Steve Coutts
Steve returns to People on Bikes YYC after his Fall 2016 residency.
"My passion for photography began in 2008. At that time, I was about 20 years in to an Information Technology career. I enjoyed my work but clearly something was missing. Photography was that missing piece. Photography became my full time occupation in 2010 and has been a challenging but rewarding path. More recently, my desire to “just be creative” has pulled me towards videography, drawing and digital design but there is nothing more rewarding than making a great picture."
Summer 2016 Resident Photographer
Masa Higuchi
"I grew up in the bike-friendly city of North Vancouver and have been living in Calgary for 8 years. Although I've spent most of my working career as an engineer, I've recently turned photography from a serious hobby into a small business. I race both road and track bikes. I never was and never will be as fast as the pros but I enjoy it too much to ever stop racing. I also like to ride bikes for the pure pleasure of getting some fresh air, going out for coffee, or just plain exploring different parts of this beautiful city."
Spring 2016 Resident Photographer
Bryce Meyer
"I work as a commercial, advertising and editorial photographer. I was born and raised in Calgary. I really love bikes and bike culture. I’m a huge fan of road racing but haven’t raced since 1996. I’m president of a local cycling club. I drink two cups of coffee a day. I love dogs but don’t have one. Spring is my favourite season."
