DAVID ELLINGSEN PHOTOGRAPHY

Here’s the rest of that shoot for BC based pet food manufacturer Petcurean and the new GO! product line.
Two days shooting this series in-studio…with a blackout set including cats and a water pool (not together, phew)…with creative director Matthew Clark from Subplot Design Inc. and the wonderful in-house gang from Petcurean. Thanks again to Gina at THEY Rep for all the production.

I now know the literal meaning of “herding cats”…

Action animal and pet advertising photograph from Vancouver commercial photographer David Ellingsen for new Petcurean's new packaging design, with agency Subplot Design Inc.

The official launch for BC pet food manufacturer Petcurean’s new advertising campaign and re-branding launches today at the Superzoo 2011 trade show in Las Vegas. I photographed animals in action in the studio this summer with Subplot Design for the GO! product line. I’ll post the entire campaign soon…

The results are in…and I’m happy to announce I have received 4 “Honorable Mentions”.

Over 8,000 submissions from 90 countries were received for the 2011 International Photography Awards with over 70 jurors, the largest to date. The Foundation’s mission is to honor master photographers, discover new and emerging talent, and promote the appreciation of photography.

A heartwarming and humbling experience capturing photographs of some of the men and women riding in this year’s Ride to Conquer Cancer which supports cancer research at the BC Cancer Agency. Working for the Ride’s sponsor Enbridge with the agency WAX Partnership Inc from Calgary, we shot on location here in Vancouver during what turned out to be the only two days of sun we’ve had this spring (phew).

Thanks to Brad and Sheldon from WAX; David from Enbridge; makeup artist Brenda Bakker; crew Eric Thompson, Cameron Hunter and Eric Dreger; UHaul for that crazy little trailer (perfect) and the amazing production from Gina Hole and Jaime at THEY Rep.

Special thanks to the City of Richmond for your location assistance.
