HBC Legacy Book


Earlier this year the Watchmen Portraits book got the attention of the Toronto-based Arcade Agency that asked me to shoot portraits for their client The Hudson Bay Company. I flew to Toronto for the day and made portraits of various Canadian athletes in the official Canadian Olympic clothing collection.

I recreated daylight in the studio by bouncing strobes off three twelve-foot wide floor-to-ceiling white seamlesses. It worked pretty well. The client was happy.

Arcade's Facebook page has the whole book on display.


And here's an iPhone shot of some of those same images printed billboard-size outside the Hudson Bay store in Vancouver. It's kinda cool being here while these are up.

Make pictures.

Very cool Clay. Would love to see that set up and it must be an awesome feeling to see your commercial work up on display and in such grandness too.

Wow! That must be rather satisfying, even more so in person. There are places that make bags out of those ad banners after they're no longer needed. Maybe you can get a bag made of of one?
