Portraits and Models! | Halifax Nova Scotia

It’s the slow season of the year. We meet clients, book weddings, meet families but there isn’t a whole lot of shooting required. So to keep my head fresh and ideas flowing I bring friends into the studio and shoot. Fun is always had of course and it feels pretty inspirational to snap off the old camera. Below are a few samples of the past few months of model shots.

Life is Beautiful

So I have shot with Jacqui a few times in the past, but they always tended to be darker themes. I think she got sick of them and demanded something bright and happy. I left the concept up to her and this was the result, pretty fun if you ask me!

Lady in the water!

The temperature here hasn’t gone below 30 degrees celsius for almost a week now. If you know me on a personal level you know I don’t deal well with the heat. I hate the heat! So whats the solution to the heat? Well normally the solution is swimming, so lets go swimming and do what I do best and take photos while we are at it. With no real plan or end goal we headed deep into the woods to a secluded lake I know off and brought along a few pieces of gear and just wished our selves the best of luck.

Karen and Joanna brought a few different outfits just to see what we could get and I think the images turned out amazing! A simple flash on a boom with am umbrella and Wala! It’s nice to just go out with no real plan, no real goal and just sort of see what you get, see what happens when there is no solid plan. That’s exactly what this was and what happened. I have been feeling really restricted as of late with a lot of commercial work coming in and the wedding season coming to an end. Some times you feel restricted and uncreative when you start to follow the guide lines set for you by the client and it’s just nice to go out and shoot what ever you feel like shooting.

so no matter how much work matters, or how much you need to pay that power bill, don’t forget to go out and just shoot for your self some time.

Orphanage Clothing

I photographed the Fall collection for Orphanage Clothing recently. This is a small selection from that fantastic shoot with some fantastic models and a great designer!
