Vancouver is having its annual winter this weekend, and our docks here in False Creek are as pretty as they get ❄️⛄️🇨🇦

Scary wake up last night with a #boatfire here in #FalseCreek, as the VFD Fireboat rocked the docks on arrival & setup right behind my boat to fight it.

Thankfully no one on board, but a total loss of a much valued and oft used family sailing vessel.

Morning coffee with the sun in my face, eyes closed… pretending it’s warm and I’m in Mexico 🙏🏻☕️

Starting off a frosty day with a slightly propane assisted morning coffee wake up, here on board On Assignment… we’ll take the sun when it happens here in Vancouver ☕️⛵️

The Chicks are the perfect 🎶 - ‘cause adding a bit of Texas is always a good time☀️ #CraigOnAssignment #BCStorm #sailinglife #winter

A dark and foggy night, perhaps the flip side to daytime blue skies… 🤔

Outside my studio window downtown, looking out over the Vancouver skyline, coal harbour and the freighter docks.

Some early #filmstills for #FlatOut, a very cool film coming soon … if you’re a fan of the beauty in #musclecars, you’ll love what happens in it!

Great work by Kiara Mcilravey w/ @danbarham.com as DP and the whole creative team!

Fun to see a great team give The Bruce a Christmas challenge - Yippeeekayeeaaa !

Congrats to @hallmark.bsky.social, Erin Krakow & Daniel Lissing - and Santa, for making it happen! 🎄

Erin Krakow and Daniel Lissing featured in the promotional still photograph. I captured for the film Santa Tell Me, as the snow softly falls in the chilly midnight air of the almost deserted train station. A ranking of the top 15 Christmas films for 2024 shows the Film Santa Tell Me, ranked at number six for the year, which is two positions higher than the Bruce Willis film Die Hard

On Set with… #SantaTellMe
.
The chilly, foggy midnight air of a lonely train station … w/ the perfect combo of @ErinKrakow & @DanielLissing, reunited from #WhenCallsTheHeart, even for us working on set, the night was quite special!

Unofficial poster for the film Santa tell me, shows Daniel Lissing, gazing down into the eyes of Erin Krakow, as the snow falls around them in the night air of the empty train station Behind the scenes, photo of the film set for Santa tell me, with Daniel Lissing and Erin Krakow in the center, surrounded by the film camera, monitors, and boom mic… as the snowfalls down around everyone The foggy night air of the train station along with snow falling in the background, shows the Christmas tree on the platform, while Daniel Lissing and Erin Krakow, from when calls the heart, bid their farewell as the night train in the background gets ready to leave the station.

What’s that meme again ..?
On set captures from “Nobody Dumps my Daughter”

Yes, Aiden Howard definitely has his hands full w these two - @jasminevega and @skylarradzion battle for attentions in this film inspired by real events.

#CraigOnSet #photography #unitStillphotographer #BCFilm #LifetimeTV
A young lively Skylar in school uniform and pigtails walks by Aiden, as Jasmin looks on… in a photo that seems to intentionally mimic the meme with the guy looking to the girl that walks by him, as his girlfriend looks on him in shock… Set on a high school ground as part of the movie set with the Dolly tracks in behind

Late night fog takes over Vancouver’s Coal Harbour and #outsidemywindow… the city skyline comes and goes and Canada place is gone completely - love it like this 😎

Managed to get my Christmas lights up in the boat, even snagging a sunny day to do so!

It nice to see #FalseCreek lit up at night as the water, quiet and reflections are the perfect place to get all the “seasonal feels” 🎄

Some shadow luvin’, a long time favourite style of mine, always with its depth, drama and untold secrets…

Location work w/ actors Jason & Helena, on the docks of Granville island & w the MiniX from Harlowe

The raw ingredients for the shrimp tacos laid out ready to cook in two bowls, with a big bowl of shrimp in the foreground and the colourful vegetable salsa mix behind it Overhead photo of the ready to eat ingredients on the shrimp tacos with the bowl full of cooked shrimp, looking succulent and cooked it delicious red, the salsa mix in a bowl, just above it, and the fresh corn tacos heated up and stocked beside that

I don’t often get my photo taken onset, so it can be fun when it happens & most likely when I’m doing or looking goofy… Here is a few from set last week on an #Indiefilm, in the big rain, while working w/ polarizer & #Harlowe lighting tricks… #CraigOnSet #BCFilm #Hollywood #UnitStillPhotograoher

Maybe it’s my Scottish Mum, could be the Irish background… or maybe it’s just my own twisted humour, but I love to keep an eye out for comical moments when I have camera in hand.

India is a stunning experience of colour, history, culture… & fun stuff #photography #CraigOnAssignment #travel
A tour bus on the busy streets of India has the word panickers as a large logo on its windscreen, with the word tourist small below it. Evoking a humourous response as tourists have had occasional moments of panic when in a foreign country, so why not have their own tour company ?! Another street scene from India, where father and young daughter crouch down low to take a selfie with their cell phone, while in the background is an unhappy Indian man in a posing booth at up by the fort, with his turban and sword… Seemingly unhappy, as he’s being ignored for the Photo opportunity he is there for, and relegated to a background role in a selfie.

Moments from Havana, Cuba. Wandering where I end up is a fav way for me to flex some imagery ops and exercise… and the most genuine memories and captures are always off the beaten track. A 24-200mm lens can be your best friend to do so! 📷 #photography #travelphotography #travel #cameratips

Vancouver mountains have had their winter dusting start up, always pretty to see out my window and through the cloud breaks, and now with some real funky stuff coming in tonight and through the week! #VancouverWeather #photography #outmywindow #cameratips

A couple more teasers, while I enjoy my 2nd ☕️…. the winds howling and the boats rockin… Yes, I’m On Assignment this morning ;)

There’s definitely a reason I love working on film sets, and it’s not just because I don’t have to clean it all up when we’re done!
