SarapYYC Event / Filipino Food Photography in Calgary
One of my favourite things to shoot is food photography. I see and handle food photography like I would a miniature landscape. With a landscape in nature it’s pretty hard to move a mountain, tree or river to get the shot you want. Moving a plate, fork or knife is effortless in comparison. Waiting for […]

100 Years 100 Faces of the Stampede | Day 1
