Shooting Swimwear on the Lake

Shooting swimwear with Lizzy I had a fabulous time shooting swimwear photography with Liz on Lake Erie this summer! We took advantage of the available light and captured this amazing set of swimwear images. The tides were low. This allowed us to access many parts of the park that are usually too deep in water for access. We hope you enjoy this peek into the activities of the day!

Winter Portraits – Jessica D’anne

Winter Portraits with Jessica at Windsor's Malden Park. Earlier in the week of January 17, 2019, Jess expressed interest in a winter/snow shoot. I thought about locations and decided to give it a go and use Malden Park, which has a beautiful pine/evergreen forest on the rear side of the park. I met Jess at Malden Park to photograph a series of photos in and around the pine trees, using only the light provided by mother nature. It was a wonderfully overcast day and everyone was very happy with the results. Equipment Used Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art - Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens for Canon EF (321954) Canon EOS 5D…

Model Photoshoot – Portraits and Boudoir

A model photoshoot in the studio with Jessica A collection of portraits and boudoir images from a recent model photoshoot with Jessica. I worked with coloured backgrounds and gelled strobes in the studio to create different looks. Gels are used to change the colour of the light striking the model, background and/or both. Using gels affect the styling of a photoshoot. Here is a small set of images from this model photoshoot with Jessica. Click on any thumbnail to enter the image viewer for a larger view.

Creative Halloween Photoshoot – Dee Style

A Creative Halloween Photoshoot with Dee I recently worked on a creative halloween photoshoot in my photography studio with Dee Style. Dee was one of the models featured in a previous collaboration titled "Calaveras." Dee is an amazing makeup artist who loves to do costume makeup for conceptual imagery. This time, Dee wanted to do evil clown makeup, so we set a date and agreed to meet at my studio. The plan was to shoot on a grey seamless backdrop and then use Photoshop compositing techniques to create a series of digital art portraits. The day came and I met Dee at my studio.  We shot for a little over an hour and a…

Guess Fashion – Ornella

A shoot in Guess Fashion with Ornella  One of my most favorite ladies to shoot with, Ornella. She is pleasant, honest and a beautiful woman with entrepreneurial drive. Ornella and I got together in my former studio on Pelissier St. to shoot some fashion images. Ornella brought Guess fashion items to shoot in.  She never disappoints with her choices. My former studio was located in the Chelsea Apartments building in downtown Windsor. It had an upright piano and two large antique windows.  I loved the richness of this environment and would love to find another studio with large windows. Nothing beats large windows for a natural light option. We worked for about an hour…

Boudoir Photography – Jessica

Boudoir Photography in the Studio Boudoir Photography is one of the most requested genres of photography I participate in. It is also one of the styles I have practiced most. I don't know of a beautiful woman or handsome gentleman who wouldn't like sensual, desirable and sometimes overtly sexual images for themselves and/or someone special with which they share their closest sensual moments. Every now and then I work with models to create images that I use in my portfolio and in blog posts such as this one. The reason for this is twofold; first, not everyone wants their boudoir images posted on a public website. I am very sensitive to privacy issues. I…

Swimwear Photography – Point Pelee – Shelby Lee

Swimwear Photography with Shelby Lee I like to do as many swimwear photography shoots as possible during the spring/summer seasons. As with many of my beach/swimwear shoots, I love to use Point Pelee National Park. It has many beaches on both east and west sides so morning or evening, the light is useable. We just pick the beach based on sunrise or sunset. My model on this day was Shelby Lee, a gorgeous blonde model who needed images for Maxim's Finest contest. Shelby was super easy to work with, had previous modeling experience and was very receptive to suggestions with posing and expressions. I will definitely be working with Shelby again! Lighting the Shoot…

Protected: Swimwear – Point Pelee

Swimwear with a Gorgeous Blonde Model A swimwear shoot is almost a requirement for anyone serious about modeling. It is the perfect way to show off your figure without being too racy. This model and I have collaborated more than a few times. This time, we decided to do a swimwear shoot at Point Pelee. I do as many swimwear shoots as availability and time permits during the warm months. Finding a Spot We arrived at the beach we intended to shoot at and were immediately shooed away by a family who reserved the beach for the day. We visited two of the other West beaches to see if we could shoot without being…

Model Portfolios – Swimwear – Natalie

Model Portfolios I sometimes work on model portfolios with both aspiring and experienced models. It gives me a great feeling to know I am in some way helping someone else achieve their dreams. Swimwear With Natalie Natalie expressed interest in working with me after our first shoot together at Brunet Park. As I have been looking for a model with Natalie's features and natural beauty, she would be perfect for a beach shoot.  It just so happens that Natalie asked if we could do a beach shoot, so we set up a date and planned to meet at the Marsh Boardwalk at Point Pelee National Park. The Photography Plan My first shoot with Natalie…

Beach Portraits – Kaylee – Point Pelee NP

Beach Portraits with Kaylee The subject of today's blog post is Beach Portraits with Kaylee. As with many of my recent subjects, I met Kaylee on social media. We have discussed maybe doing a shoot a couple of times but never met in person. After I posted an availability notice on social media, Kaylee expressed interest in a beach/swimwear shoot. We booked a date and decided on the beach at Point Pelee National Park. Canada's 150th When choosing a location, I figured, why not Point Pelee? The park is free entry for Canada's 150th birthday with celebrations throughout 2017 and free National Parks entry. I have a National Parks pass for the year. Motherhood…

Original Cult – Ashley Ellery

Original Cult - Fashion with Ashley Ashley and I worked on some alternative fashion photography for our portfolios. She had this cool Original Cult convertible dress. We just had to use it for this shoot! Locations We decided to drive around and scout some locations that would suit the look I was going for. For location #1 we started in the far east of Windsor and used the exterior of a public works building. After shooting a set of options there, we relocated to some unused railroad tracks beneath an underpass and captured another set of images. Our third and final location was the pedestrian overpass on Huron Church road. Insight An insight into…

Natural Beauty – Natalie Laliberte – 2017-07-016

Natural Beauty I met natural beauty Natalie, a young model from Essex County, for the first time when I arrived to this photo shoot. She has this amazing hair and a girl next door, freckled face that just screams photogenic.  Natural light I preferred natural light for this shoot because of Natalie's natural beauty and curls. We began around 6:30pm. We walked around the park stopping wherever the light was good. I don't stick in one place too long as I like a variety to choose from. Brunet park We previously agreed that the shoot would be in the tallgrass at a local park. After some scouting, Brunet Park seemed to be the best…
