Ethan Callister. Capturing the essence of life through a lens.

Discover the extraordinary in the simplest moments. Let’s document the essence of your everyday life.

I’m Ethan, a lifestyle, portrait, and nature photographer

I pick up my camera to find the beauty in the simplest moments

Photography is an extension of my joie de vivre. I first picked up the camera to catch the small, daily, things in our lives, that we usually ignore. In my opinion, turning these moments into portraits can really show a person's essence. I do that for my life, my friends' lives, and I hope that I can do it for you as well.

 

01.

Fact 1

I was born and raised in Vancouver, so I have a separate passion for photographing streets and architecture.

02.

Fact 2

Sneaking in pictures of my friends when in their element is an old hobby of mine, so portraiture is like second nature to me.

03.

Fact 3

Just like with my photography, I enjoy the simpler things in life - being out and about with friends, good food, and nice views.

04.

Fact 4

I love history, so if we’re out for a city session you will get a complimentary tour guide to distract you from the camera!

Ethan's Urban Session is probably the most fun I've ever had while someone was taking pictures of me. If you're looking to get amazing pictures while going for a fun walk - I definitely recommend this guy!

I always wanted to get professional portraits, but couldn't shake the feeling that I'd be too awkward and shy for anything good to come out of it. I heard about Ethan through some mutual friends, and decided to give it a try. I am very glad I did, because I felt extremely comfortable during the whole process! He really did manage to "catch" me through the camera, with hardly any effort necessary on my part.

It's like getting a Vancouver Tour Guide that also happens to take breathtaking photos of you!

The way Ethan works, you won't even remember being photographed for half of the time, and then will receive images that show a completely new side of yourself!

Working with Ethan feels like the most natural thing to do. The way he combines directing you and catching you in the process results in some of the most amazing pictures you can imagine.
