“Had a great experience for sure. Very welcoming and made everything feel comfortable. First time to have a business portrait taken by a professional photographer and it was great. Next time I need a professional photographer, no hesitation, it would be Dirk I'll be calling.”

“Dirk and Laura were a blast to work with, fun but very professional. Dirk came for a site visit beforehand and gave me lots of pointers to help me prepare for the shoot. This is my first professional photo shoot for my interior design business, and for me as an individual, and he made the process so easy. I am thrilled with the outcome, the photos will add greatly to my portfolio. I will not hesitate to call upon Dirk in the future and would strongly recommend his services.”

“Having admired Dirk’s work for many years, he was the natural choice when it came time for corporate photographs for our company. Dirk has provided a variety of pictures including showcasing our display suites, documenting grand opening celebrations and both executive and client portraits. Dirk possesses the unique ability to apply his talents to every medium from still life to portraiture to commercial. It is because of his versatility that we choose Dirk, and the work he produced for us is of the highest professional calibre. I would and have recommended Dirk highly to friends and colleagues.”

“I had such a great afternoon of shooting with Dirk and his assistant Laura. Dirk had taken the time to come to my studio the week before (a boat ride from Nanaimo). The resulting photos reflected his great attention to detail, as well as inventive and skillful use of location and light. His professional yet warm manner helped me relax. As a result the photos were not only beautiful but an authentic reflection of me, my work, and my garden studio.”

— Alison Watt

“I contacted Dirk when we needed a Nanaimo photographer to take photos of a local family for an information supplement. Dirk was very responsive to our tight deadlines as well as to our needs to treat our clients with sensitivity. We now have great photos of the family to use for our marketing material and were very pleased with Dirk’s services. If the opportunity arises, we will be happy to work with him again.”
