Wheelchair Fencing

Wheelchair Fencing by Montreal Photojournalist Allen McEachern

In the early days of my career I was working to become an established photojournalists. Sports. sports, and more sports. I was invited to photograph a Defi Sportif event in Montreal. Prior to attending I was unaware of the sport of wheelchair fencing. Basically, the two combatants are seated in their respective wheelchairs which are then clipped into a track that hold them in place. All of the moves the athletes make are pretty much upper body. I was captivated by the speed and ferocity of the bouts. I found the frame you see above. and early and longstanding favourite of my sports photography portfolio.

Sir Richard Branson was one of a wealth of speakers attending C2 Montreal in 2013. Being in the room, C2 as my client. This is why photographers know so much!

Caribou of Newfoundland and Labrador

This image was created along The Northern Traverse (formerly the North Rim) in Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland and Labrador. The Northern Traverse is a mountain plateau around the Western Brook Pond fjord. The area is home to a Woodland Caribou herd. A species at threat throughout most of Canada, endangered in some regions.

LAURENTIAN LANSCAPE

in , ,

I created this image while working with La Ville de Labelle, Quebec. They required some strong images showcasing the historic and rugged beauty of the Rouge River Valley. LAURENTIAN LANDSCAPE is part of my ongoing archive documenting the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec.

MONTREAL AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY

in ,

I had the pleasure of helicopter flight yesterday over Montreal. The mandate was to created a series of images showing the project development stages of various publicly funded infrastructure sites. Respecting my client, I offer you instead a few of my out takes from the flight. (Out-takes: images I create for my own interests)

C2 Montreal [RE] Imagined in a Covid World

in ,

C2 Montreal 2021 wrapped yesterday at Tohu. I was happy to be back with the C2 team and working alongside so many creative collaborators. After the loss of C2, 2020, due to Covid, I was curious to see how the event would unfold this year. C2 Montreal ran their iconic event on a smaller, [RE] imagined scale. This allowed them to test out their new "hybrid" event format, which combines both live in person with remote via screen participations. One conference I photographed just had three screens with people all interacting in conversation. It was bizarre but still delivered lively content. Many attendees participated on-line as well due to restricted in person places. All said, it was different, but still worked. Here are some of my favourite images from the three days.

Urban Mobility - A 3 Season Corporate Stock Shoot for the ARTM

in ,

During the Summer, Autumn, and Winter of 2017, I had the great pleasure and honour of creating a corporate image bank for the then newly formed Autorité Régionale de Transport Métropolitain (ARTM). This one mother agency consolidated 35 separate transportation agencies in to one large company. With no existing image licenses under the new corporate identity, the ARTM hired me to create a body of work which they could draw upon for their marketing and communications. All of the images that I created were shot on location, were not staged, and had to be free from identifiable people and company logos. This is exactly my wheelhouse. The main themes were interconnectedness, urban mobility, active communities, and usability. Here are few of my favourites from the 1200 images I submitted to them.

Movin'On 2018 by Michelin - My Top Five Images

in , ,

Last week Montreal hosted the 21st edition of Michelin's conference on global mobility - Movin'On. This three day event is produced by C2 Montreal. Movin'on brings global leaders in the transportation industry together for dynamic talks and networking activities. My role is to capture images of all the main speakers. My images are used for media hand outs, social media, and of course, by Michelin in their marketing and promotion efforts. Here are my top 5 images selected from over 15000 captures.

Photo Content for Small Business Marketing

in , ,

By Allen McEachern.

Content is king and it is everywhere. Content marketing is essential for small business to be found in today's digital market place. Our clients, new, existing, and potential, all interact with content across a multitude of platforms - Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, our websites, blog posts, search engines, and the list goes on... Adding strong visual content to our marking mix can dramatically enhance the chances of being found by clients, and more importantly remembered; or even better, having our content shared. 

Small business owners can use photography to their benefit. Here is a great example. Haricot Traiteur in Montreal has hired me a few times now to create content for their marketing. In one day we created multiple images that were used throughout a six month period - Facebook posts, portfolio updates, email marketing etc.

One day of photography = six months of content. Do you want to learn more about how photography can help your business be found, be remembered? Contact me to find out how I can help you. Follow me on Instagram to see how I am helping small businesses become discoverable.

By Allen McEachern.

During the dark winter days of January I was engaged by Canada's 100 Best Restaurants Magazine to complete an assignment to cover restaurants in Montreal and area for inclusion in this year's publication. My mandate was to create a mix of editorial style images of food, dinning room interiors, and portraits. I had the great pleasure of meeting and working with some of the most front facing culinary professionals in Montreal. The final ranking results are in, the winners announced, and my photos are live and published. Here are a few of my favourite shots and links to their position on Canada's 100 Best Restaurants.
