—  About

Clayton Racicot is a photographer originally from Calgary Alberta now residing in Vancouver British Columbia.

In 2008 I moved to Vancouver for a new adventure in my life, I grew up with a complete devotion to bikes, pedal, motor, dirt, street, didn't matter as long as I was on two wheels, I was in my meditation. My strength was in the downhill mountain bike discipline, racing competitively at a pro/elite level up until 2006, that was the year I decided the injury toll was high enough to 'retire' my number plate. But I never hung up the bike, I moved west to ride even more, the North Shore, Whistler, Squamish and more... 

Immediately after moving I felt the need to give back to the bike community that gave me so much love, I wandered into my local camera store which I purchased my first Nikon dSLR, instantly I was hooked.  I quit the day job during 2009-2010 to take my photography to the next level achieving an advanced diploma at VanArts Media College. 

Today I am a full time Creative Director with an extreme sports protection company which is allowing me to expand my photography into new fields including, graphic design, videography and video editing. 

I am not exclusive to sports and athletes, I shoot a multitude of things, I enjoy long exposures seen in Collection 1, Street Photography - Collection 2, product and still work and even more portraiture, I do the occasional wedding and engagements too.

Scroll down and send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you.

A final vacation stop in #banffnationalpark to take in the beauty of #morainelake before heading back to the coast and reality.
If you have her attention, respect it. Nikon #D850 w/ 24-70 f2.8E using Einstein strobe. BTS / test shot during @brassandunity shoot.
A little sneak of the back of my camera. Had the opportunity to work with the amazing @jackiewildwolf for @brassandunity. Now it’s head down culling and editing. Putting in that work. Nikon D850 w/ 85 f/1.4G | 1/200 f/5.6 ISO100 | Einstein Strobe
Sitting in the rock bed while taking long exposures. My camera was taking a photo while my pal @the_pinder_experience took this #bts.. The sun made it challenging avoid dappled hotspots. So I underexposed about 2 stops to save from a blown out background. It also made for a Moody overall image. Scroll to see it ——- ||| Nikon D850 14-24mm Haida 10stop ND Filter |||
Attack mode.... watching young Bald Eagles 🦅 learn the art of hunting is a cool and sometimes clumsy experience. This one lacked the clumsy and was on its game. 📷 shot with Nikon #D500 and 200-500 f/5.6 fully zoomed to 500mm @5.6
An animation at Long Beach of water navigating through the rugged rock formations in Tofino British Columbia. Scroll to see it come alive ———- Shot with Nikon D810 and 14-24 f/2.8
The train derailed in 1956 when a freighter heading south from Lillooet, BC through Whistler Canada. The fourth engine turned a rail, causing the train wreck. They checked the tape in the engine, which told how fast they were going… 35 mph (56 km) through a section only capable of 15 mph (24 km/h). Today it is a part of the forest with beautiful twisted metal and creative graffiti art. Shot with Nikon D850 and 24-70 f/2.8 E lens.
Brandywine falls at sunset. The mist and the wind coming off the water crashing into itself was a thing of power and beauty. It was a little too cold to get wet. I’ll be back. Scroll ———— for 10 seconds of bliss. Nerd stuff 10stop ND with Haida adaptor mounted on 14-24 f/2.8. Shot with D850
One of my fav places to visit when I go to Nanaimo #piperslagoonpark #shackisland
