Hotel Vancouver 80th Anniversary Shoot

When Rebecca from Fairmont Hotel Vancouver first called me about an upcoming photo shoot for their 80th Anniversary that would be inspired by unique and interesting stories in the hotels’ history I was immediately excited to come onboard. Dennis Gocer from The Collective You led the way coming up with 7 portrait shots and I jumped into Casting & Production.

Potentially my favourite casting gig to date as on top of our two awesome leads (Callum Gunn + Daniella Filer) I got to cast our hero horse - Regallo - and some falcons for our Bellman shot.

We shot over one long production day and I remember laughing through my 1st AD morning meeting announcement when I said “Ok first up we have a shot in the ballroom with Regallo the horse, then we move up to the rooftop for our Bellman shoot with the Falcons and then De Beers arrives with our jewellery for some portraits”. Definitely a fashion shoot!

Mark's Work Warehouse Christmas Stills Campaign

I had the pleasure of Producing my first Snow Effects Stills Shoot under photographer Noel Hendrickson for Mark's Work Warehouse.  The Snow FX team did a fantastic job and it was a tonne of fun pulling together a winter wonderland on a sunny Vancouver day! 

Here are some of the final brochure images.  

Fairmont Global Dubai + Singapore Campaign

In 2014 I was extremely privileged to get the opportunity to Produce a major stills and video campaign for Fairmont Global through my partnership with Hubert Kang and under the leadership of agency, FCB.  The project was a massive undertaking with over 9 shoot days filmed across Dubai and Singapore.  Hubert and I worked together to find local production teams in each city and worked with them to source location permits, cast local talent and handle all production logistics.   The project was one of my favourites for 2014 and I am very proud to share some images with you below and on my STILLS page (all shot by Hubert Kang).  

Also make sure you check out some of the video content shot by Matt Queree in this Director cut video from the Dubai portion of the trip (Co-Directors - Hubert Kang + Matt Queree, Editor/Writer - Heather Mosher).

Fairmont Vancouver Notch 8 Restaurant Launch

Working with the Fairmont is always amazing but getting the opportunity to Produce a stills and video campaign for their new restaurant launch was a tonne of fun!  Notch 8, based in Hotel Vancouver, pays homage to the hotel's history as one of the legendary railway hotels built by the Canadian Pacific and the Canadian National Railways and as such has slight design features that mimic this railway history.  Shooting in such a cool space with a hint of history and old world charm inspired both the video and stills team to deliver some incredible work!
