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).
Today’s kind of a cool day for Mr. Granqvist and myself as we’ve created our new site and business. Nordica Photography.
If you follow our sites then you likely know that we work together on photography projects. However, being ‘separate entities’ with two different sites may be confusing, so we put our heads together and...
