Calin Gillespie

Tourism & Commercial Photographer & Videographer

 

Calin dedicated the first decade of his adult life immersed in the study of human psychology & motivation. With both a Bachelor's & Master's degree in psychology and 4 years working in the field at a university, Calin had the question, why can't we combine a deeper understanding of how people think with stunning visual marketing to create life-giving change for businesses and consumers alike. With this goal in mind, Calin stepped away from his field of study, pursuing the dream of becoming a full-time photographer & videographer. In his first few years of going full-time, Calin has worked tirelessly for his clientele, becoming a trusted creator for tourism boards, local companies, & world-renowned brands. However, at the centre of his creative work & profession is always the deeply held belief that good people & relationships should come before everything else.

Lovepreet Romana

Landscape Photographer

My name is Lovepreet Romana and I am a landscape photographer based out of Vancouver, Canada. I grew up in India. I always loved being in nature but I could not travel much in my home country. In 2018 I moved to Canada where my journey began as a traveler. Going on small drives to some natural places awoke the wanderlust in me. I started going on long drives in search of calm natural places.

Since that day I started traveling a lot and a love to capture those moments grew out of it. It was that time when I bought my first beginner DSLR. Time flew and I started spending more time taking pictures and bought a professional mirrorless camera. I kept learning and then decided to turn my passion into a profession.
