Netflix Canada launches #GrammastersNorth search and I really want to win

Netflix Canada announced their #GrammastersNorth search last week, as they look for three of Canada’s best Instagrammable photographers. The winners will visit sets for Netflix Original shows and share behind-the-scenes photos with the country, and it’s an opportunity that I am honestly very, very excited about.

Canadians can enter on Instagram by posting three of their best photos with the hashtag #GrammastersNorth by May 11, and around May 14, Netflix will contact the potential candidates. The three Grammasters will be announced around June 8. The candidates will be selected based on “creativity, originality, and embodying the Netflix essence,” and there are a few rules to keep in mind when entering, including: don’t submit photos of other people, and you can’t feature any copyrighted material or architecture.

I’ve been on set for a number of series over the years, and I’ve always loved every second of it. Some of my favorite interviews that I’ve ever had were on sets.

Going behind the scenes on a series is totally unique because it’s really a window into the creative direction of the show, and it’s a glimpse into how much work goes into making a show look the way it does. Going behind-the-scenes is also a window into the work of the actors, and the creative team.

Over the years I’ve even been on set for a few shows that stream on Netflix, including Netflix Originals, so I think I’d be the perfect candidate for this job since I already know quite a bit about working on set.

Picking my photos for the search was honestly incredibly time-consuming, and it took me a while because I went back over some of my favorite shots from the last couple of years, but my photos from the trip to Fogo Island last year absolutely stood out because they offered a bit of a story from the trip. Some of my favorite work tends to be portraits and videos, but sticking to a theme of travel and showcasing Canada, I’m pretty proud of what I entered. Two of the shots–the first one and the last one–were even shot on my phone.

There are a lot of very talented photographers who have already entered for #GrammastersNorth, so I’ll just have to cross my fingers and see what happens next, but thanks to all my friends, family, followers, and contacts for the support on this post.

If you plan on entering, make sure you follow Netflix Canada on Instagram first, and you can get more details on #GrammastersNorth at grammastersnorth.ca.
