About the Speakers
Martin Knowles is an architectural photographer and Phase One Certified Professional based in downtown Vancouver, BC. Martin’s approach provides effective visual communication fueled by careful craft and technical savvy. When he discovered the joy of photography and working in the darkroom in grade 8, he also discovered that he had a particular passion for documenting the built and natural environment. This led him to working in large format film and photographing architecture as a creative outlet while studying computing science and fine arts. In 2007, he founded Martin Knowles Photo/Media to serve the design, architectural, and building communities.
When he’s not behind a camera, working in Photoshop, making Capture One squeeze the last bit of detail out of an image, or helping clients make the most of their visual imagery, he can be found sailing in the San Juan and Gulf Islands, taking long bicycle rides, or tearing up the floor with other creative folks at local blues, fusion, and swing dance events.
Jessica Quan is a lifelong Vancouver resident with a passion for connecting with communities. Jessica has been with Vancouver Heritage Foundation since 2012, and her current role is Community Engagement Manager. She is the keystone manager of Places That Matter, Vancouver’s register of community nominated heritage places and stories that are not acknowledged through traditional heritage recognition avenues.
