I had the pleasure of shooting this lovely lady, Kristi Dawn, the other day to try some tricks with film. Before the shoot she heard I like moustaches so she brought these awesome glasses along and we shot a few extra pictures at the end.

Another from the recent test shoot with Hermela.

Every so often I organize a test shoot for myself to try new lighting ideas (like the textures of light in the top pose) and just to stay as in practice as possible. This is Hermela, an awesome new model here in Vancouver. It was great working with her and I look forward to doing a bigger shoot some time soon.

Another shot (My other possible favourite) from a  recent editorial I shot called “The Watcher” which was just published in full over on Assignment Fashion.

Model: Ashleigh Cameron

I have a new idea I’m milling about in my head, which is going to be more street/architectural. But due to the area of town I need to be more subtle with my camera. And as such I spent some time today trying out an old Twin Lens reflex camera, and aside from how to line up the 120 film inside to shoot the whole roll properly (THERE IS SO MUCH PAPER ON EITHER SIDE) it went well! Processed the film straight away after shooting it. Next step is to make some prints and see about the next step… painting… (yes, me painting, we’ll see what happens…)

I spent Thursday in the studio with a fantastic model friend of mine (Chloe) continuing the work on my beauty series. With the help of an awesome makeup artist, and my assistant Alison (who tragically is leaving at the end of the month to go back home to Ontario) I think I managed to get some really great shots. We slowed down tremendously and really fine tuned all the lighting for each pose. I also re-evaluated some of the poses in terms of their lines and symbolisms and I think (and hope and think and hope) that I got something really good. Now to head to the lab to drop off the film and see if it actually worked out.

New self portrait. What do you think?

Further adventures in the realm of test shoots. From time to time they send in one of their international models to help build their book in a more editorial way. In this case it was a last minute add on, and with about an hour to spare I threw together a quick set with what I had lying around the studio and did this shoot.
