Hailing from Edmonton, Alberta, Dorian spent four years modelling internationally with Mode Models and came back to Alberta to continue modelling locally while discovering his passion for photography. Dorian believes his experience in the hospitality industry has helped propel his career in photography because of a common focus on creating a comfortable environment and an excellent end product.
Dorian moved to Calgary near the end of 2021 to join Profile Popup and do more of what he loves: meeting and connecting with people while creating images they will cherish. Dorian strives to build a company and create an atmosphere where everyone can feel welcome and comfortable while getting the stunning profile image that they deserve.
Phil started his freelance photography company, PHOTOPHILCRO Inc, in 2007, shooting portraits, interiors, weddings, and editorial creatives. In 2014, Phil moved to Toronto to photograph album art and editorials and worked cross-country while beginning to host monthly Profile PopUp events. Phil returned to Calgary and opened the Profile PopUp Studio in 2017 to give clients an innovative, accessible, and approachable avenue for professional headshots while continuing his freelance work through PHOTOPHILCRO Inc.
Phil is currently developing ideas and software solutions to help photographers build successful careers without burning out. His goal is twofold: to equip young photographers with exciting technology and strategies to build the photography businesses they dream of, and to expand Profile PopUp into other cities allowing more people to experience a joyful professional photography experience that gives them a profile image they can be proud of!
