BJ Clayden

My photographic journey began with a box Brownie which was a prize given by my piano teacher for selling the most tickets to a piano recital (at the age of 10). The piano lessons did not continue into adulthood. Photography has.

During a life spent working with performers in theatre, film and dance, running an international marketing business and most recently involvement in the tourism industry, a camera has always been close by.

From actor’s headshots, corporate portraits, productions stills for both theatre and film, sprinkled with a liberal dose of travel photos, my passion for documenting our world persists. I love to see that spark in someone's eyes as we discover a moment together which we can freeze in time.

My photos have been published by the National Film Board of Canada, Health Canada, Geological Survey Canada, Tamahnous Theatre, Canadian Theatre of the Deaf, Highlight Productions, Cinema Canada, Maclean's, and fill the albums of many individuals both in the performing arts, and in the upper levels of the corporate world.

Your story is important and deserves the care and consideration you would expect from someone you allow into your life, even if only briefly.

Lets have some fun together making pictures.
