1. ADAM BORMAN Alberta / NAIT grad adamborman.com / @bormanadam Why do you love studio work?
Being in the studio allows me to create something out of nothing. It’s a great feeling. Studio photography is much more like painting, compared to shooting on location. Everything done in the studio is a construction. The only limit to what can be created is what you can dream up. Tell us about the image you chose to share with us.
This was an image that I saw in my head a long time before shooting it. Incorporating geometric elements into my images is something I have been doing a lot more recently. I love clean lines and good, simple design.
What have you learned about yourself in studio?
I tend to be too picky about small details. Working to a deadline is important for me, even if it is self-imposed. Otherwise, I spend far too long working on one image. What has been the hardest thing about being a fresh grad? What has been the most rewarding?
The best part about being in school was being surrounded by really cool and creative people every day. It has been difficult to keep the same level of momentum and drive without an immediate support network. Of course, you still all meet for coffee once and awhile, but it is not the same. The most rewarding part is doing real work for real clients in the real world. It’s one thing to shoot something cool for school, but it’s a completely different level doing it for a real client.
2. ZENNA WONG Vancouver / Langara College grad zennawong.com @zennawongphotography Why do you love studio work?
It really allows you to focus on your subject without distractions. I love the feeling of being totally absorbed in my work. Tell us about the image you chose to share with us.
Inspired by Native Shoes, I wanted to create images that blended photography with digital art. I love bold colours and I aim to create clean, dynamic images that walk the line between reality and render. What have you learned about yourself in studio?
I’ve learned that I love working in studio! Prior to attending Langara College, I had mostly shot in outdoor environments. As I spent more time in PhotoED • 17
