Jack Layton’s Funeral
Here are some photos from Jack Layton‘s funeral this afternoon at Roy Thompson Hall in Toronto. People gathered along University Avenue to watch the funeral procession. Some were wearing stick-on moustaches. I haven’t read a count of how many people gathered outside of Roy Thompson Hall to watch the funeral, but I’m going to guess [...]
R.I.P. Jack Layton
As you probably already know, NDP leader Jack Layton passed away four days ago after his battle with cancer. This afternoon I headed to Nathan Philips Square and took some pictures of the memorial set up outside City Hall. It’s quite amazing. Almost all of Nathan Philips Square is covered in chalk messages to Jack, [...]
Make the Politician Work
Since most Canadians have politics on the brain due to today’s election, I thought it would be a good idea to post some film stills I did for the CBC/Gorilla Media television series Make the Politician Work. The series takes Canadian politicians and puts them in workplaces related directly to their own areas of responsibility [...]
New Editorial Files
Since I’ve been working so hard on adding images to my iStock portfolio, I want to start making weekly updates with my newly available images. Lately I’ve been focusing mainly on the new editorial collection. I currently have 76 editorial files for sale on iStockPhoto, out of 658 total portfolio images. My goal for this [...]
Urban Ballerina
These images are from a series I did with a dancer named Victoria Ellingham. Makeup and hair was done by Elisa Doyon-Vachon. All of these images (and more from the series) can be purchased as PRINTS from my PhotoShelter site. Many are also available for licensing via iStockPhoto. Someone purchased the left image on [...]
Kenneyville Premiere 2010/10/28
I haven’t updated in way too long! Here are some pictures from the Kenneyville premiere on October 28th, 2010 at The Royal in Toronto. (Look familiar?) A bunch of protesters showed up at the theatre… After the premiere, there was a Q&A with the cast and crew, and then everyone headed to Tattoo Rock Parlour [...]
Toronto Zombie Walk 2010
Today there was another G20 protest in downtown Toronto. Oh wait nevermind it was the 2010 Toronto Zombie Walk! (Boooo.) Here are some pictures from the Zombie Walk this afternoon. For previous years’ pictures, click here. You can view the full set on Flickr. Visit Flickr for more Toronto Zombie Walk pictures!
CIBC Run for the Cure 2010
A few weeks ago, I was contacted by the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation because they needed a photographer to do a couple of extra headshots for their Run for the Cure campaign. The bulk of the campaign was already done, but I took pictures of David Peterson, the UofT Chancellor, and Erin & Mike from [...]
Anne Marie
These are from a shoot I did back in June. I finally got some paper backdrops mounted and I wanted to play around with colours. The model is Anne Marie, and the makeup and hair were both done by Elisa Doyon-Vachon. Fun with hair! There are a few more on Flickr. I’m heading to Scotland [...]
G20 Protests in Toronto
Wow, what a day. The G20 summit is being held in downtown Toronto this weekend. Today, there was a “peaceful demonstration” planned. Approximately 4,000 people would meet at Queen’s Park, walk down University to Queen Street, then head West on Queen to Spadina, and then back up Spadina to Queen’s Park. You can view all [...]
Everybody Panic!
It has been a while! I have approximately one million new pictures to add to my site. I’ll start with this: Toronto Fringe Festival starts at the end of June! I recently did some pictures for a sketch comedy group called Apocalypse Later. Their show is called Everybody Panic! Here’s the description: Marcel Dragonieri, Jocelyn [...]
Automatic Toys
Here are some pictures from a band photoshoot I did … wow, two Saturdays ago now. Time flies! The 2-man band is called Automatic Toys (Myspace, Facebook) and they got in touch with me because they were throwing together a last minute music video shoot and wanted me to do some still photography. It was [...]
Your Heart: Works in Progress
I had another photoshoot with Your Heart on Wednesday night. They’ve grown since I took pictures of them last September: Now there are 8! It was hard to find a time for everyone to get together, and if you live in Toronto, you may recall that it was raining for most of this week. [...]
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 much [...]
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 natural light. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
