Working in the world of content creation for over 15 years, I’m a writer and photographer. While much of my work focuses on my outdoor passions, finding, capturing and telling stories is my true strength. Getting to the heart and soul of the story that needs to be told, whether that’s a tourism offering, an adventurous athlete, brand new gear, or a tall tale of the one that got away, my passion for the work, shows in the finished product.
Commercial
From concept to finished product, in the studio, in the air, or underwater, the more challenging, the more exciting. I’m ready to shoot on location, or right here in Collingwood, ON.
Editorial
Working in an editorial capacity in Canada and throughout the world, ask about my extensive collection of stock photography and adventure stories. Or why don’t we collaborate on something?
Writing
I love telling a good tale. Writing everything from in-depth features, to video scripts and gear reviews, I work with clients and editors to create the content needed to deliver their stories to the right audience.
“Colin is the unicorn of photographers: creative, easy to work with, and prolific. I worked with Colin on a remote mountain river in Naats’ihch’oh National Park Reserve, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Not only was he shooting from sun up to sun down in a place where the sun barely set, he had creative vision, superb technical skills, and let us put him on a live-bait mid-river (for an hour) to get the perfect whitewater paddling shot… If you’re looking for a photographer that will get you results in challenging conditions and do it with humour, Colin’s your guy. I can’t wait to work with him again.”
–Lyn Elliott“Colin’s attention to detail and eye for intriguing stories is matched only by his incredible facial hair and skill on a bicycle. As an editor, he seeks the most engaging content for his readers and as a writer he excels at finding that content. I have worked both for and with Colin and in all cases it has been a pleasure. I hope to work with him again soon, if only to glean some of his laidback energy and witty humour for my own use. I’d plagiarize him any day.”
