Telling the “Story of Surrey” through photographs


Capturing Your Story, Wherever It Takes Us

Hey, I'm Ian.

I'm all about capturing the essence of your brand's story through my lens, wherever that may take us. Based in Vancouver, my photography journey has led me to collaborate with amazing folks in the outdoor and tourism sectors, crafting visuals that make their products and experiences pop. But my work isn't confined to the wilderness or travel destinations. Whether it's snapping the perfect shot at an architectural site, adding some creative flair to a high-end fashion shoot, capturing the right moment in a corporate project, or making a food photoshoot look as good as it tastes, I’m up for the challenge.

As much as I love working in my own backyard, I'm also a seasoned traveler and have been lucky enough to work on projects around the globe. I’ve worked with some pretty cool brands like Destination Canada, Olympus, and National Geographic, to name a few.

“Ian was hands down the BEST photographer we could have gotten, there is not a single thing that could have gone better...in other words he was perfect! We are so happy with our pictures, and I know you will be too if you get then with Ian. He is reasonably priced, very professional, easy to work with, makes you feel at ease, and does a fantastic job with editing. In the booking process he was great at communicating and addressing questions, etc. as well.”
