STILLS

Commercial photography, where we began this journey, and still one of the cornerstones of our business.

Whether it’s your people, a particular place, or your product or service, we have the expertise to make them look their best.

In the office, or out on location, we are comfortable with whatever situation is presented to us. We have photographed countless numbers of executives as well as the technicians out on the rig floor, or knee deep in mud.

Many of our projects require pre-planning, travel arrangements, safety and equipment considerations, and we are good with this as well.

Years of experience in locations and conditions that cover anything you can imagine have prepared us for the next project.

Something that we always plan for – Murphy’s law is alive and well regardless of technology and this modern era.

MEGA PROJECTS

Heartland Transmission Project

An example of one of the big projects we covered over a lengthly contract period. A great project from a learning perspective and experience we can take to the next project.

A massive transmission powerline project in central Alberta that upgraded the electrical grid from the Wabamun power plants to areas surrounding the city of Edmonton, and north east.

We spent over a year on this project through all 4 seasons and any type of weather. There was one day in December that we were working and it was the coldest place on Earth. It was a logistical challenge, as well as a personal challenge to stay focused, organized and to give it 100% each and every day. We loved the project and would do something like this again in a heartbeat!

We were kept busy driving through central Alberta following GPS coordinates to various proposed right of ways for the transmission power line. At each of the sites we were required to shoot a series of photos that would be later used to create a panoramic image of the future right of way.

Back at the office, all the images were combined into creating panorama images that were often approaching 180 degrees in coverage. The original raw files were captured to a PhaseOne digital back on a Hasselblad system which provided the highest quality files to work with. As a result, the working files to create these panoramic images were 100’s of MB in size.

Our 3D artist was busy building the various transmission towers using drawings as a guide and once completed these were combined with the panoramic images.

The final products were photo realistic images of the future transmission line at various locations along the right of way. As a finishing touch, weighted electrical lines and accessories were added to the scenes.

SW240 Transmission Line Project

Nine months, 10,000+ kilometers, 4TB’s of video and photos and one heck of an experience! Following the construction of a transmission line from Pincher Creek, Alberta to Lethbridge, Alberta. A tremendous learning experience that will help us plan any future projects of similar size and scope. See our motion page for some video from this project.
