Among his past and present clients are: Sun Life of Canada, L’Oreal Canada, Coca Cola Canada. He won his first industry award in the early 90’s for creative visuals in corporate media.

Martin Renters

 (www.teckelworks.com)

Martin’s photographic journey began at about age 8 when he received his first plastic camera. As his skills improved he progressed to developing and printing his own images in a makeshift darkroom in the basement. He still remembers the fascination of putting his first print paper into the developer and watching the image magically appear before his eyes.

Today he works primarily with digital cameras, a computer and a large format inkjet printer. He enjoys many genres – street photography, landscape and studio and finds that each trains him to see things he would have otherwise missed.


Ruth Renters

(www.teckelworks.com)

Ruth uses photography as a form of self-expression. Her images show how she experiences the world with her senses, emotions, and brain.

She began taking pictures when she was about ten years old. Her father, an avid photographer himself, gave her her first camera, which she used extensively all over Europe. In her twenties she purchased her first SLR-Camera and became more serious about photography. In the last ten years she has turned into a photographer who is excited about seeing the world in ever changing ways and tries to catch these decisive moments.


Paul Roth

Early on, a background in optometry provided Paul with insight into the optics involved in photography. His work as a photographer, now spanning 35 years, reveals a command of color, depth of perception, and point of focus. Paul’s photography demonstrates a kind of exactitude, a richness of detail. It’s with that sense of precision that his images deftly convey feeling–the mood of a scene, a sense of character for his subject.

Paul shoots portraits, nature and landscapes, and has also shot extensively underwater. A meticulous printer as well, Paul prints all of his photos in his home studio.

A master member of the Hamilton Photography Club, Paul’s work is exhibited regularly and has won numerous awards. He lives in Dundas, Ontario
