We were asked to create a trade show booth for Imperial Barber Shop in Ottawa. The task involved shooting the actual shop wall and creating prints that matched the actual chair from the
shop so that you had the impression that you were there.
Don’t try this at home kids….

Well, lawyers of course! We have created website and brochure portraits for probably half the law firms in town. As well, for some reason we have been chosen as official photographers for the Provincial Court, the Tax Court of Canada, the Federal Court of Canada and the Supreme Court of Canada. We even photographed the current Chief Justice’s wedding.
My brother has the best job though…Guess you could say he is Ottawa`s version of “Dog the Bounty Hunter” http://www.couvrette.ca/
Ottawa lawyers get along well with the Couvrettes…thank goodness.

We create a lot of portraits. I was a friend of both Malak and Yousuf Karsh and their work was part of what inspired me to enter the profession. In fact, an original Karsh print hangs right behind my desk.
This is a portrait of one of our brides from last summer. She is a soloist and needed a PR shot
for a poster to promote her upcoming Ottawa performance. I posted it because every now and then someone asks for a testimonial…here is her email to us.
Thank you for the best photos ever!!!!! I have not stopped getting comments about my headshot especially….people want to know where I got them done….Guess what I said….

John Ceprano is an Ottawa artist, sculptor, photographer and all round cool guy as well as being a friend of mine…This is his art.
It has been quite the month. Our work is on the cover of three different Ottawa magazines.
We finally had a few minutes to make a new print for our studio window on Gladstone. Isn’t it always the way…you plan to get those prints made, but life gets in the way…even for us. Makes me wonder about all those couples who purchase hi res files to make their own albums. A friend who owns the biggest lab in the city tells me its actually rare that couples make a real album with prints. Kinda sad and ironic at the same time. All that money spent on a wedding and 25 years from now their kids will wonder what people did with those round plastic things with a hole in the middle…
Oh well, this family had a beautiful print on their wall a few weeks after the session…its what we do after all.
Uniforms are great to work with and especially RCMP uniforms. Getting a nice red in digital
You can spend all the time you want looking at images on an Iphone, Imac, Ipad, Ipod or
Ipostagestamp…but nothing beats a black and white print on a wall for impact…nothing.
