Clinton Hussey
Food & drink photographers
Clinton Hussey is an award-winning commercial photographer specialising in conceptual, food, still life and, recently, motion. Since 1995, he has been creating distinctive editorial and advertising imagery for brand and magazine clients in his hometown of Vancouver and abroad.
Originally a design student at Vancouver’s Emily Carr College of Art & Design, Clinton stumbled into photography at first accidentally and then with conviction as he fell for its demanding mix of creativity and technical grasp—an intense relationship he recognised from watching his father, a musician, repair his instruments with surgical skill. Though not a musician himself, Clinton has earned both Grammy and Juno nominations for his album cover designs; his photography has won multiple National Magazine Awards, as well honours from Lotus, Applied Arts, D&AD, City & Regional Magazine Association, the Printing Industry of America, Communication Arts, PDN/Nikon, and many others.
Today, Clinton is expanding into video, creating ad campaigns for clients such as Method, Panago, and the Children of the Street Society. When he’s not making pictures, he’s building things, and spending time on the ocean and in the mountains with his wife, Amanda—also a photographer—and their two children.

James Alfred Photography
Interiors & exteriors photographers
James Alfred Photography - BC based artist and photographer.
"Beginning as a multi-disciplinary artist, before eventually entering into a career as a commercial photographer after a stint as a professional retoucher, I have now been working as a commercial architectural photographer across BC since 2006. I love working with passionate designers, and want to help then present their best work with my best visual craftsmanship, using all the tools at my disposal to craft the most complimentary and truthfully representative imagery.
In my commercial work, my default style is usually focused on a natural, ambient light look, which I love for its purity, but I also appreciate being able to push things in creative directions when I can. In my personal work one of the things I am drawn to is photographing abandoned places, which combines my architectural photography with my expressionist sensibilities. I'm excited to be currently working through a series of photos of an abandoned Hawaiian resort being reclaimed by the jungle.
Since 2014 I have been the principal photographer for the Mint Tiny House Company, one of the largest Tiny House manufacturers in the Pacific Northwest. Other clients include Turco Homes & Kalu Interiors, KG Interior Design, Turner Construction, Thibodeau Architecture & Design, Distinct Interiors, Grafton Apparel, Century Group Inc., Seraphim Stoneworks, Positive Space Staging & Design, Kenzi Design House, and Bayside Cabinets."
