Photographer: Graham Douglas Ling

Hi my name is Graham but my friends call me G. I am a commercial, lifestyle and portrait photographer (with a healthy dose of landscapes thrown in for good measure) based out of Victoria, BC, Canada.

I was born and raised in Vancouver, where I attended film school and turned that education into the obvious choice of owning and operating a retail clothing shop. The arts were still very prevalent as I dedicated a portion of the store to showcasing local artists, both paintings and photography.

My love for the ocean and wild places brought me to Vancouver Island in 2010. It is a truly incredible location to call home, with both stunning alpine landscapes and some of the finest untouched beaches in Canada or the world. When I'm not out capturing images for clients or personal projects, I can be found chasing sticks with my blue eyed pup Harley or on a constant search for the perfect sushi restaurant with an extensive saké menu.

Photography has been both my calling and my profession for quite some time now. I don't photograph subjects as much as I photograph how they make me feel. Every image I shoot, my aim and my assumption is that perfection is achievable. Anyone with a camera can take a properly exposed photo. My objective with every image I take is to provoke an emotion, a feeling or a memory. I want my images to feel like a song drenched in reverb.
