Myles Marleau
Myles’ infatuation with photography began at a young age while thumbing through zines like Maximum Rocknroll and Thrasher. Always wondering who was behind the lens and how they got such rad shots! That passion has carried with him throughout the years and has helped shape a career shooting everything from live music to landscapes, city streets, products, and more. He’s grateful for where the journey has brought him and for the opportunity to work with world class brands, such as Establishment.
Ben Merrell
Ben Merrell is a photographer and collage-artist based in Calgary. Using techniques like infrared film photography, Ben reveals an alien landscape invisible to the naked eye but always lying just below the surface of our perception.
Ryan Townsend
Ryan is a born and raised Calgarian. He was a Journeyman Steamfitter of 15 years by trade but was looking for an alternative path later on in life that aligned with what he truly loves, which is photography. Since this realization a few years ago he’s dedicated all his spare time to taking photos and being around what he loves most - bands, tattoo shops, people, and the streets of Calgary. Photography has allowed him to incorporate all these things but from a different and creative perspective, giving back to our community of artists and people with pictures that showcase who they are and always were. He hopes his pictures and story show that you don't need to put yourself in a box as a photographer, just keep shooting anything and everything. It's the process that counts the most, and if you love that it will show in your pictures.
