Editorial Assignment with Sonja Smits

In early June we were off shooting Ottawa-born actress Sonja Smits at her winery, Clossen Chase near Picton in Prince Edward County . It was a nice mix of tourism, architectural and portrait photography. Sonja was great...and even gave us a bottle of her celebrity wine to keep on our shelf...
I`m beginning to think this type of photography is some of my favorite work. Since I shoot editorial, architecture, groups, aerial, product, conventions, portraits, construction, headshots, corporate, advertising, lifestyle, stock, tourism, executives, photojournalism, portfolio, legal, medical and catalogue photographs...whew...it's tough to decide.

Guess I'll wait til I grow up.....

Executive Portrait of a BC Lawyer.

We photograph a lot of Judges and Lawyers.
I have done official portraits, event coverage and architectural
work for the Supreme Court, the Federal Court and the Tax Court
of Canada for over 30 years...



The way I see it..if a lawyer writes you a testimonial it should give you double bonus points...lol

Commercial Photographers...Who Ya Gonna Trust.

The web is a great place to compare services, but it has its limitations. It doesn`t take much to set up a website with a few shots that looks really cool.
The real test is Googling the actual names of a couple of photographers you like. Don`t bother with their own sites (of course we all make ourselves look pretty) Read what others say about them and where their work is published. You`ll learn a lot more than looking at pretty pictures...even mine.

Wanna play...start here!

Ottawa Life Magazine Editorial Cover

The current issue of Ottawa Life features our work on its cover . We had a great time shooting these stylish women in our studio and creating some cool executive portraits for the inside spread. I wanted to create a relaxed look and give it a fashionable edge. Preplanning the cover
layout was half the work....shooting the ladies...easy.

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.
