Ottawa Photographers

Comparing photographers is a daunting task. Anyone can shoot a thousand shots on a wedding and get a few good ones. Unfortunately you can`t compare what one photographer will do given identical conditions and the same subject....unless....a person is photographed a few days apart in the same room by three different photographers.

Melanie Aitken is a prominent local executive who is smart, pretty and has a great boardroom. Here`s my version and two local wedding photojournalists shots.

There is an old saying that a photograph is worth a thousand words. I will let the photographs speak for themselves.

Awww...thats nice.

The current issue of Ottawa Life features Ottawa's Top 50 Citizens and guess who made the it on the cover. Nice to be in the company of Larry O'Brien, Alan Rock, and Michael Ignatieff. Read all about it here. Oh...row two five from the left...perhaps I ought to have smiled.

Some well known faces...

This is my portrait of a number of Canada`s Prime Ministers and Alex Trebek, which I shot for Magna and the CBC to promote the Next Great Canadian Prime Minister TV show that airs
today. I have photographed portraits of every Prime Minister from Trudeau to Harper and this
assignment is one I have carried out for 4 years on location in Toronto.
Sometimes I have to pinch myself when I realize that I am having a glass of wine with Kim Campbell or hearing John Turner describe me as his favorite photographer. Its always nice to
get together with them and this year meeting game show legend Alex Trebek was an added bonus.Behind the scenes...he`s funnier than on TV.

Now if I can get these guys to all smile on cue...imagine what we can do for YOU!
