DAVID ELLINGSEN PHOTOGRAPHY

My agent Gina of THEY Representation Inc. is opening a brand new, beautiful studio here in Vancouver. Sugar Studios is comprised of two separate spaces, one being the best daylight studio I’ve seen in town, and will be available in February. Congratulations on the imminent opening.

Amazing assistant Rob shows us how it's done

Had a great shoot mid-December with DDB for BC Hydro…results posted soon.

During the 2010 Games, BC Hydro will be opening the doors to the BC Hydro Powersmart Village, celebrating the Games in a spirit of conservation and sustainability.

Art Director Daryl Gardiner, Account Supervisor Terra Cochrane and Print Producer Amanda Dring came to the new studio on 7th Ave West for the shoot. Model Lisa C. from Liz Bell Agency supplied enough energy to keep BC Hydro in business for the rest of the winter…jump, jump, jump! Hooray for those little trampolines.

Thanks also to stylist Leila Bani and makeup artist Sonia Leal Serafim from THEY Representation.

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.”
