2024-09-26 17:00 - 18:30 | Beau Photo Shop, 110 - 1401 West 8th Ave, Vancouver, B.C., V6H 1C9, Canada
Alex will talk about his work and show slides of his most recent explorations with new technology in comparison to traditional slides.
Registration is required as seating is limited. Register on Eventbrite – https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/an-evening-with-alex-waterhouse-hayward-at-beau-photo-tickets-1015579394307
Photographically Vancouver is in a privileged position. It has at least 3 working photolabs, several camera stores, and we must not forget that jewel, Beau Photo. It is partly a museum of film cameras; it has the latest available films, plus all kinds of modern digital equipment. And the people working there know their stuff.
In my projection of 6×7 cm Mamiya RB-67 slides, I will be using a Linhof projector with a Leica lens. Those present will have to decide how they compare with digital ones.
A photographer is as good as his last photographs. Using 20th & 21st century technology I will show new stuff made possible with products that I buy at Beau Photo like inkjet transparency material. With my Epson scanner I can convert colour, negs, b+w negs and digital photographs into slides. My projection should be a short one but I will make myself available to answer questions.
The bulk of my slides will be portraits that I have taken in Vancouver since 1977.
Alex Waterhouse-Hayward started as a stills photographer shooting CBC drama and variety shows; but magazines were his passion. Since the late 70s he has shot for almost every magazine and newspaper in Canada, as well as Time, New York Times, Vanity Fair, Stern, the Guardian, Globe & Mail and many more. In 2001, Canada Post issued four rose stamps that he photographed. He has shown at the Simon Patrich Gallery, the Exposure Gallery and the Presentation House (now The Polygon Gallery). For 13 years he taught photography for the Outreach Program of Emily Carr University and has also taught at Focal Point. He is currently collaborating work with Vancouver based Argentine painters Nora Patrich and Juan Manuel Sanchez.

Sandler was awarded two New York Foundation for the Arts fellowships for photography, (1992, 1998), a John Simon Guggenheim Foundation fellowship for Filmmaking, (2006), and a New York State Council on the Arts fellowship for Filmmaking (2009). Sandler worked as a freelance photojournalist for 35 years; his clients included the New York Times, Time Magazine, the Village Voice, The Boston Phoenix, Boston Magazine and The Real Paper (Boston).
Richard has directed and shot eight non-fiction films, including “The Gods of Times Square,”(1999), “Brave New York” (2004) and “Radioactive City,” (2011). Presently, Sandler’s documentary film, “AKA Martha’s Vineyard” is in post production; it recounts the lovely island’s history, told from Wampanoag first nations’ perspectives.

Summer 2024 Analogue Workshops
2024-07-06 08:00 - 2024-08-17 17:00 | Beau Photo Shop, 110 - 1401 West 8th Ave, Vancouver, B.C., V6H 1C9, Canada
The analogue workshops at Beau return for another summer! We will be doing cyanotype printing, cyanotype toning and pinhole workshops this summer, and there is a possibility that a few others will be added. See the descriptions for each process on our blog post, and sign up to secure a spot!
Analogue processes are perfect for those who want to work more slowly and create unique images rather than hurry through image making with digital. We still love digital, but there is something special about making things by hand that analogue processes really embrace. Making an image that you can hold in your hand, hang on a wall or give as a gift is fun and satisfying. The processes we do in the workshops are also rooted in photographic history so we are going really retro with them here! In the workshops, you will learn about the historical uses and see how easy it is to do them on your own. Join us and make images, ask questions, and meet fun people!

The images are never preplanned. The work is always Sci Fi themed.
In October of 2017 I started creating the images. In 6 years I have
managed to create over 800 individual images.
One of my favourite things about creating the images on my mobile
phone is that I can create any time and any place.
Although the images are quite far from traditional photography,

Opening Reception November 24th 4pm-7pm

Photography by Hans Sipma
An exhibition of some of Vancouver’s most famous, and least known bands from the 70’s and 80’s
Hans Sipma began photographing musicians in the 1970’s, often in a borrowed department store studio (first The Bay, later Eaton’s) where by day, he shot everything from fashion to furniture. His after-hours work brought him to the attention of Vancouver talent agents like Bruce Allen and Sam Feldman, and through them, to soon-to-be legends like Bryan Adams, Doug & the Slugs and Trooper. The budgets were small, the hair was big, and digital didn’t exist, so “making it work” took a lot of late nights and a lot of ingenuity. Hans hopes you enjoy this look back at the boys in the bands – some famous, some forgotten, all part of Vancouver music history.

An Urban Wander
2021-04-10 14:00 - 16:30 | Beau Photo Shop, 110 - 1401 West 8th Ave, Vancouver, B.C., V6H 1C9, Canada
Join us and stroll through the streets like the flaneurs of 19th century Paris, but as an active observer, using your camera to record impressions as you come upon them. To stroll is to deliberately move through, and be surrounded by the architecture and inhabitants of the city, but with no specific intention. In this case however, you will interact with you surroundings through your camera.

Strolling as a small group adds another dimension to the urban experience as you exchange ideas with others and move in unexpected directions, opening new doors to the city and offering new inspiration.

Wander – April 10, 2pm – 4:30pm
Exhibition – April 24 – May 15

Try lenses from the rental department on a digital wander, or a roll of Ilford film for your camera on an analogue stroll. Each wanderer will have one image selected for printing to be displayed in an exhibition at the shop. You must register to join us on the walk. See details below on where and when to sign up.

Space is limited for the walks, viewing the exhibition is open to all.

Registration is required for the wander. Register from March 20th to 28th.
Details at www.beauphoto.com/urbanwander

*Walks will follow all provincial health orders in place at the time of the event and are limited to 10 people for each group. There will be one film group and one digital group.
