A camera in hand at age 7... From the age of seven, when his father gave him his first camera, Vincent has never looked back. Photography grew from a hobby…to a passion…to who he is.

Tutoring under some of the masters....His work as a photographer took a back seat to other 'meaningful' employment. He never lost sight of his goal to create his own business. He continued to study and learn more about photography. Trial and error contributed to perfecting technique in those early years. All the while, his own unique style began to emerge.

Wishing to enhance photographic style and technique, Vincent has mentored with and attended working courses held by master photographers. Of particular note and influence are Bud Watson, Freeman Patterson, and Ansel Adams.

Establishing his own business... In 1989 Vince registered his home-based business under the name of Creative Exposure Photography. The move to B.C. has resulted in Vincent re-establishing his business and his excellent reputation throughout Victoria, Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and the lower Mainland B.C.

A team effort....He is not alone in his efforts to make Creative Exposure Photography into a thriving enterprise. At his side is his wife, Gayle. She supports his dream, provides endless hours of administrative work, and operates as his Assistant (as required), mostly in weddings and chaperoning at portrait sittings.

A new face....Kiyomi Itakura is currently mentoring under Vince, learning about photography and the photography business from him and joining us on photo shoots for hands on experience.
