Dave and I had another great day shooting with our buddy Jaymz! We had a photo shoot set up with Tiffany who’s been a good friend of mine for years. Tiffany is super beautiful and she knows how to pose lol, which made my job a lot easier… Look out Canada’s Next Top Model!! We were going for a sexy and modern look which I think we achieved, I just wanted to get some beautiful shots of my amazingly gorgeous friend. I’ve known Tiffany since I was 15and I really really wanted to capture her outgoing,fun-loving personality as well as her beauty! Tiffany and I had an awesome time shooting together and I’m so happy that Tiffany was absolutely thrilled with her shots!


 

Here’s Charlotte rocking the ring flash mounted right onto her camera. It’s a seriously heavy rig, so it’s lucky Charlotte hits the gym regularly!

At the end of the shoot, James grabbed this great snap of the two of us :) I friggin love the ring flash.

Ring Flash Rocks!!!

Tuesday, April 29, 2008

After wrapping on Sunday, Charlotte and I jumped in front of the ring flash and Kevin Chan grabbed these 6 frames in a record breaking 12 seconds…. I think it’s such a cute story telling! We’re going to have it stretched on a canvas for the studio!

Studio Lighting Workshop with Jaymz

Monday, April 28, 2008

Yesterday, Charlotte attended a workshop run By James Van Hees at his amazing photography studio in Waterdown, Ontario. I was on board as a guest speaker/photographer for what turned out to be a very successful day!

James Photography + Jaymz Fotographie Studio, Hamilton

We had a fantastic day - I had a great time doing some of the teaching to assist James. Meanwhile Charlotte was participating with the class and doing some behind the scenes photography. She styled and photographed some of the shots… the following are her images… check out the Holt’s setup!

Jen had a ball playing with a Holt Renfrew bag and tonnes of shoes

We wrapped up shooting with a ring flash and had a great time playing around with Jen. She’s a blast to have as a model and was really into doing the wackier stuff. Check out this shot of me, James and a few of the other photographers!

Charlotte’s Portfolio

Tuesday, April 15, 2008

I’m very excited to share with you the photography of stylist, photographer and girlfriend, Charlotte Leonard!

Charlotte has been shooting weddings with me for the past 6 months, and we’re very pleased to be present some of her images to you.

Charlotte has a TV Broadcasting background, and has had a keen eye for photography for many years now. However it’s been amazing to watch her meteoric growth since we’ve been working together… I can’t wait to share more of her images with you soon!
