What's new from BC Brit
Behind The Mask
I've launched a new personal project. I have an interest in humans, what makes us tick, what drives our behaviours, and why we sometimes work against our own best interests. I wanted to capture moments when, despite wanting to mask our emotions and feelings, we were not able to completely hide what was happening in...Continue reading→
Anastasia’s Story
“Looking at the sun set over the mountains. Closely followed by how easy it is to split a bill, the skytrain and the libraries.” I finally met up with Anastasia for our photoshoot on a late summer evening on the North Shore. We’d originally aimed to get a sunset session on a local Sky Train...Continue reading→
Katie’s Story
“It's beauty. Every time I fly into the city, I see the mountains and instantly know that I'm home.” Moving tale Katie arrived in Canada in 2011, and loves Burnaby Central Park , an oasis of tranquillity surrounded by a bustling urban environment and that’s where we met for our photo session and conversation. Was...Continue reading→
Richie’s Story
“People seem to prioritise their work-life balance whereas in London the focus is on work and building a career. In London, it feels very easy to get sucked into the hamster wheel of life where nothing changes.” Being here It was back to shooting in the natural environment as Richie is definitely an outdoor person....Continue reading→
Lissy’s Story
“I knew I wanted to be here from that first trip. The landscape, the people, the lifestyle blew me away.” At times, Vancouver seems to be all about the natural environment. I met Lissy for her photoshoot in Gastown. I really appreciated that Lissy wanted to steer clear of the tourist parts of the area...Continue reading→
Gemma’s Story
“For me, it was definitely based on instinct. I can’t really explain it but I just felt like I needed to be here.” Being here I met with Gemma on a cold evening on Granville Island, She loves the vibe of the place as well as the views. As with all my Brits in Vancouver...Continue reading→
Eli’s Story
“The access to true wilderness. There are areas nearby which are a multi-day strenuous hike away, not accessible by road or boat.” Another Brit in Vancouver, another location. I met with Eli at Lynn Canyon in North Vancouver. Disc World Eli moved to Vancouver just over five years ago for possibly the most unusual reason;...Continue reading→
Shayna’s story
With a love of mountains, oceans and forests, Vancouver had a natural pull for Shayna. I met Shayna at one of her special places, Acadia Beach within Pacific Spirit Park. It’s a place that showcased the best thing about being in Vancouver for her; access to water, forests and mountains. Not wanting to assume anything...Continue reading→
Brits in Vancouver – Adventures in Time and Place
It was a natural link and I was intrigued. I wanted to know more about what it was to be British and live in the Metro Vancouver area. Towards the end of last year, I photographed Chris. He’d put a call out on a Facebook group I’d recently joined for a photographer as he was...Continue reading→

Strolling around Stanley Park
It was great weather over the weekend so we managed to fit in a couple of walks around Stanley Park. It’s a fabulous place to unwind with a sea wall footpath and a separate cycle/blade path as well. Some memorable views (excluding the sulphur heap). Stanley Park’s history goes back to the early days of...Continue reading→
Lunch at Lilly’s
If you’re ever downtown at Nelson and Howe, drop in to Lilly’s for lunch. Lesley and I had a couple of delicious sandwiches there. The salmon burger and tuna melt are highly recommended.
Vancouver views
Vancouver is a wonderful city, not just for the lifestyle but also the landscape. Okay, these images are not of the open spaces that Canada has plenty of, but I find the views impressive. Just click on the thumbnail to view a larger image. These images were taken with the Nokia phone rather than a...Continue reading→
Life in Transit
One of the must’s for our rental accommodation was to be close to a SkyTrain station. As we’re without a car at the moment, public transport (Transit) is our means of getting around the city. I’ve become a great fan of SkyTrain. It’s a fast and frequent light railway that also affords some pretty good...Continue reading→
