Cal Nichols

Here is a portrait of Cal Nichols taken during the Oil Sands tour 2008. Cal owns the Gasland group of companies and was the founding member of the EIG, the investor group that kept the Edmonton Oiler hockey team in Edmonton.

Obviously I had heard of Cal before but have never had the opportunity to photograph him. From my brief experience meeting Cal, I found him to be a very kind man.

I felt that when he asked me about myself he was genuinely interested in my response, a lot of times this just isn’t the case with big business owners.

I feel that this portrait shot in a candid style best reflected his persona -

Thoughtful, Genuine and Sincere,

Enjoy,
