"One of the pleasures of photography is getting the chance to see new spaces and watch things happen before your eyes. Recently Alex had two backstage passes to amazing places. The first is the Arcteryx Vancouver factory to document the ReGear production space. The campaign was to help launch the new used gear portion of their website, following a used and damaged jacket through analysis, dissection, repair and recreation as a new an unique piece. The brief was to bring a crisp and modern aesthetic, but without taking over the very busy factory lines.

The second project presented is all about local painter Shevy Levy. Over a few months, Alex has been documenting the making of her new collection of abstract oil paintings, visiting her studio, shooting the works in progress and capturing the paintings in other spaces in preparation for a show.

In both instances lighting was unreliable, the factory was filled with old fluorescents, small tungstens, and various LEDs, and the studio was a small dimly lit space with only one window on the far side. Mixing strobes and on camera flashes, Alex worked to bring a consistent aesthetic across the projects that aligned with the creative direction from both clients."

Title: LIGHT WELL

"The light radiating through the brilliantly coloured staircases at the University of British Columbia's Skeena student residence brings an energy to your vertical movement as you rush to or from class."

Alex Waber specialises in fashion and fashion adjecent photography, and it turns out kids wear clothes too. He has photographed adorable tykes from three to 17 years old and their families for brands like Mountain Equipment Co-op, Shaw Communications, and Gymmet Yoga Wear.

Alex works easily with children in a calm and relaxed way. Before going full time as a commercial photographer, he worked teaching photography and dark room work for kids ages eight to 16, and helping out at kid's summer camps as well.

So whether its in studio on on location, Alex is great at getting the poses and laughs and keeping the set a fun place to be.

Living in Canada’s playground, Alex Waber has developed a strong love for nature.

Recent lifestyle projects have brought that to the fore, shooting the trails on Mount Seymour just behind Vancouver and going on a bike trip around Kamloops where Alex had the chance to document the massive destruction by last years' forest fires and the regrowth in the grasslands surrounding them.

Another very exciting project was shooting in the Vancouver Nursery, where most of the plants for Vancouver’s public gardens are grown and maintained. It was a beautiful environment full of soft cool light from white washed windows, textures, lines and of course flowers. His guide, Polly, was calmly closing up the green houses while the walked through.

Alex Waber is having a very creative year. Shooting for clients and working on his own projects, he has been working in studio and on locations around Vancouver, Canada.

Gearing up for the summer months there are plans for more mountain shoots, athletic wear in action and at least a few classic studio sessions.
