In a coincidental twist of fate, VanArts’ Digital Photography graduate Jens Kristian Balle recently got to photograph the founder of our Acting for Film & Television department William B. Davis for Vancouver Magazine. The photo shoot was an assignment for a feature on Davis’ role in the locally-produced show Continuum, alongside his co-star Richard Harmon.
