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.

This is a shot (possibly my favourite…) froma  recent editorial I shot called “The Watcher” which was just published in full over on Assignment Fashion.

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.

I’ve been shooting model test shots a lot lately for a local Vancouver agency. Its a lot of fun, primarily because I get to practice and test new ideas in lighting, posing and set dressing. This shot is pretty simple in the grand scheme of things, but I like it.

This was a kind of funny situation, still with Beth letting my play with lights, the first shot with crazy colours was what I was going for, the second shot returns to my usual simplicity simply because the strobes hadn’t recharged in time. Can’t decide which I prefer! Thoughts?

I’ve recently been working on a new collection, hopefully for an exhibition, which are figure studies with poses taken from classical stories and mythologies. It’s been a lot of fun thus far, not only researching, but developing a super minimal lighting style to match. This is one of the test shots (one of my favourites), and I definitely still have a lot of work to do to really make the images pop. (This is also just a photo of the negative against a slightly diffused window which is where the lines come from). The next step will be fine tuning the lighting for maximum minimalism, and from there its in to the darkroom to start producing prints.
