AD PHOTOGRAPHY

by Greg Fulmes

On assignment for numerous publications over the years I have had the good fortune to photograph many, many incredible people. Some famous, some not so much. But everyone has been a moment to remember…Christopher Hitchens, who greeted us at the door of his hotel room bleary eyed and in his bath robe, having flown in from London mere hours before...we woke him up. I photographed him while we waited for room service to bring coffee…Jim Kinnear, founding member of the Glencoe…we chatted about drivers and short games…he offered me tips that unfortunately never helped my crappy golf game….Jacques Demers who was on a tour promoting literacy…it was an honour to spend a glorious day in the studio with him surrounded by young people…Brenda, an oncology nurse, cuddling Jade, a young cancer patient. Little did I know at the time that, a few years later, Brenda would also care for my daughter Carly when she was diagnosed with cancer…
