29 Apr 2012 / 1 Comment / in Beauty

I did a copy cat shoot with Krysten Merrick to using this image as a reference: http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/553750_323664531030457_154453874618191_937435_989431959_n.jpg. I used four mono lights for this shoot two lights behind the model at 45 degrees gated and point to highlight the hair. One mono light up close and gated for a very hard light on the models [...]

Another great shoot with Kirsten at Pitt Meadows. Not exactly sure which park this was but it was along the canal in Pitt Meadows. One of the first times I got to test out my new Alienbees and I was very happy with the outcome. This was a simple shoot using two lights one hard [...]

Workshop with Mosh and Escura – behind the scenes

I attend a Ken Nash/Norm workshop with the incredibly talented alternative model Mosh and local model Escara. The highlight of this workshop was watching how Mosh moved from pose to pose so effortlessly, without repetition and poised for the perfect shot time and time again. Within a 15 minute set I would get around a [...]

I had a great Gothic styled retro 40′s type  theme shoot. It is something that I have wanted to do for sometime. For these the theme is really important, and Megan really had the right wardrobe. I would love to do this type of shoot again but outside of a studio. I shot with one [...]

I really do love lens flared images. You have the opportunity to colour an image with warm emotional colours. The images tend to be flat, slightly over exposed and dreamy. I believe the best person to do this is Jamaria who manages to convey the mood well and give the image depth.

I had a great shoot with Katlin at Ioan Park. Again I misjudged the time to get there and we were left with a very short time to shoot. We got some great spring shots with red gelled flashes to accentuate the red of the models hair. We also got some with the setting sun [...]

I had the great opportunity to work with Kirsten and her brother Hunter at Lighthouse Point Park. We did a summer/Bikini type shoot but without the setting sun and white beach sand. Although one of her first shoots, Kirsten is a natural at moving from pose to pose with very light instruction. A great model [...]

I did a shoot outside of the Marine Building which is 355 Burrard Street. The entrance makes a stunning setting for portrait shots. Interestingly this was used in Smallville as the Daily Planet. We shoot at night in the freezing cold, taking breaks for the model to warm up in the restaurant next door. Both [...]

I had a shoot with Nathalie and very talent team of individuals at Iona Park. We started at 12 but only managed to get to the park at 3:30. So this shoot was a rush against the fading light. I got a couple of cool shots before the sun set but with the mono lights [...]
