Anne Marie

Jen — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 17:47:28 +0000

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 in a few hours. In the meantime, check out the new additions to my iStockPhoto portfolio!

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 Geddie, Brandon Hackett and Ann Pornel (writers and performers for sketch groups Etched in Sketch, Colonel Mustard, and The Bob, one of Canada’s longest running sketch comedy revues) present EVERYBODY PANIC!, a brand new sketch comedy show about the difficulties of life and the uncertainties of the future. Sharp, witty and inventive, EVERYBODY PANIC! tackles issues like love, hate, friendship, debt and monsters: you know, real life.

They were tons of fun to work with and I can’t wait to see the show. (You should see it too! Buy tickets!)

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 energy and lots of fun to work with. They were posing even before we had the lights set up.

You can see more pictures on Flickr.

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. Well, I was wrong. Studio portraiture is fun.

This is Maria. She is a makeup artist and super cute model.

James

This is James, a dancer. Another model from my Photography of People class.

Ben & Andrew

Jen — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:31:54 +0000

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

Jen — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 17:42:24 +0000

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!

Danica

Jen — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 21:06:46 +0000

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 of my editing for class, so I’ll post more pictures soon.

Bring The Light With You

Jen — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 17:45:31 +0000

I went to Jr. Miller‘s “Bring The Light With You” studio session this past Saturday. I’ve never worked in a studio setting before, and it was really great to finally learn how to use strobes and pocket wizards and etc. Here are a few of my shots of child model/actress Kate Felstead. She was so much fun to work with! There are also a couple more on Flickr.
