Amy is a model and actress and as you can plainly see she’s very attractive. In fact, it kinda makes you wonder how Will managed to land such a beautiful woman. Oh wait, he’s a good looking, impossibly cool DJ with a great sense of humour and he’s a lot of fun to boot. Uh, [...]

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, [...]

May I introduce Katie and Sarah. They are two insanely talented performers that I met through my friend Ellen. They have a cabaret show that they wanted some promotional photos for. These ladies are awesome, they love to sing and dance and they are hilarious! At times it was hard to hold the camera steady [...]

I recently completed a lighting workshop. I think it’s essential to continually upgrade your skills. It seems like no matter how well I know a subject there is always something I learn in class. For example I have been using Photoshop since 1995. I started at version 2, as I write this Photoshop is at [...]

Another unique opportunity presented itself to me recently when I called my sister. I was asking about her plans for the weekend and she said that she would be helping out her friend Glenn who was photographing at the Mixed Martial Arts Expo. It just sounds like a cool thing to do doesn’t it? I [...]

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 [...]
