Swimwear Portraits – Kristy Lee @ Point Pelee

Swimwear portraits at Point Pelee National Park with model Kristy Lee in a Guess Bikini. Kit Swimwear portraits.. spring, summer or fall my beach kit is simple. When shooting swimwear and thinking lenses, the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS is my go-to for beach/location portraits. The compression at 200mm is absolutely amazing as is the bokeh at f/2.8. It should be interesting to see what the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 ART can do in 2017 when it gets warm enough to be on the beach and not turn into a human icicle. Lighting As a backup to natural light, I typically bring an Alien Bees B1600 and the Alien Bees 22" standard white beauty dish. I typically teeter back and…

Location Portraits – Playboy model Krysta Lynn

This was our first location portraits shoot with Playboy model Krysta Lynn. Krysta is a beautiful, friendly and outgoing model with a will to succeed. She has realized some of her Playboy aspirations and we believe she will succeed in all of her endeavors! I left the choice up to Krysta for shoot #1 to decide where to shoot. Krysta's choice was a location shoot, a green park if possible. I frequently use this park in Lasalle, ON so Krysta and I met there. As I mentioned previously, location portraits with natural light is one of my favorite ways to photograph people.  Nothing is more fun than a day with a beautiful subject and not having to worry too much…

Portraits – Nelly – Point Pelee Marsh Boardwalk

A few days ago, we met Nelly to shoot portraits on location at one of my favorite locations, Point Pelee National Park. While my main goal was to shoot bikini images for submission to swimwear magazines, I wanted to also shoot a set on the boardwalk. The boardwalk is rich in wood and natural background textures so the images always come out stunning. A little bit of Photoshop magic to polish off the set is all that is required for my natural light style. Below are a few images from the boardwalk set.  If you like this set, send me a message or comment on and/or share images you like (please credit me when sharing) and I may be convinced…

The Chair

Location Portraits with a Gorgeous blonde model. We got together after tossing around the idea of ​​shooting some location portraits in a field with a red chair. It just so happens that I have a running series featuring a red velvet chair and suggested we do a small set for that series. So, we met at a local park and captured a whole collection of images including a few favorites that I have included in the gallery below. I will be posting more from this shoot not associated with the chair. :)

Penthouse Photoshoot with Sexy Brunette Model at Caesar’s Windsor

Penthouse Photoshoot with Ornella Boudoir Photography is one of my favorite genres to photograph. I have a lot of exprience shooting boudoir images since I began learning lighting and really delved into this genre early on, with the help of my wife Sharon who was my model for the first 5-6 years of my journey in photography and lighting. I get a great sense of accomplishment and personal achievement in knowing that we deliver the best possible images we can to women who want images of themselves as gifts to themselves or their spouse, boyfriend or special someone. I recently worked with a local model in a luxury penthouse suite. I wanted to create a…

Portrait – Misty on Location

A portrait of Essex, Ontario's Misty Renaud at the Essex Train Station. Portrait Photography Portrait photography is the genre of my craft that I have practiced most. I began learning how to light people in 2003 after purchasing the first Canon "Digital Rebel" (the Canon 300D) and began working with my lovely wife Sharon. I am still learning new ways to light and capture everyday. I progressed to working with local models and have been active in model portrait photography since 2008, working with local models of all types. Being able to work well with models is especially useful when I want to try new photography or lighting techniques. Most times we get together to update our portfolios, which show samples of what we can…
