John Morrison Photographer

John Morrison Photographer Advertising photographer and art director .....Also doing photo workshops locally. My workshops are centered around the spirituality of photography.

I've been a photographer for over 35 years shooting advertising and fashion, music, entertainment, you name it I've shot it; swimsuits to car campaigns. My career spans the late 70's, 80's, 90's and here we are ....still shooting and keeping it edgy and cool. These days I do photography workshops for aspiring photographers as well as makeup artists, models and anyone interested in getting into thi

s exciting rewarding industry be it film or print. As an environmentalist I encourage students to be grounded to the earth rather than technology. I consider imagination to be as important if not more important than the camera you use. My passion now is shooting hair and music ...The way I approach a shoot is from a one on one platform....no board meetings or fences around creative. I'm doing big projects within the rock / metal genre incorporating video and drones but keeping it organic in terms of approach and editing. I enjoy creating and developing a brand and that can be a product, hotel, or an artist. Working with smaller creative teams is more fun that the advertising agency machine. I especially enjoy working with and developing imagery for musicians. Over the years I've won many awards for art direction, annual reports and fashion photography. My fashion photography has been primarily location work although I am as comfortable in studio or in any unfamiliar situation. I believe in getting oneself out of that comfort zone which for me breathes creativity. Each project is an opportunity to push the creative envelope and explore ideas everyone on a shoot brings forth .....hair, makeup, styling, modelling.....

I had an idea to reflect light from a flash head off of a mirror with water sprinkled on it and it worked out not too bad. Where that idea came from,.....no idea . LOL

I've always managed to discover interesting places for photo shoots. Back alleys in gangland L.A. , underpasses in New York, basements in abandoned buildings ....The biggest challenge is keeping all the cables for the lighting clean LOL....But....it's worth it to get out of the studio and deal with whatever one finds in these kinds of cool places.

Leaving the studio one evening, I found these two laying in the alley. Maybe the winds caused them to fall from the massive tree out back. They never got to fly the skies , so I thought at least a portrait of them was at least something. Nature is amazing as is life. There are evil entities, and evil ambassadors for those entities that have no respect whatsoever for life on this planet. To those who do....salute~

Some pictures just come together with an amazing " ease." These folks were super nice people. It was a spur of the moment picture and although just a simple image, I am always moved by the thought that it's a moment preserved in the lives of the people themselves and in mine for having the honor and pleasure of being able to make a picture that has meaning .....documents of our lives . Photography has always been a great thing for me and something that continually inspires me and as well, is a blessing that never gets mundane. I recall my mother saying to my brother and I .... "one of you's is going to get an education, and it isn't going to be him. " I was the " him ". I am much happier and fulfilled by the camera rather than the education whatever that means. LOL

Benji and I do a lot of trail running and hiking so I figured we need to introduce some other activities into our lives . I wasn't sure how he would like canoeing but he hopped in and away we went. More adventures await now that this Swan Lake test pilot was a success and neither of us went overboard. A nice day it was ~

Very eerie while out on the trails this past Sunday looking towards Kalamalka Lake .

It came to my attention last week that Cadilac Bob passed away. I had the pleasure of photographing Bob and hearing about his monumental moments as a musician. Life is all about moments and this shoot was one we both enjoyed.
