Ted has deep roots in both Vancouver and visual media. Born and educated here, Ted purchased the former Lew Weekes Photo in 1984. Ted had the good fortune to serve an apprenticeship with Lew, a consummate large format black & white photographer.

Grounded in classical techniques and equipment but with an eye to the future, Ted began to reinvent the business. New equipment, new films, new processes, new technologies... As his tools and techniques changed so did the variety and volume of his clientelle.

Ted's reputation as a superb craftsman inevitably caught the attention of others for whom fidelity in visual media is critical: artists, artisans, designers, illustrators — the entire spectrum of creative professionals. It's a natural alliance — Ted's unrelenting commitment to accurate photographic depiction, and his clients' need to see their works represented in their true light.

It's been two years since Ted changed Weekes to image this. But the really important change started almost 20 years ago when the master of one generation passed his art to the next. And therefore one thing hasn't changed at all: first in Lew's hands and now in Ted's, the line between the art of photography and photography of art cannot be drawn.
