Allan Cole Roberts bio picture

About

My name is Allan Cole Roberts, but 99.9% of the time, I'm refered to as Cole. Photography is something I have always been involved with, and that is due mostly to my mother, April. She's a heck of a photographer and is the one who planted the bug in my ear to pursue it as a profession.

People are my favourite muses, and I primarily do portrait photography. Along with this, I do weddings and commercial photography.

I am based out of Vancouver although I am a travel nut and don't mind taking jobs on that invovle hitting the road. My partner for projects is Jakob Granqvist, so if you book me for anything, then you'll get the both of us snapping away pictures. He looks like Brad Pitt, so he's a good guy to have along.

Equipment-wise, I'm a Nikon fan. Outside of photography, I'm a hockey fella' who had an interesting junior career and was suitcased all over the place. After hockey, I completed a masters degree in business over in Sweden, which is where I met my lovely girlfriend Therese (whom I coaxed over to Vancouver from her hometown of Söderhamn, Sweden).

Kris Krug

For my money, Kris Krug is a talented photographer in Vancouver. Without getting into a long-winded ass-kissing explanation into the reasons why, I’ll say this: He’s a brilliant social-media entrepreneur that combines his signature talent (photography) with an unrelenting media approach that results in an incredible breadth of exposure for his material.
I’m bringing this...

kk+ - *blush* wow thx for the props. FWIW, i really love your stuff too. especially the outdoorsy great northern bc photos! ps. where'd ya find that gastown garbage dumpster photo? golden oldie! :)September 30, 2009 - 19:59

Cole - You'll never know where the dumpster is MUHAHA ( maniacal laugh! )! No, it's on the direct opposite side of the building from the entrance to the Irish Heather. I really wish I had a different (wide angle!) lens for this picture actually because there were two more dumpsters that would have made this picture more interesting. Anyways, thanks for the comment and for making kick ass work! Going hunting soon in the great white north there and can't wait to fill up every memory card I have with pictures!September 30, 2009 - 20:40

Salty Tongue

The Salty Tongue is the best café in Gastown. I like the super long table inside of it, how the coffee is so strong your vibrating when you leave, and the lady (who must be the owner?) who works there always calls you ’sweety’ or ‘love’ or ‘darling’ or something else that’s warm and cuddly....

The Dark Days

A generic picture of cool lights on a bridge! Whoop dee doo! I can hear all the critiques! But! I posted this picture for a reason.
This picture was taken at 7,46 PM on Cambie Bridge. Dark eh? Well something I never really thought about growing up in Canada was the solstice that takes place...

Happy Monday

OK! So been buzzing around our quaint little downtown and three little things popped into the ol’noggin’.
1. Whoever decides ‘good graffiti’ versus ‘bad graffiti’ in the city need to cruise over the Stadium Skytrain station and declare this debacle ‘bad graffiti’. Then get rid of it (click here for ‘good graffiti’).

Yes, bleeding hearts,...

New Alley Art

Remember me blubbering about that cool doorway that got painted over (this one)? Well I guess it’s not such a bad thing when it eventually gets replaced by way better stuff.
We were out cruising around the allies today and came across a wicked native lady who was doing this whole new wall of awesomeness. Talk...

Lorrie Prothero - Funny - When you lose a door, a wall gets painted. Well, it was funny when I thought of it. I'm excited for you that you've found a new graffiti art background. Looking forward to a whole new series.September 28, 2009 - 09:28
