** I very rarely check my MM profile because of the lack of updates. If you want to discuss a photography session please email me at pete.khamphila@gmail.com **

My style of work is influenced from Toronto, Chicago, San Fran, Seattle, and various places throughout Europe. My reputation was built from being a nightlife photographer, shooting inside almost every popular venue in Ontario. At this point, I continue to do paid work as a nightlife photographer and accepting assignments that range from TF creatives (with the option to buy unedited originals) to weddings.

My images have been published and redistributed in the Yellow Pages for Kitchener-Waterloo region, SNAP! Kitchener-Waterloo and MTV Canada.

I'm very serious about what I do in photography:
- I shoot with pro bodies, not "kit" camera packages, entry level bodies, or minority brands like Sony, Olympus, Panasonic, Fuji.
- I give a lot of direction.
- I can't do a shoot without at least one or two lights. Even on location. Natural lighting just isn't enough.
- every shoot is PLANNED PLANNED PLANNED from the Theme and the Location to the MUA, First Assistant, Hair stylist, and Wardrobe.

My preference is to do paid work, I don't do a lot of TF on MM because people can't commit.

My goal here is to work with as many MUAs, Hair stylists, and clothing designers who are serious and passionate in their respective trades, to create some diversity in my portfolio, in hopes that some day soon a commercial gig will come knocking at my door and I'll be taking some hired help with me.
