February Family Portraits
I haven’t posted in over a month (!) so I wanted to add some new family portraits. I met Kathryn at a holiday party in December, and this past weekend I went over to her place to take some pictures of her adorable boys. After taking a few pictures at home, we headed over to [...]
SidePonyNation
Happy New Year!
Before the holidays, the Toronto Strobist Group met in the studio for a fun shoot. My job ended up being to organize our models for the day, so I put up an ad on Craigslist and found these two girls. They’re in a band called SidePonyNation, and they were hilarious. So [...]
Maria
I have a massive backlog of pictures to post. I’ve been spending a lot of time shooting and even more time editing. Here are some more from my Photography of People portrait photography class.
This time last year, I had literally zero interest in studio photography. I was all about candid portraits in [...]
Ben & Andrew
I have been meaning to post more pictures from my “Photography of People” class (see: Danica and Daniel).
This is Andrew:
This is Ben:
These pictures were taken at the end of September, which feels like a million years ago. I am finally making my way through my editing backlog, hooray!
Daniel
Here are some more pictures from my class at George Brown College.
This is Daniel Mais, a great model who also happens to be a very talented photographer!
Toronto Zombie Walk 2009
Here are a few pictures from the 2009 Toronto Zombie Walk, which occurred this afternoon.
I’ll be adding more to Flickr very soon!
You can see last year’s pictures here.
Danica
I’m taking a night class at George Brown College called “Photography of People”. Each week, we take turns working with different models and lighting set-ups. One of last night’s models was Danica Kotsopoulos, a jazz singer. She was fantastic, and it was only her first time modelling! Here are some pictures:
I’m catching up on all [...]
Chelsea + Eric’s Engagement
I had an engagement photography session with Chelsea & Eric and their adorable daughter Lila this past weekend.
The day started out as a little bit of a disaster, because our location was completely packed! I got there about half an hour early and drove around, got lost, pulled over onto a side street, and ended [...]
The Wedding Gift
I have a lot to update about, including a new website and logo, more Babe with a Sword stills, a picture in the Globe & Mail, and lots of studio work!
For now, I’d like to share some movie stills I did for a short film called The Wedding Gift, directed by Naomi Ward and starring [...]
Babe With A Sword: Day 3
Hello! I’m writing from Quebec, where I’m working as the stills photographer on the feature film Babe With A Sword. Right now it’s Day 3 and the cast is siting around a fire watching old vampire movies while the crew is setting up.
We’re having tons of fun so far, with lots of excitement from raccoons [...]
iStockPhoto: September ‘09 Update
I’ve been very busy recently on a number of things, from meeting awesome models and makeup artists to taking a class on portrait photography to getting ready to work on a feature film.
I’ve also been putting more time into building my iStockPhoto portfolio. Here are some of my recently accepted images. These are all travel [...]
Your Heart: The Band
Yesterday was the Your Heart show I’ve been talking about. It was awesome!
Before the show, the band and I took a walk around the venue and took some quick pictures.
The album was released yesterday, and you can check it out here.
Your Heart: Night Lights
I posted about Andrew and “Your Heart” yesterday.
Here are some pictures we took the other night for his show/album promo. There are more pictures on Flickr.
These pictures were taken in a nearly pitch black schoolyard with a bare SB-600 flash on a stand camera right.
Your Heart
Andrew has been my friend for over 10 years. He’s an extremely talented musician who has written literally hundreds (maybe even thousands) of songs. He is also the genius behind Songs To Wear Pants To and he posted 1 song every day last year on Andrew is Music.
He’s about to release his new album, called [...]
Alyson + Emma
When Alyson and Emma contacted me to take pictures at their wedding this past July, I was very excited! My first wedding! They are two of the coolest, most laid back people I’ve met – but they did have some “rules”. Namely, no cheesy posed shots. ”Can you be more specific?” I asked. ”You know, [...]
London at Night
I have been neglecting this poor website, and that is because I have been very busy! I just spent 2 weeks doing loads of travel photography, after shooting an amazingly fun wedding in mid-July. I have a few film jobs coming up this fall, including my first horror film, Babe with a Sword, directed by Brooks [...]
An Insignificant Harvey
I posted some behind-the-scenes pictures from “An Insignificant Harvey” (formerly “The Insignificance of Harvey”) back in May. Now, here are some publicity stills.
The film was written and directed by Jeff Kopas. Images are © Vitality Media Productions.

Don Valley Brickworks
My friend Jon and I headed to the zoo yesterday for a photography adventure, but when we saw cars lined up as far as the eye could see, we decided to leave and check out Don Valley Brickworks. Unfortunately we missed the chance to take pictures inside the building, because they’ve started construction and there [...]
Politically Correct Bedtime Stories
I’ve been MIA for a while, and it’s because I’ve been very busy with non-photography things! At the beginning of the month, I put on my producer hat and produced 2 music videos and a spec spot with Wendelfilm. It was a lot of fun and I believe we’ll be doing one or two [...]
NIN|JA 2009 – The Fans
Street Sweeper Social Club, Nine Inch Nails, and Jane’s Addiction played at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto last Tuesday. Thanks to the relaxed camera policy, I was able to bring my camera. I was pretty far back from the stage, so even with my 200mm lens, I couldn’t do much. Particularly since everyone in front [...]
Three Plays by Sam Shepard
Steven McCarthy (one of the lead actors in The Insignificance of Harvey) is directing a show called 4-H Club, Killer’s Head, Cowboys #2: Three Plays by Sam Shepard, and I took some pictures this week.
4-H Club: Chad Donella (DAKOTA, FINAL DESTINATION, HATE CRIME – best supporting actor, Breckenridge film fest), Salvatore Antonio (AT THE HOTEL, [...]
The Last New Year Theatrical Release
The Last New Year (IMDB) (official site) is playing at The Royal in Toronto for its last night tonight at 7pm. I went to see it last night, and it was fantastic.
Since I only started doing film stills in 2008, most of the things I’ve worked on still haven’t been released. It was very exciting [...]
