About

Bailward Photography

Bailward Photography is a contract photography company in the lower mainland of British Columbia, Canada specializing in landscapes, portraits, and weddings. My style is unique within this area and I strive to create images that make people sit back and take notice.

I create the best quality images possible, and have fun doing it.

My goal is to further my artistic endeavors while contributing to the community at large through events and shows, as well as making myself available for contract work for portraits and weddings.

Equipment

It took me a while into my hobby as a photographer to realize that equipment really doesn’t matter.  Some of the most iconic images you’ve ever seen were shot on black and white film with a point and shoot, and no one thinks “you know, there’s some edge sharpness fall off, maybe this lens has a back-focus problem”.  However, the first SLR I got my hands on was a Pentax P30T, a simple, manual only SLR.  Following that was the Pentax *ist-D (one of the first “affordable” digital SLRs), and more recently, the Pentax K20D. I shoot with a variety of lenses and filters, my favorite currently being the DA 16-45/4 for it’s sharpness and versatility (though a bit longer zoom would be nice).
