Goofing off or valuable instruction!

Summer is arriving in a hurry, which is a good thing - for me anyway!  I love working outside when you are not freezing yourself.  Outdoor photo shoots are definitely more fun - even I as the photographer get to goof off occasionally.

Now I would not call this goofing off, although it might look like it!  This is highly scientific professional instruction....that did lead to goofing off.  It is so much easier often times, just to show your client how do you want them to pose. Telling a person what you want them to do is one thing, and i do it as well.  After I usually show them. It ends up lightening up the mood ( can you imagine me, striking up a sexy and seductive boudoir pose ). I can see you, dying of laughter, and you just fell off your chair.  Okay, so now you know what I mean.
It also goes to show my clients, that I am not above to make a bit off a fool of myself, to make sure they will have best ever pictures possible. And just because I don't take myself too seriously, I take my craft very seriously.

There are also moments, where I as a serious photographer :) showing my model a proper pose, get ambushed. Usually by my mischievous model, who wants to join in the fun

What can I say - I never turn away from some tomfoolery!
This was actually quite spontaneous moment on her behalf, but I must say I loved it!  Couple of images from this shoot, made few modeling agencies take notice I am happy to say.

So when you book your photo shoot with me, you can expect following.
1) Fun
2) Enjoyable moments
3) Laughter (sometimes hysterical)
4) Images you cherish for years to come
5) Irresistible urge to do another photo shoot with me
6) Need to tell everyone how great it was

You should be ready by now to call me!
Live, love, laugh and create memories!

Walker Evans, an American photographer  said "Whether he is an artist or not, the photographer is a joyous sensualist, for the simple reason that the eye traffics in feelings, not in thoughts"

We all take certain liberties when it comes to our work, sometime the artistic licence we have is quite large. Our vision creates our own personal style, and as such every photographer has their own distinct style.
My style is soft and romantic, as it comes to my Boudoir and and my portrait work.  Even in my Automotive work, I always blend colours and use light and shadows to enhance the style of the vehicle.

Welcome to my little slice of heaven, my blog where I can tell you about things going on and showcase some of my art.

This picture was taken in Cambridge, On.  Local truck repair shop has this old GMC truck as their road side sign, and they graciously let me do some shooting on a Sunday when the shop was closed Model is my dear friend Shianne. She is very beautiful, and so much fun to work with. This was my third shoot with her, and there will be more! (I hope).

I looked at this picture in colour, but I chose to do it in black and white. The look is so '50s, but more over it has a feeling of being from that age. There is so much more of the picture that works as Black and white rather than colour shot.

Someone, much wiser person said that "you see a movie, but you look at a photograph".

And with that little thought I will leave you today. Go out, take some pictures and make a few photographs!
