1826 & ATCO Blue Flame Kitchen

Studio 1826 once again had the opportunity to work with ATCO Blue Flame Kitchen for their 2012 Holiday Cookbook and trust us when we say... It'll be worth the wait!

Working with the ever talented food stylist Sue Spicer we shot a wide variety of food and (of course) we got a chance to 'sample' everything that came in front of the lens. Needless to say everything was delicious! We shot on location at the great Blue Flame Kitchen facility and this time we also had the privilege of hosting everyone in our studio.

Keep an eye out for the cookbook coming this fall.  If you want to have a look at what we've done in the past, swing by the ATCO Blue Flame Kitchen in downtown Calgary and take a peek at their amazing collection of cookbooks or have a look at our portfolio online.

First day: Getting set up.

The best quiche on the planet.

Day three: Our turn to be the hosts.

CAPIC Speed Portfolio

Last night the CAPIC Praire Chapter hosted a great get together of photographers, creative directors, art directors and the like in a new take on speed dating which they called: Speed Portfolio.

Each photographer received 6(ish) minutes with a creative mind to showcase and pitch their work then rotated to the next. Eleven creatives in total from agencies such as WAX, MacLaren McCann, Trigger, Foundry, Venture and more.

Very intense.

It was an absolute blast and we met tons of great people. Looking forward to collaborating with a lot of them in the future.

Have look and see if you recognize anyone.

1826 & Brookfield Homes

Studio 1826 recently worked with Brookfield Homes, shooting still & motion for one of their latest developments: Mosaic Mirage in McKenzie Towne.

Brookfield Homes is active in seven vibrant new home markets in Canada and the United States, including Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and Washington D.C. Brookfield Homes offers exceptional quality residences for every buyer, from first-time purchasers to the move-up market.

Speaking of first-time purchasers, Olaf (and his fiancé, Steph) just bought one. They're that good.

Stay tuned for a look at the first video from the project.

In the mean time, here are some of the shots from the shoot and it just so happens to be of the unit they bought: The Olive.

1826 & TAG

Ever laugh so hard you pee'd your pants? Even just a little?

Well that's the concept behind the Hotel Blackfoot Laugh Shop campaign by Art Director Andrew Colvin over at TAG.

Shot on location at Hotel Blackfoot. Special thanks to the Model-Who-Shall-Remain-Nameless for allowing us... complete access. Needless to say, there were some awkward moments.

Enjoy.

It's Alive!

Okay, live is more accurate.

Oh, and we're also on the Twitter. Not much right now, but that'll change.
