About this Event
@urbanyeg is back in a different form: Creator Space. Since we retired in 2023, the creative space in Edmonton just hasn't felt the same. There's been a void and we're now here to bring back that connection we all once had. Instead of just starting up urbanyeg again, we wanted to lead this community in a way that meets you where you are now in your creative journey - the professional stage.
If you've been a part of the @urbanyeg community, you know that we've always focused on creating meaningful events that drive real connection with other photographers and creators. Join us for our 5th installment of Creator Space.
Event is for all types of creators! Photographers, videographers, web designers, graphic designers, branding, marketers, social media managers, vloggers, hair and makeup artists, tech, community leaders and connectors.

Featured Guest
Alexandra Marcu
Alexandra began her photography journey in fashion photography in 2018, working primarily with models over the next two years. During that time, she had the opportunity to have her work published both locally and internationally, as well as work with a variety of brands and businesses, including Dior, Westin, JW Marriott, local and franchised restaurants, dental offices, skin care brands and most recently, Rexall.
Over the last six years, her focus and passion have shifted toward couples and wedding photography. She’s had the opportunity to travel across Canada documenting weddings, with some international weddings in the United States and New Zealand.
To date, Alexandra has photographed nearly 100 weddings and she still finds herself falling in love with the same thing that drew her to wedding photography in the first place: the storytelling. No two wedding days ever unfold the same, and she loves that even the smallest details, interactions and unexpected moments make each one entirely its own.
This for her creates a constant, exciting challenge that allows her to grow her work every year.
Hosts
Chan Rin and Jeff Kelly
Chan is the founder of urbanyeg and Jeff became part of the leadership team shortly after. They along with many other team members led this creative community for over eight years until it was retired in 2023. Both had their respective photography businesses and with over two decades of experience between them, they created Disruption Digital Marketing to serve commercial clients. This year, the decision was made to put Creator Space under the Disruption banner to take urbanyeg in a new direction that would support the creative community with where they are now in their professional journey. They bring a wealth of experience in the commercial space and will be sharing their journey from that perspective. Between them, noteable clients include Gucci, City of Edmonton, Aritzia, Lindt, lululemon, Audi, Epcor and more.
