Adding Value with Every Click
Welcome! I'm Chris Duret. Originally from Saskatoon and now based in Calgary, I’ve cultivated a deep passion for outdoor photography, capturing the beauty of the world around me. What started as a hobby has grown into a dedicated pursuit, fueled by my keen attention to detail and commitment to going above and beyond in everything I do. Whether it’s finding the perfect lighting, framing the ideal shot, or ensuring every aspect is just right, I take pride in delivering exceptional results. I believe that building strong connections is just as important as taking great photos—I'm friendly, easy to get along with, and always eager to collaborate to bring ideas to life.
My Story
Picking up a camera for the first time over 7 years ago sparked a passion I never saw coming. Born and raised in Saskatoon and now based in Calgary, my career path has been anything but ordinary. I started out as an autobody technician, shifted into construction, and eventually found myself working on the pipeline in Northern Alberta. Through it all, one thing remained constant—my love for photography. In my free time, I’d take countless photos of cars, captivated by their design and detail. What began as a simple hobby quickly became something more, and I realized I had found my true calling.
Switching from the hands-on world of construction to the creative art of photography wasn’t an easy leap, but it’s been the most fulfilling journey. Every project I take on now is driven by a few key questions that guide me:
-
How can I best showcase this space?
-
How can I provide the highest quality results for my clients?
-
How can I go beyond expectations and create something special?
No two days are ever the same in this industry, and that’s what I love about it. I get to work with incredible people—homeowners, realtors, and tenants—each with their own unique story. I understand that real estate is more than just properties; it’s about dreams, opportunities, and milestones. That’s why I bring professionalism, creativity, and a personal touch to every shoot, making sure it’s a seamless and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
Beyond photography, I find joy in hiking, exploring the great outdoors, and spending time with my friends and family. These moments help me reset and inspire me to bring fresh ideas and perspectives into my work.
Looking ahead, my vision is clear—I want to build a team of talented, like-minded photographers right here in Calgary and serve the surrounding areas with the same dedication and passion that got me started. I’m committed to maintaining the personal connections and trust I've built with my clients and continuing to raise the bar with every project.
At the end of the day, I truly love what I do. Photography isn't just my job—it's a part of who I am. When you work with me, you're not just getting a photographer; you're gaining a partner who genuinely cares about your vision and is excited to bring it to life.
