Antelope Canyon

It's amazing here, the rock is still and smooth with beautiful oranges, pinks and reds.  Around every corner there was something beautiful to see and the shapes are gorgeous.  I would love to visit again and take more time to enjoy it.

A Walk Among Nature

When I first started photographing I was immediately drawn to nature photography.  It's the complete opposite of how I spend my day, I get to step away from the computer screen and walk among nature with the sweet smell of pine in the air. 

Awesome announcement, all of next week I will be in Utah, USA!  I'll be posting my images from the trip when possible and I'm really excited to share this experience with you guys!  Can't wait to hear from you all!

Baby Photographs

My first child photo shoot!  Connor came in and was such a little trooper!  He's a very big jets fan so I had a white set with a goalie net in the background to go with his jersey.  I really want to try photographing kids again, they're so much fun to play with and their eyes are so big and beautiful!



Infrared Portraits

 I recently had the chance to borrow an infrared camera for a week, the effects are surreal and alien like.  Unfortunately it's still winter so I was unable to photograph any landscapes that had a drastic change to the image since everything is white and not green.  The camera captures the layer under the skin or under the leaves if you photograph a landscape changing all the colours.

Figure Study Photographs

This shoot was a real confidence booster for me, since I haven't photographed many people but it was an awesome experience.  The rim lighting was so perfect on Ace, our model accentuating her beautiful lines.  When I first got a chance to look at these pictures I was both surprised and very happy with what I was able to capture!

007

I saw the new James Bond movie about a week ago and luckily was able to borrow this 007 Quantum fragrance bottle for a shoot.  I light-painted the bottle to get the lighting just right and did very little post production on the colour and brightness.

I love how well the white and red light mixed together on the textured bottle, and how it accentuates the logo.

Without the long exposure to paint the light, both the white and red lights appear less strong and don't blend.  However, they still give the bottle an interesting look.

Ink Creations

I have a new obsession, ink in water.  I had first seen this on the youtube channel The Slow Mo Guys, they shot acrylic ink into a tank of water and filmed the beautifully expanding cloud at 4,000 frames per second.  So I decided to recreate the effect inspired by the Rorschach psychology tests.  The ink kept reaching and molding into these beautiful shapes, I really love how amazing and complex they look.  What shapes or characters do you see?
