Like all my posts this one is WAY behind. Meh… whatcha gonna do? Last year a bunch of us got together for a shoot at night. It was called the “All Nighter Shoot” and it was awesome. Well this year it happened again and we rocked it. I love shooting at night. I get to [...]

Just a quicky post today, a recent favorite from a wedding that I was second shooting with Adam Belnap at Deer Creek Golf Club in Ajax, Ontario. Enjoy your long weekend!

Martin and Nicole are a very hip couple that I found me through the website. I shot Martin and Nicole’s engagement session in the Distillery District a while back. Here’s a few shots that we got that day. I know that Nicole will make a stunning bride and these guys are going to have perfect [...]

I’m not sure Erin should live in Canada. Every time she’s modeled for me she complains that it’s cold. Granted during the “frostbite” shoot it was cold, but this time it was the begining of June. Oh well next time I’ll know to rent an industrial heater. We had a great time shooting this creative [...]

Amanda is an amazing lady I met through Facebook, yay for social networking! She is truly a lovely lady, I hope to shoot her again soon. It was really great to have someone let me experiment with different ideas. That can be a tough sell sometimes, “Hey, I have a crazy idea that probably won’t [...]

I rented this lens from Headshots to shoot the MMA Expo recently. Bad move. Now I have to find $2,000 to buy one of my own. First off, Headshots is awesome and if you’re in Ontario, Canada this is where to go to rent gear. Every time I rent from them, it’s always top notch [...]

These shots are two examples of beauty lighting. It’s pretty easy to achieve with a couple of huge powerful light sources in the studio. One light is placed high and the other down low, with the camera shooting right between them. Actually, in these two shots the lower light source is a reflector sitting in [...]

Laura is a very cool lady I met as she waited on me in one of my favorite dining establishments here in Barrie. She agreed to model for me in the park in February. Needless to say she worked harder than me that day. Thankfully it was sunny and warm that day, but it was [...]

I’ve been doing some fashion photography lately. I took the fashion photography class at Humber, just to play a little. It’s worked out really well, because if I wanted to do this type of thing on my own (and I have) I’d need to rent lights and find a model willing to work for trade, [...]

I love this picture. There was a beam of light streaming through the blinds, highlighting the dust in the air. Syd was trying to touch the “butterflies” and was running back and forth. I have about 40 pictures where she is nothing but a blur. She finally stopped long enough for me get this frame. [...]

So here’s a blog by a wedding and portrait photographer and the first real post is about a car shot. So… what gives? Well, it’s not something I get to do everyday, and it just happened a little while ago so it’s still fresh on my mind. As you can see by this picture I [...]
