Kevin Hogarth
Kevin Hogarth was thirteen years old when he decided to become a photographer. He graduated from the Swift Current Comprehensive High School in 1977. In 1979 he was accepted into the Photographic Technician course at the Red River Community College in Winnipeg. He graduated with a certificate in 1980. Today, he has more the forty years of experience as a professional photographer.
In 1982, Kevin moved to Saskatoon and created his own photography business. In 1989 he constructed one of Saskatoon’s largest commercial studios. He incorporated his business in 1996. When the City of Saskatoon changed the zoning bylaw to allow home-based photography studios legal in 2011, he sold his commercial studio and built a new live-work studio in Saskatoon’s Montgomery Place area.
As a photographer he has gained a great deal of experience working out of a low density populated area. Our market is too small to specialize exclusively in one style of shooting. He has had hair fashion images published internationally, produced promotional material for recording artists including The Northern Pikes, the Sheepdogs, and Sam Roberts. He has a creative mind and enjoys working on fresh concepts with advertising agencies. He feels comfortable shooting in the studio and he has worked with many of the best of Saskatchewan’s craft artists. Since his first spark in becoming a photographer, he has always wanted to become an artist. He has decided to pursue this desire into his semi-retirement years.
Talbot’s Bench
In Britain, William Fox Talbot made the earliest known photographic negative on paper in the summer of 1835 in his home at Lacock Abbey. This bench, still used, is in the town of Lacock, near Fox Talbot’s home.
Iron Gate
While exploring the old part of Montreal I noticed a lot of ironwork. When I came across this iron gate with bent bars I knew I had something to work with.

Open Window
I am always drawn to the older part of a city. I was fascinated by the architectural design of this building in the historical part of Montreal. The open window is the icing on the cake.
Rio Grande City
This photo was takenin the courtyard of an old hotel in Rio Grande City, a small town located in Texas beside the Rio Grande River. I used tungsten-balanced film to create the overall blue color.
San Antonio
The Alamo is not the only Spanish mission in San Antonio. This one was located on the outskirts of the city. The cross on the Moor-inspired architectural design caught my eye.
San Xavier
Located south of Phoenix, San Xavier is a Spanish mission built in the 1700s. I started to photograph the gate when a spring desert rain forced me to explore the interior. The rain made the shot more interesting.
Stairway
I was shooting a commercial assignment when I came across this stairway. I could not pass it up. Tungsten film was used to create the blue color.
Celtic Weave
While touring in Britain I was impressed by the ornate Celtic designs sculpted in stone. Nature weaves its own intricate patterns.
