Award-winning photographer Alan Jacques has been involved in photography since 1972, starting out as a freelancer and instructor. He started his own film & video production company in 1981, which won him a Canadian Film & Television Association First Choice Award for his first film, Marathon - The Ultimate Challenge.  In 1985 he left the film & video industry to pursue his interest in business and marketing, beginning a period of personal work.  

In 2001 Alan re-discovered his passion for street photography, and continues to expand into new areas.  His recent projects include Wires (a series of B/W photographs shot at Broadway & Main in Vancouver) and 3 Minutes 30 seconds (a study of the beauty and sensuality of the female form).  His work has appeared in 14 gallery shows in Canada and the US, and in Black & White Magazine.  He utilizes all 3 photographic media: digital, film and instant film.  Alan lives in Langley, BC and has two teenage daughters.  Though he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991, the past 2 years have been the most photographically productive of his life.
