Branding Photography for Professionals

Branding Photography takes great effort to be successful. On the business side of things, there are meeting for introductions, creative meetings around the boardroom table, meetings with human resources personnel for bookings and the director / owner's office for the big picture. All of these came together for this concept. I met with Tim the owner and an associate who were resolute in what they wanted. I was happily informed that after viewing the work of 12 other local commercial photographers that I was chosen because of my eclectic portfolio of images right here on akeyphoto.com, which spans multiple photography disciplines including some of my previous concept work.  We discussed the company's vision and agreed…

It is located on the Talbot Trail between Palmyra and Clearville. Taking It In Seeing it in…

Boudoir Photography – Kristen B

Boudoir Photography at ApS / Studio 511 - Windsor, Ontario Boudoir photography in my Windsor, Ontario Photography studio. You want beautiful, well-lit images. Images that evoke a feeling of passion and sensuality. This set is overflowing with all of the above! Thanks to Kristen for being my model for this set. The Studio I try and build simple sets in my studio. Small, simple sets allow me to focus on the model, her expression and connection to me and my camera. I have relocated the studio multiple times both in order to cut costs and I also noticed that changing things up gives a "freshness" to my images which may not have been apparent…

Abandoned House – The Talbot Trail – Palmyra, ON

Abandoned House in Southern Ontario On a recent drive out to the county, we came across this abandoned house. The Talbot Trail, also known as highway 3, is home to a number of abandoned and decaying houses. This one is on the Talbot Trail just East of Palmyra, Ontario. This is not the Guyitt Homestead but another home west of the Guyitt Homestead. Condition Sharon and I spotted this house on the way to another abandoned house on the Talbot Trail. I don't know how long it has been empty, but it appears to be under the process of being demolished. All of the windows and exterior wood had been removed and, there were…

Lighting Techniques – Light Tunnel with Nikki Leigh (NSFW)

Awhile back I posted a mini how-to on my Light Tunnel in Jen Rozenbaum's Boudoir Group on Facebook. Since then, I have been asked to do a blog post on it. I apologize for taking so long but here it is!  :-D Light Tunnel with Nikki Leigh Back in 2015, I got together with friend and local model Nikki Leigh to update our portfolios.  During planning, we agreed we would capture 3 looks with one of them being a nude set for submission. We met at my studio in Windsor's West side community called Olde Sandwich Town and worked through each look.  It is the final set, the nude set, where this technique was used.  I call it my…

Creative Portraits

While I don't usually wait for Halloween to do creative portraits, there is no better time of year to collaborate with people who like to get dressed up for Halloween's approach.

Product Photography – Amiga Fossil Watch
Amiga Fossil Watch by Ray Akey

Product Photography – Amiga Fossil Watch

Product photography is a genre of photography that I have been active in for a number of years, mostly contributing to traditional stock and microstock libraries and also working with local clients when commissioned. A number of years ago when I was working overtime hours as a software developer, web designer, webmaster and general Internet support person (way too many hats) for Amiga, Inc, a Washington Corporation who purchased the trademarks and rights to the operating system that was at the forefront of multimedia computing (see the Amiga Wikipedia article for more information), I received an unexpected package at the door.  The small box said Fossil on it but gave no clues as to what the contents were or from whom…

TF and Microstock

Fashion - Jojo on pedestrian overpass Really, it's just one sale today but one of many that add up over time.. A fashion image from the same set as the one pictured of friend and model Jo-Ann CarringtonĀ sold on DepositPhotos today. The image was created on 2010-11-29 in the late afternoon, on a pedestrian overpass on Huron Church Road in Windsor, ON during a TF shoot. As I'm working on business today, I am reminded to give thanks to those who I have worked to create portfolios by way of TF or "trade for" shoots.  The "trade for" aspect is a barter of time for time and images for all parties.  What this means is no…

Band Photography | Destroyer at Walkerville Art Walk

Band Photography I have always loved shooting band photography, whether live or promotional/studio images but I don't often get the chance due to time restraints. Also, I am a huge Kiss fan so it was nice to hear some of my favorite Kiss songs performed live by a band that sounds pretty darn close to "You want the best, you got the best, the hottest band in the world..." -> KISS! Art and Rock in Walkerville Walkerville's Art Walk and Rock took place on July 24-25 this year. Sharon and I took a bike ride down to check out the festival which always has good food and entertainment, and an ample hepling of artistic presence with art…
