Top Blog Entries for Photographers

July 13th, 2010

Over the past two weeks, I’ve been out doing a lot more Mountain Bike shooting. I’m really excited to be back outside with the camera, as I’m coming off an injured knee.
However this leaves a bit less mental space for preparing a blog for this week. So instead of talking on a new topic this is a little retrospective entry of some favorites from the past year.

In no particular order;
Abstinence
LDR (not HDR!) -Part of the ‘Foveas and Photographs’ series-
Liberation by failure
Lazy Leg Lightstands
and a DIY ‘Pocket Wizard’

One shot from this morning with Pike;
Pike
Calgary is currently extending the LRT (Light Rail Transit – Not often underground subway) past our major skate park. I’ve been eyeing up the construction for months now, waiting for the chaos of heavy machinery and construction to align with angles in the park. This morning Pike and I did some shooting before getting rained out.
Note; Stampede in Calgary is an awesome time to shoot, before getting to the park I wrangled a free Pancake-Hashbrown-Scrambled Egg-Sausage breakfast.

Canada Day @ The Bank

July 3rd, 2010

On the evening of Canada Day I had the priviledge to shoot a great Canada Day Party put on my Diamond Productionz, and Nights by Design.
The event was hosted in an old Bank of Nova Scotia, with 60 foot ceilings, 2 balconies, tons of marble, it was a truly awesome party.

Fashion Fundraiser, Fashion Designer Photoshoot

Haiti Fashion Show Fundraiser 3

Haiti Fashion Show Fundraiser

One of my friends from the years way way back when I was in highschool put on a fundraiser for Haiti disaster relief. Although the crown wasn’t very large apparently their hearts were very large, and collectively donated almost $1400. The night included plays/skits, music, dancing, and a lot of runway fashion.

Designer Colleen Booth 3

Several weeks ago I had the opportunity to shoot designer Colleen Booth’s new work shortly before she jumped on a plane in a move to the bigger, and more fashionable, city of Toronto. Here are select pieces of her sleepware lineup on a Midsummer Night’s Dream themed editorial shoot.

I don’t have terribly much to say about this shoot. What can you say about five guys in a bathtub?
