Executive Portraits on location in Toronto

Here are the behind the scenes shots and final image of a series of executive portraits I shot for Magna International and CBC in Toronto to promote the Next Great Canadian Prime Minister TV show. I have been photographing PM's for all of my career and have done portraits of every last one...from Trudeau to Harper. This year, Alex Trebek was the host and I had time to shoot some great stuff with the worlds most famous game show celebrity. He is a riot off camera...so we had a lot of fun.
This is my fourth year shooting the portraits for Magna International and my third year shooting the show for CBC....and their trust in my work is warmly appreciated. Not many photographers get the opportunity to do the work I do.

The final shots appeared on the covers of 7 major Canadian newspapers today with my credit
displayed from Coast to Coast. Mom and Dad...this post is for you.


The candids were shot by my assistant Frédéric Solenthaler...as you can see...I'm happy to be
out of the limelight.

No...the canal is not open yet!

This is one of my shots from my my new site Ottawa Christmas Cards in which I feature some of my archive of images that individuals and companies can use for creating their own custom cards and email greetings.

Ottawa Architectural Photography

I now have a US agent for my architectural work..yippee. This was my first shoot for one of his clients, Marvin Windows. I traveled just across the border to Alexandria Bay NY to get this shot. I am looking forward to more of this type of work...its a peaceful respite from the madness of covering events and dealing with deadlines...though that can be fun too.

We are looking forward to finally getting my stock work online through my agent...when we get some free time from assignment work.

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.
