Oh Canada

I shot a creative about two weeks ago with an amazing model from Elmer Oksana. The concept was inspired by my youth growing up in Canada, often my mother would take me shopping for spring clothing in February or March when the snow was still on the ground, and every once and I while I would try to wear my new spring clothing to school on a cold March day. The concept was to show clothing from upcoming Canadian spring lines, as a celebration of Canadian designers, and the coming spring.

Thanks to everyone for braving the cold!

Greta's Mens Look Book

I shot this quite a while ago but am just posting it today on my site, I thought I would put a couple extra images on the blog.

Power 2010 Promotional Material

It has been a long couple of weeks, I have been shooting a lot of product shoots most notably the Power 2010 Promotional Material. Above are some shots.

Wedding

So I shot a wedding a couple weeks back and I am just getting to the images now.

I don't shoot a lot of weddings, usually only do it if I know the couple or am a approached by a couple that has a good vibe.

I would like to give major respect to photographers who do shoot weddings as there main gig, it can be very hard.

Single in the city shoot

So last week I shot for a new dating site, Single in the city, the idea was to use shoes to represent different types of couples. It was a fun set, the Art Director was wonderful and I hope to work with him again soon. You can check out his agency at www.sodaandtonic.com they do great stuff!

This is an unedited raw shot from the shoot, it still needs a little bit of work but I am happy with the capture.

Shadow

Here is an image from the shoot I am editing today, I will write more about it in a later post.

October Issue of Reno and Decor

This month my editorial in Reno and Decor came out, I was very lucky to get to shoot some amazing locations, like the show room of the Museum House show room and other amazing interiors designed by The Gracious Living Center. It printed a little dark which bothered me but it happens, and I guess you just roll with the punches. Any ways pick up an issue and check it out, they are free and can be found in many news stands.

Heading to Port Ryrse

It has been a good week, lots of little projects on the go and some big ones on the horizon. Heading to the in-laws for thanksgiving, hope everyone has a great long weekend. This image is from my wife's grandparents beach.

Hamish's Show

So yesterday, I shot with a wonderful new model Brianna from Next.

It was also the opening of a good friend and mentors show last night, it was a happy and sad night.

Hamish Kippen passed away last year, which was a great personal lose to both myself and all the other people he touched in his short but passionate life. He will be missed by many, both as a friend and a talented young photographer.

I invite everyone to go see his show which is on display at....

Courtney

So this is an old shoot form about 8 months ago.

This week has been pretty slow, just resting up and playing with Sky (my daughter)

I have some big projects in mid October so I thought I would just take advantage of the down time.

Virginia (Next Toronto)

So I meet some new friends shooting last week a wonderful make up artist Jessica Myers http://jessicajeanmyers.blogspot.com/ and Virginia from Next. Both of whom I hope to shoot with again soon!

I have been in a bite of a funk since this shoot... I have been having trouble finding stylist that are on the same page :( the stylist for this shoot had some good ideas, they just weren't what I had thought we were doing and it kinda throw me off my game.

I have been laying low all week cause I was kinda bummed, but I really like these shots, so maybe I was just being to hard on my self, the jury is still out....

Taking the week off...

So... I have decided to kinda chill this week, no shoots planned and haven't really been editing, today will be my first real work day this week. I decide to post an old shoot today because I came across it and still love it.
