Kevin Hogarth

I was thirteen years old when I decided to become a photographer. As a kid I took photography classes and had a lot of fun. I graduated from the Swift Current Comprehensive high school in 1977 and in 1979 I was accepted into the Photographic Technician course at Red River Community College in Winnipeg. I graduated with a certificate in 1980.

In 1980-81, I worked in Swift Current Saskatchewan at CJFB-TV as a video-still photographer. I then worked in Calgary as a photography studio assistant; and in 1982, I moved to Saskatoon and created my own photography business. In 1989, I constructed one of Saskatoon’s largest commercial studios. I incorporated my business in 1996. The City of Saskatoon changed a bylaw, making home-based photography studios legal. In 2011 I sold my commercial studio and have since built a new live/work studio.

Since 1982, I have been a full-time photographer, and have been involved in the motion picture industry as a videographer and a location manager. I was a member of the Directors Guild of Canada and the Saskatchewan Motion Picture Association. Today, I dedicate myself fully to commercial photography. I am presently a member of CARFAC Saskatchewan.

As a photographer I have gained a great deal of experience working out of a low density populated area. The market is too small to specialize exclusively in one style of shooting. I have had my hair fashion images published internationally, produced promotional material for recording artists including The Northern Pikes, The Sheepdogs, and Sam Roberts. I have a creative mind and enjoy working on concepts with advertising agencies. I feel very comfortable shooting product in the studio. National publishing companies use my services to shoot local personalities of interest. I do enjoy the challenge of shooting tourism related images.
