Taking a leap into motion.
Exciting news…I took the leap into also offering videography services in the fall of 2023. Better late than never….right ;)
Contrary to what one might think, transitioning from photography into videography is not as simple as just flipping a setting on the camera - although that is of course a fundamental part of the process. But it truly is an entirely different and complex art form.
After watching countless YouTube videos on videography and practicing on putting the lessons into practical use over the summer and early fall, I had the opportunity to put it into real actual use when a corporate client approached me in October to shoot both branding images and a video for their new website.
Considering that this was my first kick at the can, I can confidently say that I am proud of how it turned out. Plus the client was thrilled with the outcome, so mission accomplished!
“Peter was recommended to us for some new photos, headshots and video for our updated website that we are launching. From the start Peter was very professional and easy to work with. He was very detailed and focused on making everything as perfect as could be. The whole team was blown away at how amazing the pictures turned out and how impressed we were with the video. I would recommend Peter to anyone looking for Photography, it will truly exceed all of your expectations!!”
A day with David duChemin.
I recently had the pleasure of working with renowned wildlife photographer and author David duChemin, spending a day photographing him in his element.
Headshots photographed at clients office.
The same client that hired me to shoot the contextual content in the previous post, also hired me to shoot individual portraits of their team members. These were done by setting up a small ‘studio’ in a corner of their office.

Experience transformation
The client wanted a trio of images that illustrated career transformation.
I was commissioned to create a trio of conceptual images for a print ad campaign for Coquitlam Continued Education. CCE provides educational programs for adults looking to upgrade their academic credentials and wanted imagery that illustrated the potential for career transformation made possible for adult students attending their programs. The print campaign ran on buses and at skytrain stations throughout the Vancouver Tri-City area in the fall of 2022.

Disco never dies!
Print ad for award winning Vancouver law firm Miller Titerle + Co. With the world having been on a roller coaster the last couple years, MT+Co. wanted an ad that was fun and carefree and reflected their beliefs in embracing uniqueness and tolerance (and no, they do normally not dress like this). So when Creative Director Mike Catherall from Immersion Creative and I (Peter Holst) were contacted to come up with their next conceptual print ad, we put our heads together and decided that it was time to get groovy, because who doesn’t love disco!
