let's get to know each other
Hi - I'm Vic Kirby
I was born in England, into a Kodak family, where all the men before me (and one brother) worked for the photographic giant. It was rumored that they bled yellow and red, the Kodak trademark colours …
… and the blood still runs strong. Photography, for me, is a passion.
I am based in Calgary, Alberta.
“In every man’s heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty.”
— Christopher Morley
My goal is to find the essence of the subject and bring that to light in a photograph
The process of creation is a dance in itself, requiring aligned vision, coordination and connection with the subject, on top of technical skills – all to be done in such a way as it seems effortless, and still produce results that bring magic to our world.
I want you to enjoy the session - and to love the results!
I don't use a sterile studio with backdrops and managed lights - I like to work with the light that happens on the day, and get inspired by the surroundings we are in.
If you haven't had a formal session before - don't fret! You'll find me patient and friendly. I'll help you overcome your nerves and find poses that will bring out the real you.
And if you are experienced in modelling for the camera, I'm happy to work as a team to leverage off of our individual ideas.
“A portrait is not made in the camera but on either side of it.”
– Edward Steichen
Let us work together to capture the real you!
