I'm Jarrell, the photographer and drone operator behind Elemental Photography, which I founded in 2011.   That is me on the couch with my mug that says "Wake up and be awesome" I try, some days are better than others.  

 

As a commercial photographer, I focus on capturing the built environment, from buildings and infrastructure to the businesses that drive them. I create purposeful imagery for business branding, marketing, architecture portfolios, and project documentation, ensuring the visuals align with the client's business needs.

 

My architectural work emphasizes clean lines, light, warmth, and functionality, inspired by familiar, cozy spaces.  For people photography, I lean toward darker tones, negative space, and small color pops, letting the subject's needs shape the outcome.

​

I am based in Halifax, Nova Scotia.  Originally from Vancouver Island and raised in South Africa, I have a background in geo-spatial data science, satellite imagery and project management. I have two Master’s degrees, a PMI certification, and I am licensed to fly drones. I’m known for a strong work ethic and for delivering high-quality results on time and on budget at a competitive rate. My clients often win awards, and I'm proud to play a role in documenting their success.
