CoPilot Productions: production servicing foreign projects in Canada from coast (Atlantic) to coast (Pacific) to coast (Arctic).

"Canada’s low dollar and amazing production value has continued to help keep us busy in these uncertain inflationary times. Here is a quick look at what we’ve been up to so far this year:

• Five interesting mise-en-situation/fictional corporate films about protecting corporate data for Deloitte.
• Three Audi TVCs and photoshoot combos.
• One awesome three-day photoshoot for a fashion client to highlight Montreal’s European vibe.
• One full episode of an ESPN+ TV show 'PK’s Places'.
• One segment of HBO’s 'Real Sports' with Bryant Gumbel filmed in Winnipeg, Manitoba."

"I am a photographer based in Montreal, specialising in advertising photography and portraiture.

I mainly work with cultural companies like Just for Laughs and various television production companies. I also works with advertising agencies with whom I have done campaigns for the Quebec Government, Volkswagen and McDonald's, among others.

A good image, for me, is the encounter between people — with all their stories and their humanity — and light. I always try to have, as a subtext, the vulnerability of people in my images. I don't like fixed situations.

The main challenge is to harmonise all those things to leave room for the story I want to tell with the photo; whether through a simple portrait or a complex staging, the story, for me, is always the most important. And it is created by adding the experience, talent and passion of each person in the team."

He is passionate about the built environment and truly believes that the best way to portray architecture and interiors is by showcasing spaces in use with people interacting with their surroundings.

From moody twilight exteriors to crisp and vibrant interiors, light is at the core of his work to capture the client’s vision.

Christophe’s client list includes local businesses as well as some of the most eminent architects, interior design firms, land developers and construction companies in Canada, such as PCL Construction, Stantec, IBI Group, Dialog, SGH Design Partners and Oxford Properties Group.

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 is not making pictures, he is building things, and spending time on the ocean and in the mountains with his wife, Amanda—also a photographer—and their two children.

Based in Toronto, Canada, Jeffrey Carlson is a highly accomplished commercial photographer and director. He shares his home with his wife Tara, their son Rhys, and their beloved Texas Heeler companion named Lemon.

Jeffrey's grounded nature and exceptional technical expertise inspire confidence in every production he takes on. From the initial stages of planning to the final delivery, he thrives on collaborative work with creative teams, always striving to surpass the expectations of his clients.

What fuels Jeffrey's passion is his ability to bring together multidisciplinary crews, blending their diverse talents to produce breathtaking content across various platforms. Whether it's still photography, video production, or exploring emerging media formats, Jeffrey's expertise shines through, consistently delivering results that captivate and engage audiences.
