our lens. your chemistry.
Founded in 1975, Colour Technic is re-established, drawing on its roots in film chemistry and manual camera discipline. Following a decades-long engineering career in electronics imaging and business, we photograph the true character of leaders, founders, and families.
No digital shortcuts.
Directly into our lens.
1971: Your photographer, a 15-year-old with a second-hand film camera, covers Pierre Trudeau's rally at a local high school. Intrigued by what develops in his lens. Making 42 seconds of a leader's personal, undivided attention last forever.
2026: Hoisting modern equipment to another Pierre rally in the same town. Your photographer, still intrigued by everything developing in his lens. A lifetime with vision, framing moments that last beyond the subject.
The Foundation
It began in a home darkroom in 1966 mixing black and white chemistry. By 1970, developing colour photos helped pay for a Yashica-Mat 124. The Yashica’s twin lenses focused momentarily on Pierre Elliott Trudeau during a 1971 visit to Pauline Johnson. This early film experience laid the foundation for Colour Technic, established as a Brantford photo lab in 1975.
Realizing photography’s future lay in physics replacing chemistry prompted a transition. The lab segued into an engineering career in electronics and imaging. Today, that technical breadth serves with purpose: understanding what comes through the lens. No artificial generation. No shortcuts. Walking today's history-makers directly through our lens.
