DAVID ELLINGSEN PHOTOGRAPHY

Some out-takes from a recent shoot…more to come…

Some of the work I photographed for BC Place Stadium last year has been included in the updated website for the new renovations…

Hot off the press.

I photographed Mike Dennison a while back for his new “Runner’s Yoga” DVD which has now just been released. Mike has been teaching yoga and running for years now and quickly saw the benefits of combining the two into a complete training program. Now you can too!

Get going….

A feature article from Photo District News online, Photoserve, was published today about the installation in BC Place Stadium. I was interviewed about the project in relation to the renovations for the 2010 Winter Olympics and beyond. The resulting write-up, sent out by email newsletter to 15,000 Creatives, is an in-depth story on the shoot itself, the production behind it and working with DDB Canada/Karacters here in Vancouver.

I always check out these newsletters for industry info, updates and interesting articles from one of the original online sources for the photography industry. If you’re interested you can sign up for future newsletters of the Photoserve News here.

Here’s how the article looks:

…and the newsletter itself…

Recently photographed local rock climber Joel Lafortune out at Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver. One of my favorite locations in the area with a dramatic rock face straight down to the ocean…and happily just enough space to balance a light stand. Assistant Marc not only got to help out moving gear but, as the photograph above shows, was literally at the end of his rope helping Joel to stay safe under less than perfect conditions.

Interest is heating up for photographs of the City of Vancouver, host of the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Alongside heavy hitters Diane Arbus and David LaChapelle (and that is just the “D” section), my work has recently been added to Poland’s gorgeous ModernPhoto website. An inspirational site of international photographers…worth a look for anyone interested in photography.

Here’s a bit of information from their website (translated from Polish):
“MODERNPHOTO, most of all, is a subjective collection of the best photo galleries available on the net. On our site we place only carefully selected photography galleries and artists. MODERNPHOTO is for those who are searching for professional photographers, want to check how professional photographs are taken or are just looking for inspiration. Our main purpose is to promote good photography and present interesting artists and their work. The MODERNPHOTO.PL website shows what modern photography is and can be.”
