Architecture Photography: Ikea Winnipeg

Tuesday, December 4, 2012

IKEA Canada requested a series of photo shoots leading up to the grand opening of their first Winnipeg store. The week prior to their opening event, I spent a few days in the nearly 400,000 square-foot store shooting architectural images. I like to shop, so wandering through IKEA for 3 days without being able to purchase anything was a bit agitating. However, the staff at IKEA and Citizen Optimum L.P. were fantastic to work with. These people are happy and cooperative. They either love their jobs or are great at faking it. Thanks for the opportunity to work together.

Thank you, ladies. And Kiki, I agree the green cupboards are great.

IKEA Winnipeg: Opening Event

Saturday, December 1, 2012

IKEA opened its first store in Winnipeg on Nov. 28, and the world’s largest furniture retailer asked me to do a series of photo shoots leading up to their opening event. This was a big deal for Winnipeggers (apparently a VERY big deal for some) who started lining up at midnight for the 9 a.m. opening.

Thousands of people waited  in frigid temperatures to be first through the doors. Fortunately, IKEA is built for crowds. At nearly 400,000 square-feet, it is now the largest store in Western Canada. Here’s a peak at the opening event, and some of those ambitious (maybe a bit crazy) Winnipeggers who make events like these a little more exciting and give onlookers something to talk about. Welcome to Winnipeg, IKEA. I’ll be back.

A bit belated: Elsa’s 1

Monday, November 26, 2012

In one very short year, she’s become my most photographed model. Once again, here’s my niece, Elsa. It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since this. For this last photo shoot before the snow started to fall, we dragged the rest of the family along for a mini session. It was a gorgeous day with perfect lighting, and Keith might have even cracked a smile for this one.

Elsa: 6 months

Sunday, April 8, 2012

My niece is six months old, and I’m insanely jealous that someone with chubby rolls and pasty white skin can be this cute. Elsa is gorgeous and happy and giggly. She’s also a diva in the making, and can certainly strike a pose for the camera. Her big brother and my favorite little man, Jaxon, also joined us for a few shots.  Elsa, cheese, Elsa, cheese, Elsa, cheese.

Tractor Safety: video shoot

Wednesday, February 8, 2012

I just received a delivery of apples from the Okanagan (the largest and most beautiful ambrosias you’ve ever seen), and was reminded that I never posted these images from my last Okanagan photo shoot.

I spent two rainy, cool days in Kelowna apple orchards while WorkSafeBC filmed a video on tractor safety. Although it certainly wasn’t vacation weather, we couldn’t have paid for a better soft box- those overcast skies were consistent for the entire two days. Thanks to this crew from Vancouver for including me in the shoot. It was great to watch your creative minds at work.

WorksafeBC has an impressive collection of videos focusing on safety in the workplace, from agriculture to healthcare. Some of those videos were highlighted in an article I wrote for the latest issue of WorkSafe Magazine.
