Altitude Sports X Mountain Hardware

This summer I had the opportunity to shoot some images for Altitude Sports & Mountain Hardware in the Selkirk Mountain Range of BC. This shoot was an experience like no other as it was also a guided training exercise in mountaineering over 5 days. We flew from a logging road to a high alpine basecamp that was set up by the Alpine Club of Canada. It was a luxurious experience considering we were at 7000 feet. There was a full kitchen and kitchen staff who prepared amazing meals daily & even hot showers. Each day groups went out on missions, attempting to summit various peaks in the area. Here are some of my photos from the shoot!

I get a lot of joy showing people around BC that are not from here, so when Coldsmoke Co hit me up to shoot a look book for them in Tofino, I was ecstatic. These guys make technical outerwear from some of the best materials in the world, made in LA. It’s not like this group hasn’t travelled but none of them had been to this special place on Vancouver Island…

Blundstone X Pilgrimme

Blundstone Canada sent me to my favourite restaurant to photograph chef Jesse McCleery & his partner Leanne Lalonde a part of their Blundstone Ambassador program. Pilgrimme restaurant is a unique farm-to-table experience, where Jesse brings unique and interesting techniques and flavours to the table from foraged wild berries to fermented and dehydrated vegetables. Each dish we sampled was unbelievable, I can still remember the flavours to this day. 

Over the course of 2 days, we booked a cabin at Bodega Ridge, explored the island, including a hike with Jesse & Leanne to forage for some secret ingredients near the beach. I chose to shoot 2 rolls of film on this shoot as Blundstone provided me with creative freedom to capture a profile of the restaurant. Here are a few shots, enjoy!
