Big Rock Brewery has enjoyed working with RidgeRock Studios since 2013 and they have consistently provided us with beautiful photographs of all our beers and ciders.  Their creative and technical skills are top-notch, and images produced are always on time.  We would wholeheartedly recommend them!

I trust Todd with my most important projects. 

We have worked together styling and shooting a wide variety of food projects. 

Todd brings a level of professionalism that only someone with his years of experience can achieve. He is adaptable, easy to work with and capable of executing any vision. 

His massive studio and fully operational kitchen has everything needed to shoot perfect food shots.

I have worked as a food stylist with Todd on a wide variety of projects for different clients. But when it came to shooting my own cookbook project, I knew I could only trust one person to execute the extensive task to the high standard I set for the cookbook.

My long-time photographer has asked me to provide a reference to which I am more than happy to do. I have worked with Todd Patterson on multiple projects since 1996.
I met Todd when he was pioneering digital photography here in Calgary. He has over the years supplied us with literally 1000’s of high-quality photographs, on time and budget. Todd always properly completed the gig and I know that he went above and beyond on many of my projects. Rest assured you will get what you are looking for in your photography whether that is style or content or both. Todd has several skills that often are not appreciated in lighting, colour and composition. As a television director for over 20 years, I can say he has high proficiency. Recently, I contracted him to do an excessive number of photographs in a short period during the covid pandemic. Not only did he agree to do it in a highly undesirable situation, but he also did an amazing job at it. I’m sure whatever needs you have Todd can deliver.
