Who would think that two of my friends here in Yellowknife would make it into the BIG Times as magazine models, let alone me shooting the commercial campaign ad on top of it as to be printed in a national magazine ad for Columbia Banks, I sure didn't.

The world wide web has opened many new doors and adventures for us northerners and as one of those opportunities, I had the chance to submit  a few images as one of only five photographers worldwide to shoot for this ad campaign.

It was a fun and learning experience for me and both of my friends took a few minutes out of their busy work day to allow me to shoot them on location.

Both images were capture at two separate offices and then edited together by me for my rendition of the needed image concept.

Columbia Banks wanted a picture that showed a Big Banker dropping a little customers (Business Man) into a box as if he was going to store him away on a self.

The Columbia Bank ad goal to invite the smaller businesses to their new personal banking services.

The finished ad supposedly looked like this and was printed somewhere in the USA, I'm still looking a for copy of it myself. Talk about your fifteen minutes of fame, this was mine.
