Hello everyone, I am Dodgie Paolo Pidor Dator, a freelance photographer based in Winnipeg, MB., Canada and eager to travel. I was born in the Philippines and immigrated to Canada with my family back in October 2000. Winnipeg has been our cozy new home for the last 10 years. I am very happily married to my gorgeous wife Frances Ranosa Dator, she is my inspiration specially for my wedding photography. Frances is my co-photographer on my projects and also a model coach for our fashion/glamour work. She has the eye in capturing emotional images, her images are quite distinct from mine yet compliments perfectly in your story book.I create a lot of really personalized artwork through my contemporary lifestyle portraits. I love on location portraits so that I am not confined to a space, I get to explore and have my models/clients be more relaxed and show their true individuality. I absolutely love wedding photography since I get to create artworks as life unfolds. My clients often refer to my images as very artistic, natural and quite refreshing. Come and read my blog as I share with you my life behind the camera, as I create artworks in life around me.
I also sell my scenic photographs as fine art prints, some of my work is currently available in 3 Winnipeg locations; Birchwood Art Gallery, Wayne Arthur Gallery and McGrath Diamonds. I keep a large archive of over 15,000(and growing) images of Winnipeg and places I get to visit.
We have a partner weddings/special events planner En Vied Events in Victoria, British Columbia and we travel a lot and also have partner studios in the Philippines.We are available for travel worldwide, please don't hesitate to contact us for any inquiries.
