A donation to Big Brothers Big Sisters Windsor Essex

August 7th, 2008

As a part of my overall business practices, I make sure to donate to great causes, such as Windsor/Essex’s Big Brothers Big Sisters program. I visited their main site here in Windsor yesterday to make a $200.00 donation. I know that the money is going to help some kids have a lot more enjoyable summer! Take care all.

Model photos using design|house

August 3rd, 2008

Here’s a few shots I took in the past with a new twist to them. Graphic Designer Andy Armstrong has created a great set of photoshop actions with his design|house software. Among this set of actions, textures, and brushes lies his famous design|house DR action. This action and a series of burning and dodging was applied to the following photos.

Please leave me your thoughts, as this is still in the experimental phase. Thanks in advance!

A great video on Trashing the Dress!

July 29th, 2008

Us photogs have a cool expression we call “trash the dress.” This simply involves getting in a dress (usually wedding) and then just trashing it in a creative manner.

Here’s a great video of a photographer in South Africa who really did a good job at this, and got some amazing results. Thanks for looking!

Had a great time with Rachel. She’s one of Windsor’s up and coming voices in singing, and lots of fun to work with. Cheers!

Here’s a great example of amazing photography

July 10th, 2008

Katchlight Photography is a perfect example of how one can take a photograph and totally develop it into something bigger than reality. This is demonstrated through their work with the Cherry Dollface 2009 calendar. Check out the link below to see how this artist takes photos to the extreme!

Miss Lauren O’Neil

July 6th, 2008

Lauren and I have worked together off and on for over a year now. She’s a great model, and up for anything! Shooting with her is more like relaxing with a friend than actually working. For more info on Lauren, check out her Model Mayhem Profile: MM#358001

Had a great time at this shoot. Thanks again Lauren!

A quick totorial on how to remove objects

July 2nd, 2008

I found this on You Tube (my second home!) and thought I’d share it with everyone. It’s a simple technique that even the pros use to get rid of objects in photographs. Please leave your comments and let me know what you think of this tutorial. Take care.
