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.....

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.

Extreme cold does this to paint over time....I love shooting in these abandoned buildings which are harder to find these days . "Just sit there LuLu and give me a look" , was the direction for this picture.

Three shots and we got it ......as simple as that LOL.

This picture I just came across was one I did for a magazine in Toronto. It was a story on the " shadow players" within corporations, organizations and govt. It resonated with me right now as I watched a documentary on the homeless situation in L.A.
There comes a point whereby the actions of those shadow characters isn't so hidden and in actual fact becomes blatant. I thought this particular picture spoke to a lot of things that are going on today. It was shot on a hasselblad, Tri X film pushed to 800 .....nice grain !
