Calgary and Alberta Unit Stills Photography

Calgary Unit Stills Photographer for Film & Television + BTS Behind the Scenes Photography

With nearly 20 years of professional photography experience and extensive on-set work in film and television, I offer unit stills photography for productions filming in Calgary and across Alberta. I understand the pace, protocols, and discretion required on a working set — from tight turnarounds and sensitive scenes to seamless collaboration with production teams.

Having spent five years working as a stand-in on full show-runs, I bring a deep understanding of blocking, lighting, continuity, and performance moments — allowing me to anticipate key beats and capture authentic, story-driven stills without disrupting the flow of production. I’ve since transitioned into shooting unit stills on smaller productions and continue to expand my work in this space.

What I Deliver

High-quality unit stills for film & television

Behind-the-scenes photography

Promotional stills for marketing, press, and social media

Continuity-aware coverage with a cinematic eye

Professional, set-ready workflow with a full stills kit (2xmirrorless Canon Full Frame + L Series)

Why Productions Choose Me

I combine the instincts of a seasoned wedding and editorial photographer with real, hands-on on-set experience. I’m comfortable working long days, adapting quickly, and capturing compelling imagery under changing lighting and time constraints — all while respecting the hierarchy and rhythm of a professional set.

Based in Calgary, I’m available for local and traveling productions, indie films, series, and commercial projects looking for a reliable Calgary unit stills photographer who understands both storytelling and production realities.
