Through the Plexi Glass

Scratches, light reflections and uncomfortable poses... all challenges when trying to shoot below a model and under a one inch piece of plexi glass... not to mention supoorting a model and an extremely heavy piece of plexi 6 feet off the ground without crushing myself and expensive camera gear!

I recently shot this perspective for 2 applications, Avenue Magazine's May style issue and personal work for the Studio's "Muse" show.  I wanted to show a different perspective playing off a previous idea of "resting places". The goal in both instances was to make the model look at ease in the pose but also to make the viewer take a second look at what was going on.

Here are a few from the Avenue shoot followed by the Muse show shots. Special thanks to Carl Abad (Styling Avenue), Alicja Wilkosz (HMU Avenue), Teslin Ward (HMU MUSE), Anders Knudsen (AD Avenue), Hannah (Avenue - Mode Models), and Marlo (Muse - iModel).

Contessa Finalist

Congrats to Phillip Elliott who yet again was a finalist in this years Contessa contest. Phillip was up for mens hair stylist of the year. The images below are a selection of ones we shot and entered in the contest. Styling was by Carl Abad and clothes were provided by Henry Singer. Thanks to our models who braved the clippers.

Alberta Ballet

Here's some new work I did recently for this months issue of Avenue Magazine. We got a behind the scenes look at Alberta Ballet's new production Fumbling Towards Ecstasy which is a collaboration with Sarah McLachlan. The ballet is inspired by and choreographed to her music. This was a fun shoot and interesting to see the work that goes on behind the scenes. The costumes are created by Paul Hardy specifically for this production. Congratulations to Alberta Ballet and everyone involved, this looks it will be a great show!
