I Aim To Revolutionize Tournament Photography In BC
Hello everyone, I'm Tyler (TJ) Kendall, thank you for checking out my site.
My passion for all sport is unmatched in the photography industry having played every sport under the sun since I was old enough to walk. Passion for sport is reflected in the way I operate my business, having major/minored in Business/Sport Management at Griffith University in Australia.
I have has a camera in my hand since I shot my first sporting event: 2016 Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast Surf Comp. Having learned so much since then, dabbled with so many types, styles and variations of photography, sport has always been my true calling.
There are 3 things I am most passionate about in this world:
Photography, Sport and Travel.... and I get to travel around BC photographing sports.
They say do what you love, I didn't realize how important that is until I was able to quit my previous jobs and commit to being a professional full time sports photographer. I am so happy to be doing what I am doing, I wouldn't choose to be doing anything else.

Steph Mackenzie,
“We love the photos taken by Tyler at Northern Element Photography for both hockey and baseball. As a parent, it's so nice to sit back and enjoy watching your kid while someone else captures the moment, especially when the photos are 1000x better than what my iPhone is capable of. The value of the team package, especially when you pre-order is amazing. I highly recommend Northern Element Photography. Thank you!"
