IAN REDD and VAN INKED PHOTOS
 
Over the past five years as a professional photographer I've photographed many people of all-different sizes, ages and ethnic backgrounds. In photographing these people I noticed that many of them shared in common the expression of body art (tattoos and piercings). I found it to be beautiful and often wondered what the meaning or reasoning behind their design and choice of body art was... That's when I began to vision the idea of Van Inked Photos.

I'm professionally schooled in the art of photography. I apprenticed for over two years with a couple highly accredited Vancouver photographers and then decided to branch out and open my own photography studio ( www.ianreddphotos.com ) specializing in headshots, portraits, and fashion. It's been a very exciting, fulfilling, and successful endeavor. Photographing people will always be a passion for me. Photographing people and their body art allows me, to get to know the individual and understand them in a whole different way and form.

I want to capture the beauty and personality of my clients while understanding the story behind their body art. Through Van Inked Photos and it's images I can promote the amazing designs that British Columbia's Tattoo Shops and their artists have created.
