Modeling Portfolio – Maia Parris

Meet Maia, an aspiring 16-year old model and actress from Windsor, Ontario! I was contacted by Maia in March to photograph a modeling portfolio for her. Previously, I photographed images for the portfolio of her mom, Carol Parris. Maia was impressed enough by our work with her mom that she contacted me to produce her first modeling portfolio. We arranged to meet at my studio to capture a selection of outfits and poses. Maia arrived at the studio with her stylists (mom Carrol Parris and sister Kiswanna Parris) and Maia did her own makeup. We proceeded to capture a selection of images in various outfits and options for Maia to choose from during the selection/editing process. With respect to editing, for a…

Creative Portraits – Cornrows

Creative Portraits Creative Portraits are a great way to express your unique individuality through makeup, wardrobe or a combination of both! Jojo, a good friend and sometimes muse got the itch to shoot and always comes with an idea! This time she suggested doing something with cornrows. I did some research and found a bunch of inspiration including the following from Wikipedia: "Cornrows are a traditional African style of hair grooming where the hair is braided very close to the scalp" "Depictions of women with cornrows have been found in Stone Age paintings in the Tassili Plateau of the Sahara, and have been dated as far back as 3000 B.C." "This tradition of female styling…

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…

Portfolio Images – Katelynn Durham – 2016-02-18

I have worked with Katelynn a number of times in the past. If you have looked through our portfolio images here on akeyphoto.com, you may have recognized her. Katelynn has returned to resume modeling a while after the birth of her first child. This time she wanted to try some implied topless nudes and also shoot in her "schoolgirl" outfit. Her red hair will definitely leave an impression on you. :) Below is a small selection of images from her session. (Click on any photo to switch to the full screen viewer )

Model Portfolio – Ashley

Model Portfolio - Ashley I have been mentoring new and aspiring models for quite some time, building their model portfolio, creating solid, usable and images worthy of publishing. Sometimes I work under the auspices of TF which gives me the chance to practice new photography, lighting and posing techniques or to affirm my grasp of techniques used previously. Ashley and I have been shooting TF and she is rapidly becoming somewhat of a muse.  We are still fairly new to working with each other but when I find a model who has ideas of her own to compliment mine and is appreciative of the model/photographer dynamic and the number of hours that go into quality image capture/creation, I end up working with that…

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…
