A lot of people have been asking me how I get such great photos on my iPhone. And yes, I have a few favorite apps I use most of the time. They can help to create the image and the look you are after, but keep in mind that the iPhone and its apps are just tools. Use your creative eye first and foremost. Never rely on your tools to do the work for you.
That being said here’s a list of photo apps on my iPhone (in no particular order). Check em out!
Brands. Recognizable even upsidedown and backwards.
The name of your company is or should be a unique tie-in to the heritage, identity or other meaning of your business. It is the very first identifying mark of your company. In other words, our name establishes not only a brand identity but a corporate vision as well.
A brand is a set of attributes that—in the minds of customers—distinguish one company’s offerings from those of its competitors. A brand identity is the visual and verbal expression of that set of attributes. A cohesive, distinctive and relevant brand identity is an enormous asset in the marketplace. The very name provides added value and—in many cases—can command a price premium. It is necessary to establish a direct and unbreakable linkage between the attributes of the brand and the way they are expressed. A strong brand is one with immediately recognizable characteristics that set it apart from the crowd. When current or potential customers see or hear that brand name, they form a positive mental picture, based on its well-established attributes.
The consistent display of your brand enables your company to benefit from the success of itself. You will also realize savings, in terms of both time and costs, in the development of communication materials, products and services, not to mention the increase in professionalism your business with take.
As your company expands, your communications needs to become more complex. We will be introducing yourselves to many new audiences, and first impressions are very important. The consistent use of your brand identity will enable us to establish your company as a forward looking, professional provider of products and services. That is why each and every communication describing those offerings must bear the unmistakable mark of your brand identity.
It is important to understand that your guidelines provide for considerable flexibility. You shouldn’t want all your communications to look exactly alike. That would destroy their effectiveness. Instead, the main goal is to present a consistent “look and feel” that is unique to your company. This will enable you to continue to build your masterbrand, which will, in turn, enhance public recognition of every part of your company.
Are you looking for a casual photographer that will capture spectacular special moments in a “candid” style? What about just portraits? I specialize in capturing both styles for you and your family.
Let’s go take a walk in one of Calgary’s many parks and I will grab natural moments of your family without the images looking posed. I think this “candid” style is much more relaxed, more natural, and shows moments which are much more memorable.

Product photography for a local company. Shot in several pieces and put together in post.
In this post I will introduce you to my method for shooting and editing small product photography. The task I am going over was presented to me by a local company whom I met online. They had great ideas and a list of expectations from the get-go and this was the basis for my challenge: create imagery for their small yoga products to be used on their website and possibly in print. I had a lot of fun tackling this job and I encourage everyone to try it at least once in their lifetime.
We all could use a few pointers to improve our photography, and this post is going to do just that. I have compiled a few of my favorite tips that I have learned along the way in my photography career. Take note and maybe you can use them at your next gig!
