Alastair Bird was born and raised in Vancouver on the West Coast of Canada. His parents bought him a camera for Christmas when he was a young boy and he hasn’t looked back since.  

In the ensuing years, Alastair has built up a considerable roster of clients including Air Canada, Vancity, BC Hydro, BC Ferries, and Telus, among others. He has also been recognized for his photography in Applied Arts, The Lotus Awards as well as other awards.

Although he is fully comfortable with digital imaging, Alastair loves to shoot film. From his grandfather’s Leica to an old large-format camera he received from a friend, Alastair shoots as much film as he can, but generally only for personal work. He finds the slow pace of film is a great counter-point to the immediacy of digital imaging.

When he isn’t in the studio, Alastair spends as much time as he can in the mountains surrounding Vancouver, with his wife and his two daughters - his muses - who both factor greatly in his work.
