Eckhardt Kriel - Waterdown Photographer

I’m a freelance photographer based in Waterdown, Ontario – Canada and my work has been featured in the NOW Magazine in Toronto as well as a local newspaper in Minnesota, USA. I am a certified CAPA (Canadian Association for Photographic Art) judge and a member of Nikon Professional Services. I have been passionate about photography since I was a teen in South Africa where I was born and grew up.

Whether it's a portrait session, a special event, or a creative collaboration, my goal is not only to deliver outstanding images but also to build lasting relationships with my clients. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of your photos, I ensure that you feel comfortable, valued, and heard. I strive to make the entire process enjoyable, relaxed, and personal.

After getting to know your style and vision, I’ll customize a session that’s designed for you. If needed, I can also arrange a makeup artist or stylist to help you feel camera-ready.

My work has been featured in the NOW Magazine in Toronto as well as a local newspaper in Minnesota, USA.

Testimonial

"I had the pleasure of working with Eckhardt for a recent photo shoot, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the experience was seamless. Eckhardt made everyone feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, which really shows in the photos. We had specific requirements for some poses on our website, and he took the time to prepare ahead to ensure the final product met our expectations. Eckhardt also worked through the final edits very effectively, ensuring everything aligned with our brand vision.

The final images exceeded my expectations, with fantastic lighting, composition, and an overall polished look. If you're looking for a talented photographer who listens to your needs and delivers stunning work, I highly recommend Eckhardt!"
