Fall Roundup
Light moves differently. Colours flatten. Cold air set the mood for a refresh. This season, our projects have followed that change — leaning into tone, restraint, and the kind of imagery that speaks quietly but holds.
Gentle Men examines a quieter version of masculinity — one defined by awareness and compassion rather than performance. Conceived by longtime collaborator Nadyne Kasta, the series reflects an approach we often return to: honest, minimal, and human portraiture. We joined Nadyne to bring the project to life, building on years of shared trust and collaboration.
Inside the Canadian Museum of Nature, The Man Who Planted Trees invited us to respond to what was already there — the kind of light you can’t recreate, the stillness you can only work within.
Rather than constructing a scene, we followed the exhibit’s own atmosphere — soft light, suspended leaves, a sense of quiet scale. It reminded us how much of image-making is about listening: letting the environment dictate tone, and knowing when to stop.
Our work for Ottawa Tourism continues that same instinct — to see the familiar with precision. These images study the small gestures that define the city in this season: reflection on water, movement through colour, the geometry of light across familiar streets.
Even in a place we know well, the frame changes daily. That’s the part that keeps us looking.
Spring roundup
Renewed Elegance: NAC with Caroline Ohrt
Working with Caroline Ohrt, Executive Producer of NAC Dance, always feels like stepping into the quiet pulse of Ottawa’s creative scene. In past shoots, we've captured her in the wings, backstage, where the unseeneffort of dance and leadership lives.
This spring, we turned the camera outward, creating a new visual story that brought Caroline into the light—front of house, with a fresh energy and ease that felt exciting for her and for us. The result is a set of portraits that reflect where she and the NAC Dance program are headed: bold, present, and open to possibility.
Spring Campaign:
Playing with Light and Scale at The National Gallery of Canada
The National Gallery of Canada continues to be a creative playground for our team. With each visit, we discover new ways to appreciate its grand spaces, natural light, and the interplay between architecture and art.

This spring, our focus turned to the small details that make the Gallery feel alive in this season—the quiet pop of colour from a canvas, the soft glow of sun filtering through the Great Hall, and the scale of human presence against monumental design. These contrasts gave the images an almost meditative rhythm, inviting us (and the viewer) to slow down and look.
When a familiar place allows you to see it in a new light, it lends the work a sense of wonder, and this shoot captured exactly that.

Bringing Downtown to Life:
A Collaboration with Alphabet Creative
When Alphabet Creative approached us to contribute to the launch Downtown BIA, we were thrilled to be part of the creative process alongside Creative Director Steve Bowker. Their fresh take on the logo set the stage, and we were eager to bring it to life through photography and video.
Working alongside Chris Snow and Kevin Nault for the video, our role was to capture the essence of this vibrant neighbourhood. We met with nearly 25 business owners and local patrons, each with a story and character. Our challenge? To highlight each location's unique branding and personality, ensuring the campaign reflected the diverse spirit of the Downtown BIA.
Every shoot was an opportunity to think on our feet. We found compelling compositions on the spot, brought out authentic expressions (thanks to Remi’s best-class jokes), and injected energy into every frame. We embraced this creative challenge, proving that a neighbourhood’s personality isn’t just in its storefronts—it’s in the people who make it come alive.
