Who am I?
P.Tography is photography, visual media, & design by Phil Cates. Operating out of Salmon Arm, BC, and serving the interior’s finest commercial and private clients, I specialize in photography that stands out in a crowded world.
I don't just click a shutter, I compose. Backed by 15+ years of professional photography experience and a deep background in architectural design, I see the subtle structural details, lighting nuances, and effortless posing that turn a simple picture into a photograph.
I love people, I love dynamic conversations, and I will stop at nothing to make sure you are laughing and comfortable in front of my lens. If you value a professional, business-first approach wrapped in a fun, stress-free experience, we’re going to get along great.
Whether you’re looking for photography, video, logo/graphic design, (or perhaps you’re even planning your dream home) - I’m here for it!

My Pledge To You
P.Tography is a modern photography option for modern people. In business. In presentation. In style.
I want to capture your love as purely as possible. I want to capture you and your families, celebrating your most special moments so that you always have something to remember. I want to capture your creations and products so that you can flourish.
And I’ll do it all, with a little bit of style.

My Inspiration
It is often said that if you want to know what a photographer cares about the most, just look at what they photograph.
I am inspired by love, people, and ideas. Having the opportunity to capture or design things in unique ways is what I love most about being a creative person. The world is filled with all sorts of beautiful things, moments, and ideas. What better way than to use the power of photography to frame it all?
