Dirk always delivers spectacular results for our company which in turn, keeps clients coming in.  We have won Building Awards which count on his photographs to communicate the quality of our builds to the judges and the public.  We can always count on him to add his artistic insight while being entirely open to our creative vision for the shoot, which makes the experience seamless and enjoyable”

“For my new website and business cards, I was looking for ‘lifestyle’ photos rather than the traditional portrait style. I called Dirk because I was familiar with his work and knew that he would do a great job. What surprised me was that it would be so much fun. We spent a couple of hours taking pictures of me preparing food in the kitchen and then another couple at Piper’s Lagoon. Dirk really made me feel comfortable and did an awesome job of capturing both my love of food and my love of the outdoors.”

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 colleague.”

“As a professional artist in the music industry, I’ve had the opportunity to work with various photographers in the last 10 years. I’ve chosen to work with Dirk for my last four shoots, and will continue to do so for years to come. Why? Three words: Professional, Consistent, and Natural. Dirk is the first Photographer that I have worked with that I feel delivers a comfortable and positive environment as well as fantastic photos! He communicates clearly, and allows me to express naturally. He has a knack for capturing the sincere and honest moments and those are the moments of life that are the most memorable.”

— Rose Reiter, Lion Records

“We enjoyed working with Dirk and the enthusiasm and thoughtfulness he brought to the project. His photographs of the Nanaimo Cruise Ship Terminal project have been instrumental in raising the profile of our architectural firm as well as playing a key part in the building receiving several national & international design awards.”
