Metro Vancouver Street Photography

Join me for an evening of long exposure architectural photography at the brutalist masterpiece, Simon Fraser University, designed by Arthur Erickson.
This monumental work is one of Erickson’s most famous designs, celebrated since the 1960s for its dramatic use of concrete, natural materials, and strategically placed mosaics. The campus has been the backdrop for numerous films, including The Fly II (1988), Antitrust, Agent Cody Banks, The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Interview, and more.
During our photo walk, we’ll explore:

• Academic Quadrangle
• Convocation Mall
• West Mall

We’ll arrive in time for golden hour, capture the sunset, and finish during blue hour, giving us 1.5–2 hours of shifting light to create dramatic, illuminated images.

So grab your camera, and let’s make some architectural magic together!

Join me for an afternoon of landscape and nature photography as we create beautiful environmental “portraits” at magnificent Nitobe Japanese Memorial Garden.
It is anticipated that the Japanese Maples around the pond at Nitobe Japanese Garden will be showing off their brilliant fall colour! Grab your camera, comfy shoes, a coat and join me in creating some beautiful images that celebrate the fiery autumn season! Please note: I cannot guarantee what colour the foliage will be; if you are concerned, please contact Nitobe Japanese Garden to confirm the state of the trees yourself.

From mid-October to early November, the UBC Botanical Garden is a spectacular destination for autumn colours. The diverse collections include plants from around the world, but the Carolinian Forest Garden is especially remarkable in the fall. This section features a concentration of hardwood trees characteristic of Eastern North America, a region renowned for its vibrant fall foliage. Visitors can enjoy a striking display of seasonal colour that rivals the famous autumn landscapes of the East.
