Fairmont Banff Springs 1888 Chop House

I was commissioned to build environments for a series of stills and video, as part of a visual rebrand for the 1888 Chop House restaurant at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. I gathered natural materials to create these tablescapes, each designed to reflect both the local ecosystems and also nod to the ingredients of each of these dishes.

I also pulled from my own collection, so if you look carefully in some images you can find things like driftwood, snail shells, bird nests, and feathers that I’ve collected over the years.

Thanks to the amazing team who pulled this collaborative effort together: Creative Director and stills by Chris Amat, cinematography by Mike Seehagel, produced by Kaitlin Moerman, Executive Chef Atticus Garant and Chef Sebastian Laycock.
