About

Hi, I’m Jon.

I’ve been in business since 2015, and in glasses since 1992. I’m told my superpower is helping people feel seen and special. That’s certainly my intent in photography. I enjoy finding out who you are, whether our time together is brief or extensive. The images we create are a journal of that process.

I despise having my own photo taken, so I know how precious it can be to capture an image that makes you say ‘Oh, you know, I actually don’t hate that. I might even like it.’ In an individual portrait or an event with a thousand attendees, my priority is the comfort of whomever I’m photographing.

My clients include Ballet BC, Kidd Pivot / Crystal Pite, BCIT, Canada’s National Ballet School, Arts Umbrella, Dance//Novella, Nova Dance, VGH + UBC Hospital Foundation, the Contemporary Art Gallery (CAG), Surrey Art Gallery, the Arts Club, ArtStarts, Kiwanis Music Festival, Music in the Morning, Luminous Elephant Studios, Family Services of Greater Vancouver, A Better Life Foundation, Restore Human, Diyan Achjadi, Wood & Harrison, Laara Sadiq, Chelene Knight, Justine Chambers, Paige Gratland & Sam McWilliams, Alexis Fletcher, Tianna Barton, and countless professional and private individuals.

Land back. Black lives matter. Trans rights are human rights. Love is love.

Four Eyes is a registered, licensed business. I’m accountable for my work. I charge in Canadian dollars, invoice via email, and accept payment by e-transfer, credit card, or business cheque. For services in excess of $1000, and upon request, I use a written contract to ensure clarity and agreement on job details, and to protect both our interests in case of a misunderstanding or force majeure. To date I have encountered no disputes.

I offer a 15% discount to registered non-profit and charitable organizations.

I welcome clientele from all walks of life, and decide who I work for based on character and chemistry. I decline service only to assholes: namely anyone who persists in bigoted, unsafe, or illicit behaviour, or who tries to haggle or make demands outside the scope of our agreement.
