Welcome!


I have recently decided to keep and maintain a blog that that does not solely focus on my job of photography but rather as a place where I can share my experiences with those that are interested. I plan on updating this blog regularly with either informative posts or inspiring pictures. All comments are welcome!

Title: My Cadillac & I
Like the shot? Fav it!

"The women want a Cadillac, she don't want no man!"

Shot with talented singer, writer and dancer Mina E over last weekend, this one of many shots taken in an indoor garage while hiding from security cameras, passing cars and security patrols!

Once again going for the cleaner happier colors… the idea here was to make everything retro-ish! Transformed the grey car blue and switched the headlights on in photoshop =)

Shot with the indispensable help of Julius Adarna

Strobist Info:

1x SB-600 gell'ed orange, camera right

1x SB-600 gell'ed orange, cooming fromt he back,

1x SB-900 gell'ed orange, fill light from the front

Title: White as Snow
Like the shot? Fav it!

"Oh, how I wish that I had a daughter that had skin white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as ebony"

A contract shoot for Mosaik Montreal's spring collection of clothing (ft. designers Many and Marie), we transformed an extremely cramped living room into a makeshift studio of awesomeness. This is one of my favorite shots from the shoot because the colors totally pointed to snow white… and as all you guys that follow me know, my latest work hasn't been the cheeriest so… here's a little fantasy and happy for those missing it =)

1x WL X1600 with Beauty dish upper camera left

1x WL X1600 w 47" octobox, camera left (45 degrees as fill)

Title: Symphony of Dance

Toss your hair back, listen to the music and feel… alive.

I know I really haven't been online recently to update you guys with shots but a couple paid contracts have been keeping me real busy… sorry and thanks for still following my work!
 
I have a crazy upcoming shoot coming up on the 12th of March and if you are or know of any athletic male jazz-dancer body type people, please send them my way!

Need a fix?
Like the shot? Fav it!

"Need a fix?"  she asked in all seriousness.
With no hint of a smile and no glint in her eye.

Despite the wrongness of it all, there was no inherent evil behind her words. No malevolence, or hint of ill will.

Damn life is screwed up sometimes.

I'm not quite sure why but I've been feeling discombobulated lately wondering where life is bringing me. Also been crazy busy latey which explains why I haven't had the chance to post anything up. Sorry for the morbid image… I promise there are some nicer things coming up =)

Shot with the amazing red-headed beauty Jasmine  and some crazy cutting tools.

A couple hours of photoshop fiddling to add some joints to our beautiful jasmine and we have a human puppet.

Hope you enjoy it.

Strobist Info:

1x WL X1600 @ 1/4 power w/ 22' Beauty Dish grid camera center point downwards

A couple hours of photoshop fiddling to add some joints to our beautiful jasmine and we have a human puppet.

Eye of the Maelstorm
Like the shot? Fav it!

"All around her the world crumbles but she doesn't waver. Staring across at the destruction she has caused, she stands unmoving and impassive. "

Shot with the amazing red-headed beauty Jasmine  and some fancy red gels in my living room and subsequently spent an afternoon brushing away to get the effect.

Some of the background was borrowed from the talented artist : http://palemajesty.deviantart.com/

Once again, lots of photoshop but I felt that this one just worked with the whole painted theme!

Hope you enjoy it.

It's always fun working with people that bring something completely new and different to the mix. Roxan asked me for something very drab and neo-militaristic and this is what I came up with. 

 

Decided to give it a nice fancy poster look just for fun ! =)

It's always fun working with people that bring something completely new and different to the mix. Roxan asked me for something very drab and neo-militaristic and this is what I came up with. Strong, military with a tad of irony, I think this was one of my best shots of the day!

In the lolita lair

Title: In the Lolita Lair
Like the shot? Fav it!

Shot commissioned specially for first-time model Odore accompanied by designer Yueri

The idea was to create some sort of underground lair so by throwing in a bunch of stock 3d objects such as a frame, skull and the likes I attempted to create some sort of surreal atmosphere. 

In the future it’d be fun to have the real thing =)
