Result of a absolutely CRAZY collaboration between Dracorubio and myself. I gave Dracorubio some shots from my Frozen Dancer photoshoot and he whipped out this absolutely mind blowing composition! 

Check out more of his work (and while you're at it, rate his portfolio) here: http://dracorubio.see.me/aw2011?sms_ss=twitter&at_xt=4d873120012f3ba2,0

I'm currently trying to scheme up a way to fly this guy over to Montreal to give a photoshop lesson on how he does the crazy stuff he does. NO ONE in montreal does anything close to what he does so it would give you guys a tremendous edge in the market!!

Title: Silent Memories
Like the shot? Fav it!

She stands, silently, surrounded by the silence of the universe around her.
She meditates, silently, on the infinite possibilities that life is now offering to her.
She remembers, silently,  moments and faces that had once been everything… and now nothing.
 

She stands alone…. in silent memories.

Third of a series of shots from my largest shoot ever (check out some backstage shots HERE - www.facebook.com/pages/Von-Wong-Photography-Montreal-Base….

The original concept developed when I met model Fey Cody online, who told me that she had lost many people in her life and would like to do something that showed how they're spirits still lived on and were carried on within her. The result here was some spontaneous re-adaptation in the middle of the shoot while some test shots were being taken.

HAPPY EASTER!! I'd like to dedicate this shot to anyone feeling the blues on this beautiful sunny day here in Montreal!

The idea of the final post-processing of the images was to have something really surreal surrounding our gorgeous model to emphasize how alone she really is…. despite everything supernatural that's happening around her.

To me, I feel that in our moments of sorrow, we focus so much on the crappyness of our lives that we fail to see that life around is actually quite beautiful and vibrant - as long as we take the time to appreciate it.

The starlit sky was borrowed from this magnificent website: spacespin.org/article.php/new-stars-shed-light-past

I think they really helped make the image sparkle and shine.

I'd like to thank and credit all the people that were involved in this shooting and that made it possible:

- Joëlle Stébenne (Designer of the dress that I had commissioned)
- Joanie Lapointe (Makeup artist, Hair stylist, Airbrush artist)
- Jeanine. C (Model Coach, Makeup assistant)

 Title: Midnight Melancholy
Like the shot? Fav it!

Silent evenings turn long and lonely when the mind replays, remembers and regrets.
When the body's weak with exhaustion but the mind refusing to sleep, borders between fantasy and reality tend to break and bend.

What if. What not. Why do. Who.
Questions. Answers.

Am I alone? Is he there?

come back to me.

I miss you.

First of a series of shots from my largest shoot ever (check out some backstage shots HERE - www.facebook.com/pages/Von-Wong-Photography-Montreal-Base….

The original concept developed when I met model Fey Cody online, who told me that she had lost many people in her life and would like to do something that showed how they're spirits still lived on and were carried on within her. This concept combined with a sad story of loneliness that a good friend of mine Sabrina had told me resulted in the image you see above. I edited this picture yesterday and took advantage of a 40% off special they had at provisia and printed it out in a gigantic 24×30" format that you can check out in crappy webcam version HERE (http://img.skitch.com/20100316-frqb4pjwn29jb2s8eh9b773ciy.jpg)
