in the city now.

This is a shoot that appeared in the Fall/Winter 2010 issue of CONDO for a piece called ‘The Bachelor’. It was an amazing space. I loved the contrast of raw brick and concrete mixing with high end modern design. It all had a very masculine feel to it.

This shoot went on to win Gold at the National Magazine Awards in the Homes and Gardens category (my first win) with Martin Tessler.

On set a lot this week. Today I was at a shoot for the May issue of Western Living’s Picnicking food story with photographer Clinton Hussey and stylist Murray Bancroft, both really talented guys.

Here is a Summer Eating package that ran in the June 2011 issue of Western Living, which featured three dishes for a perfect outdoor party. Clinton and Murray pulled great surfaces, and Clinton really got that outdoor lighting feel (even though we shot in studio).
