Tourism, Destination & City Activation Event Photography in Vancouver, BC
Place-making visuals that drive visitation
Tourism activations work when audiences see themselves in the city. We create human-scale images—laughing friends, street food in hand, live music in the square—anchored with neighbourhood context so your audience can picture the experience. Our deliverables drop straight into destination websites, paid social, OOH mockups, and PR.
Coverage designed for DMOs and city partners
Hero scenes: wide context with crowd vibe and recognizable landmarks that read instantly as Vancouver.
People & participation: candid groups, families, creators—always consent-forward and flattering.
Programming & stages: performances, demos, kid zones, and maker showcases that communicate depth.
Local flavour: street vendors, murals, architecture, cafés, and night ambience that say “this is the neighbourhood.”
Partner visibility: sponsor flags, city signage, and brand integrations captured logo-readable (without turning every frame into an ad).
Video for multi-channel tourism
Add 15–30s vertical reels for TikTok/IG, 60–90s hype edits for paid, and muted versions for OOH motion placements. We can capture quick vox-pop soundbites (why people came, what they loved) to add credibility.
Lighting, colour & authenticity
We avoid over-editing. Expect true colour, natural skin tones, and clean contrast that translates across print and web. If the weather turns, we lean into it—umbrellas, reflections, and moody waterfronts are part of the Vancouver story.
Turnaround & usage
Need same-day highlights? We can supply while your activation is live. Full edited galleries follow with licensing written for PR, social, partner decks, and destination marketing.
