Two photographers with web and graphic design backgrounds created successful photography careers

 

 

As we near the end of the fifth season of Adorama's "Through the Lens," Sal D'Alia and his team have released a pair of new episodes. The docu-series is focused on Canadian photographers this year, amateur and professional alike, who are making their marks in their respective genres of photography. We've thus far seen nature and landscape photographers, portraiture artists, street shooters and even a food photographer. In the two episodes seen below, the focus is on a portrait and commercial photographer and a pet photographer.

First up is Naskademini. He is a portraiture photographer was born and raised in Montreal to Caribbean parents. His fascination with photography began actually through music by looking at the album covers for various musicians. His background is web design and clients who wanted web design also typically wanted photos. Naskademini wanted to become a one-stop shop and started capturing images for clients as well.

Moving from photographing people to photographing animals, we now look at photographer Andrew Knapp. Knapp lives in Vancouver although he is originally from Sudbury, Ontario. Like Naskademini and others we've seen so far in this latest season of "Through the Lens," Knapp's background is originally with graphic design. What makes Knapp's work distinct is how he blends beautiful nature scenes with his border collie and "best buddy," Momo. Check Knapp and Momo out in action below.

Stay tuned to Imaging Resource for the remaining episodes of "Through the Lens."
