LEADS TO MORE COMMISSIONED WORK
IAN ROSS PETTIGREW CANADA
The skills I’ve honed in graphic design have greatly helped my passion for photography, which I have always had an affinity for, even as a child. Working with many professional photographers over the years has taught me many things as well. I have always been captivated by portraits and fashion, which has become the main focus of my recent photography. In the last year I have been lucky to have many published photos, and hope this continues and leads to more commissioned work. My father was my first great inspiration, I guess. He was quite a shutterbug. I still get pretty chuffed when I see one of my photos in a maga-
zine - I don’t think that ever gets old. One of my main goals was making the transition into fashion photography. I was very fortunate to be working with a fantastic Canadian magazine ACF. They took a chance on me and hopefully it’s paid off. Working with some great models and behind the scenes teams makes it all much easier as well. Portraiture and reportage photography are much more of a personal passion, ones that I will never give up. In the future, besides expanding my fashion portfolio, I have some longer term personal projects that I am in the early planning stages.
