Oakville Commercial Photographer//Oakville Galleries Exhibition

Over the last few years, we’ve pivoted our media company more and more to commercial photography and videography.

One week we might be in our photography studio taking photos of headshot sessions or business branding videos, the next, we might be on-location documenting someone’s small business in action. We love that over the last decade, we’ve done photos and videos for large and small companies, headshots for individuals and corporations, event photography. Our photo and video work takes us all over the province (and country - and sometimes out of the country) and we especially love it when we get to be outside taking photos and videos.

Here is some work we recently did for the Oakville Galleries.

As quoted from the Oakville Galleries’ website:

Exhibition Text: None of This is in My Mind

Kristan Horton presents his endless drawing project as an exhibition. Perpetually extending, this singular work, rendered in black ink on kraft paper, speaks to the primal, meditative, and ritualistic aspects of creation. At the heart of the artist's practice is a philosophy of accumulation. None of This is in My Mind is thus not merely a presentation of a finished product; it is an invitation to witness an ongoing, open-ended process that resists closure. The work is a meditative reflection on labour, materiality, and the negotiation between human agency and external forces. As Frederick Kiesler explored “endless architecture” as the antithesis of modern architecture’s dominance, Horton’s endless drawing suggests alternative thinking to our spectacle-laden world. 

Kristan Horton has a multi-disciplinary practice that includes sculpture, drawing, photography and video. Using layered processes of construction, both material and virtual, he has produced several long-term projects linked conceptually by their serial and episodic structure.  Grounded in rigorous studio research, Horton brings his subjects to life through innovative and experimental approaches to various mediums. He studied at Guelph University and the Ontario College of Art and Design.  He has had an international exhibition career since the late 1990s exhibiting at White Columns, NY; Münchner Kammerspiele, Munich; Glassbox, Paris; ZKM, Karlsruhe; Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, Helsinki; Inter Communications Center, Tokyo; York University Art Gallery; The Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver; Buffalo AKG Art Museum, Buffalo; Salzburger Kunstverein, Austria; Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, Quebec; Alberta Art Gallery, Alberta; SVETOVA 1, Prague, Czech Republic; Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto and The National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa.

Oakville Commercial Photographer//Oakville Galleries, Ship of Tolerance, part 2

As artists, we love doing photography and videography work alongside other creatives.

Here’s another glimpse of a massive project we documented with Oakville Galleries, doing photo and video for one of their exhibitions.

(As quoted from Oakville Galleries’ website): Oakville Galleries presents the exhibition Between Heaven and Earth by Ilya & Emilia Kabakov at both of our gallery locations. The grand opening on Saturday May 31 will feature a concert by young performers, presented in Gairloch Gardens. 

Between Heaven and Earth highlights a number of the artists’ works, including paintings, prints and installations, and spills out into the gardens with several larger artworks. The largest installation is The Ship of Tolerance, a 60-foot long, hand-crafted wooden ship with sails made from children’s paintings, presented lakeside in Gairloch Gardens for one year. Now, marking its 20th anniversary, its first appearance in Canada takes place at a critical time where a crossroads towards a new global order is visible.

In Oakville, over 2,000 children from local schools and diverse community groups have played a part in creating The Ship of Tolerance project to date. These young participants converse together about inclusivity, different cultures, respect and creative ideas of the future, then they create paintings that express their visions of tolerance and how that shapes our collective future. A selection of the resulting paintings are sewn together to create the sail for the ship, while the remaining paintings are displayed in various locations in Oakville.
