PUBLISHED – UYW MAGAZINE
The beautiful second anniversary issue of Australian on-line journal UYW was released today…an issue which focuses on artists using alternative methods in photography. This edition of Unless You Will was co-curated by founder Heidi Romano and Italy’s Fabio Severo and, along with my Hibernus series, includes wondrous work from Binh Danh (the chlorophyll printing process is breathtaking), Beth Dow and fellow Canadian Curtis Wehrfritz.

ON THE COVER OF NEW UK FASHION MAGAZINE “MAGPIE DARLING”
Out with an indie splash, Magpie Darling is a new British based fashion magazine who have just released their premier issue. My recent shoot with stylist Leila Bani and makeup/hair artist Brenda Bekker appears in a spread inside, as well as on the cover and the website. You can follow through here to get a copy of the magazine in print or digital format, including an iPad version.




NEW WORK – MARA GOTTLER’S FALL/WINTER 2011 COLLECTION
ELITE CANADIAN TRIATHLETE MICHELLE BALL
WINNIPEG WILDLIFE
When I was in Winnipeg recently I went to the Manitoba Museum and wandered through the natural history exhibit…love those crazy dioramas. My 5 year old nephew, Angus, is a wildlife nut and I thought since he wasn’t there that I’d take some photographs for him to see. iPhone to the rescue…
Hmmm…I think a “Diorama Photo Contest” may be in order…any takers?







SUGAR STUDIOS ARE OPEN
A new studio for photography and video production is now open here in Vancouver.
Sugar Studios opened their doors this last Monday, Feb 8th, down at 1635 Powell St near the north end of Commercial Drive. I was excited to be the first to shoot in the new space and had a chance to test drive both the large Studio A on the ground level and smaller Studio B upstairs (the best natural light studio I have seen here. Huge windows – gorgeous light!).
Here’s a quick shot of Studio B…

And Studio A…

And a portrait of the lovely Helen in Studio B…all natural light on a sunny day…

“HIBERNUS” EXHIBITION AT GALERIE BMG IN WOODSTOCK, NY

Galerie BMG is pleased to host the exhibition of “Hibernus…a winter study” by Canadian photographer, David Ellingsen
12 Tannery Brook Rd, Woodstock, New York, 12498
845/679-0027
December 4th to January 11
The second solo exhibition this year for my series “Hibernus” begins today at Galerie BMG in Woodstock, NY. I am sad to say I cannot make it in person as I just arrived back from China yesterday, but the owners Bernard and Judi Gerson will of course be there for this evening’s reception to welcome guests on my behalf.
Here’s some early local press from Chronogram Magazine.
Additionally, there is an exhibition notice in the beautiful Photograph Magazine.
From my dealings with them, I must comment on the attention to detail of their production crew. Not often now that you have to send an actual print, which they scan and colour match.
First class all the way.
MODERN PHOTOGRAPHY
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.”
