Quadrophonic Image

Calgary, Alberta, Canada
At Quadrophonic Image my goal is to give you exactly what want in a photo. I see through the lens in a unique manner – I think about the shot, I know how to get it and I capture it. As a trained photojournalist I am able to give you memories that reflect what actually happened. This means no post-processing, no photo-shopping out details, not a lot of poses – just real memories. Pictures taken in your world.
