About Us
"From small town to world recognition"
Hello my friends! My name is Richard Boose and i am the founder/owner of Northern Exposures Photography.
Northern Exposures Photography (NOP) was first established in March 2017 in Elliot Lake, Ontario when we were asked privately to photograph the 2017 Elliot Lake's Got Talent show. This was our first public contract as we were still in the process of launching the business at the time. Since establishment, NOP rose into the spotlight utilizing Social Media advertising, entering international photography competitions, and landing key local and provincial contracts with media and events. We have contracted out our work as media freelancers from Toronto to Sault Ste Marie within Ontario, and reached international audiences by winning photography competitions that landed us in Art Galleries across Europe, a mention in Digital Photography Magazine (Feb 2020) and published in a fine arts photography book in Brazil. To date, NOP has won 22 international photography competitions.
Locally, NOP has secured events and become a main stay photography service provider for the City of Elliot Lake capturing events such as Elliot Lake Fishing Derby, Lumberjack Days, Official Northshore Drag Race photographer for the city, and many other events as requested. NOP has contracted work to Elliot Lakes Retirement Living, and become the official photographer of the Elliot Lake Wildcats (hockey team).
But that is all just the icing on the cake.
Our real talent excels in portrait photography where we consistently are raising the bar with our fantasy type post production of families, children, newborns, maternity, engagements and weddings. We have created a unique signature editing style that has generated us very positive feedback from our clients. This website is full of galleries, posters and banners all created by us with no assistance just to give you an idea of our passion in not just photography, but post production and graphic design as well.
