I have had the pleasure of working for Couture Fashion week, every season since 2011...

The producer, Andres Aquino noticed my work online, and approached me via email to see if I would like the position of House Photographer. Of course, this Medicine Hat girl was exited for the opportunity!

Since then, I have been honored to have a whole new, extended family of friends and professionals. We meet up every season for a new and exciting Fashion Week experience in New York City for a week of High Fashion global couture, glitz and glam!

Andres has become a fabulous friend and ally in my career. Thank You Andres! (...and lotsoflove and a huge thank you also to Kelsie Mckenna, Marketing Director, Production Assistant, Model and Red Carpet Correspondent of Couture Fashion week )

"We love ya baby!"
"The cast/staff head shots and character shots taken by Joan Bateman-Cowan for the drama productions at Crescent Heights High School are spectacular. Each shot demonstrates a deep understanding of creating a concept for each character in the show. Extraordinary time is spent developing positive working relationships with each student during the photo shoots. Joan creates vivid images used for promotional purposes and for the show’s programs which make each student shine. The photos taken by Joan are true examples of artistry matched with skill. Thousands of community members see the photo’s and remark at the genius of the photography." ~Jennifer Davies, Theatre Director and Dramatic arts Instructor, Crescent Heights High
