KEEP IT POSITIVE
Look, I’m committed to quality shots, as you know. Right now, with social distancing in place, we can’t shoot on site. But video communication is still more powerful.

Here is a really special offer for you to help you communicate during these times.
Step 1: Purchase the offer
Step 2: Send your logo and selfie video
Step 3: You will receive the video within 48 hours of sending your selfie video (let us know if you need it sooner!)

Guest Post – A Client’s Perspective on working with DSM
Over the course of an afternoon, David captured incredible drone shots of our property, wide-angled views of our interior living space, and intimate portraits of our family as a whole.

Read MoreThe Beauty of Black and White
Renowned Canadian photojournalist Ted Grant once said, “When you photograph people in colour, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their souls.” There is something undeniably captivating about black and white photo and film. In one way, it is a return to simplicity; to the basic roots of photography itself.

Chris Neil: The Making of a Star’s Documentary
When the news of Chris Neil’s departure from the Ottawa Senators hit the hockey world last week, I, like many others, took notice. For me, this story had a personal impact. Up until quite recently, I knew very little about NHL hockey, let alone Chris Neil. But that all changed when I was contracted by S-Media to film and edit a special documentary about Neil’s career, specifically the major milestone of 1000 NHL games played in a Senator’s jersey.
