Creemore photographer Bryan Davies has released a 2016 calendar full of images of local landmarks, events and faces.
Davies produces a calendar most years but it has been a decade since he published one featuring scenes from Creemore, including Creemore Springs Brewery, the Creemore Log Cabin, the Toronto and North York Hunt’s Ride to Hounds and the Collingwood Street Bridge before it was disassembled last week.
Davies has been photographing Creemore since setting up shop in the village 12 years ago, under the moniker of Bryan Davies Photography.
He has worked in media for more than 50 years, having worked for Kortright Centre for Conservation as the resident nature photographer and multi media specialist.
He said photography has always been his first love, fanned by his grandmother, who bought him a Brownie Hawkeye camera when he was 12 years old.
For the last 14 years he has worked independently doing portraits and taking commercial and editorial assignments for area publications.
“I started out as a nature photographer but I love photographing people,” said Davies.
He is currently working on a book, a collection of 40 images called Exploring the Light, which is coming out in the fall.
Davies is a founding member of the Mad and Noisy Gallery, when it operated as a co-op and where he still shows work on a regular basis.
The 2016 Creemore Calendar sells for $15.95 and is available at the Mad and Noisy Gallery and Curiosity House Books.
