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).
“Yeah awesome! I’ll meet you at the corner of Robson and Granville after the Team Canada game! I’ll be the one wearing the red Canada jersey!”
This is a taste of the scene after a team Canada game downtown Vancouver. Just a taste because, well, I was more interested in watching people then actually taking pictures! Quite an awesome gongshow!

The following happened at 7,14PM on the corner of Granville and Robson.
Cole Roberts (guy taking the picture):
“Haha it’s the VPD guy eh! Therese jump in there – you’re getting your picture with him!”
Therese Larsson (girl on the left):
“I have no idea who this nice looking Asian man is and I’m kind of mad right now at Cole for making me stand beside him in a picture”.
Chief Constable Jim Chu (dude on the right):
“Hi, I’m the Chief Constable of the Vancouver Police Department. When I’m not kicking ass and taking names, I’m cheering for team Canada!”

For our convenience, restaurants apply an automatic 18% gratuity onto your bills throughout the duration of the Olympics. Kind of them eh?
The result is godawful service from waiters and waitresses who simply don’t give a shit because they know they’re getting their cushy 18% no matter what.
C’est la vie. The flip side is servers aren’t getting 0% from cheap non-tippers, so I guess this is a double-edged sword. It just sucks for locals who do tip on a regular basis.

Mr Jakob and I have been banging out quite a few photo sessions lately with some awfully lovely folks.
Unfortunately, for the time being all you can see are these sexy legs in a dirty alley.

Every once in a while I take a picture that I know isn’t earth-shakingly good, but I just like it a lot nonetheless. This was one of those times, because for some reason I just love how this man looks. He was outside of the Vancouver Art Gallery while there was an anti-Olympic protest the other day, and he said I could take his picture as long as he didn’t have to look into the camera. So, this was the result.
If only I was a good enough photographer to have found a better angle so that the lady wasn’t viewable haha! C’est la vie…
