Photographer John Morrison is once again inviting aspiring photographers and models to join him for a photo shoot/workshop , this time at Revelstoke Excel Tire’s facility off Highway 23S, on July 29.
“There is a lot of old stuff, piles of tires and rusty metal which will make for great gritty pics,” Morrison said.
John likes using stark, gritty industrial and semi-industrial backdrops for professional photo shoots and he plans to shoot at the tire centre in the Big Eddy most of the day from 1 pm until 7 pm.

His last photo shoot, out at Three Valley Gap yielded a lot of great photos by Morrison and the young photographers who joined him.
Here are a few images from that shoot:
