Tracy O'Camera is a nod to my Irish grandfather, George Whaley, who often said:

"You can't return a favour. Pass it on, and it will work its way around".


My heritage ranges from Canada and the USA, Ireland, the Ukraine and Romania, and Germany via Russia's Volga river.

My passport says Canada - I am a citizen and traveller of the world

Tracy O'Camera(aka Tracy Kolenchuk) is a photographer of people and events. Music, dance , theatre and life.

Most of his photographs are natural, unposed, and usually in natural light.

Tracy often works for free - while enjoying himself. Tracy is a 'culture vulture (in a nice way)' who does not own a TV, prefers live music to any CD or radio (although he does listen to CKUA on the way to all performances).

Tracy makes thousands of his photos available for free to performers, presenters and friends via his event website.

If you want Tracy to take pictures for free - you can simply invite him to take pictures at your performance - he might show up... If he does, you'll get some web size photos for free - and an option to purchase full size versions, when he gets around to posting them.
