New Movie Poster shoot

You will see this poster appearing all over town these days. We shot the motorcycle
and the actors in the studio during the last days before the snow fell. Having a ground floor studio has its benefits...

Ottawa Commercial Still Life Product Photography.

This is one of the most extensive retouches we have ever done on an image. On the web, it may not be apparent, but in print in a hi end fashion magazine, every pixel needs to perfect.
We built a light tent around the products and lit it with giant softboxes, but even then its a real
challenge to light a dome shaped silver item. This is the kind of shoot that gives new meaning to the phrase.."pain in the neck"...but in the end its nice to finally pull it off. Much credit goes to my digital guys, David and Jeremy and Mike for their work over the years.

Ottawa Life/Mayor Larry

My shoot with Larry O'Brien was fascinating. He was not at all what I expected and I
was impressed with his candor and resolve. Best of all, his wife walked up to me at a party
and told me she had a hundred emails saying it was the best portrait anyone had ever done
of Larry....wow.

This marks my 250th magazine cover....and probably my 50th for Ottawa Life.

Ottawa Photography Rental Studio

I thought I might show you my studio during an actual shoot. Somehow this makes the place look a lot smaller than it is....hmmn that cyc wall is roughly 35feet across. We are the only studio in the city with the capability to bring in large items like motorcycles.I am waiting for the first request to do a horse portrait....lol. We do btw, rent the studio out frequently for film and video and to save the many enquiries I get from folks wanting to rent it to snap their girlfriend..the price is $450day.

My fifteen seconds of fame...lol

An Ottawa U student, Hamed Tinafer decided to make ME his term project...and created a Wiki
page that tells the tale. Funny, he never mentioned my skills at poker and golf...oh well. But seriously, I was blown away by all the work he put into it...hope he got an A!

Welcome to my Commercial Photography Blog....

No, thats not me, its of course Rick Mercer in a shot I did for CBC this year at the Next Great
Canadian Prime Ministers shoot. It was great to see that the CBC began using it as one of its
key shots in promoting the show and Rick too.
