This is a very special photography place in the city. The man who runs it is Randal Kabatoff and…read morewhat he offers is extremely diverse, ranging from the very corporate to the very personal. He is a gifted photographer but also an intuitive creator. I went through an exercise with him for a story I once wrote for a local paper and he created a photo composite based on how I saw myself at the time. We "co-created" the photo through an interview and various photo shoots. In one meeting I jumped on a trampoline in his back yard in my pjs to create a flying effect for a portrait. (I sometimes fly in my dreams over city scapes, and he wanted to capture this in our composite). Back at his studio he combined photographic elements on his computer. He describes the end result as a way of making visible the human spirit which is hidden or lost. It's photography taken to a new level as a tool for self-reflection and possibly healing. Kabatoff does much, much more in his studio. This is one of his passionate side projects. They have mass volumes of stock photos and all sorts of marketing work they do too. His space is also a hub for artists to gather and for workshops.

I have shopped at Vistek on a number of occasions, buying mostly film and photographic paper. My father-in-law is a regular customer of Vistek Edmonton, but since he lives out of town, so I often go there to pick up his item(s). I love stepping into the store - Vistek Edmonton has an impressive display of cameras and lenses, tripods, studio equipment and of course anything in between. Vistek Edmonton has excellent customer service, very knowledgeable staff and a wide range of service. You have the option of shopping in store but of course online. As I visited the store a number of times, I have spotted a number of items which I'm interested in getting in the near furure!! Definitely a go to store with your photography needs.

He gave clear direction without being pushy, which helped me actually feel like myself instead of "posing." The black background headshots turned out clean, classic, and exactly what I was hoping for. The lighting was spot on, and you can really tell he pays attention to the small details that make a photo feel professional and intentional. I walked away genuinely happy with my photos, which doesn't happen often for me. If you're looking for someone who's skilled, thoughtful, and easy to work with, I'd absolutely recommend Daniel Friesen Photography.

Once I finally got in touch with him and went to view my photos, he locked me in his office and made me feel very uncomfortable. He pressured me to pay an absurd amount, which sadly I did because I felt I had no other option. I tried to cancel my order(within 48 hours of the appointment) and asked for a refund, but of course, he never returns his messages. By the time he messaged me back, over a week later, he said it was too late and my order had already been sent to be printed. I was told the edits would be sent to me for approval before printing, and they never were. He claims he sent my photos to another country for printing because no lab in Canada meets his standards.... ya, okay?! I asked for proof that they were sent to another country and of course, nothing has been provided. If you are looking for someone professional, this is not it!
