The Last of Fashion Class

Well, this is the last set of pictures from Fashion Photography @ GBC.

These pictures were taken at High Park in Toronto. A great location, very scenic. Make-up is done by the lovely Leslie Grey and the model, the very beautiful and reliable Ashley. I met a lot of very nice and talented people and am glad to have had the experience.

From now on I'll need to find my own models and location if I want to keep it up. For now... I think I do. Its fun working with all sorts of people to make a good picture.

My next class, People Photography starts in Sept and I'll be reunited with my girl Lisa for this one.

For now I think I will go back to basics. Take my camera for a walk, meet some nice people with some nice dogs and hopefully get a chance to do some beauty shots for friends.

Queen Street Fur

At this point, I have finished up my fashion photography classes, but I'm way behind in posting the results.

In this week, we headed to Queen Street West to take some pictures of our beautiful models with some fur coats. One of my classmates was kind enough to pick up a couple coats from Value Village to help get the right look.

I'd say it worked. So thanks.

Stay tuned to see pictures from my last class photo shoot at High Park.

Fashion - Bohemian

For this week's class we shot in Yorkville and with a Bohemian theme.  I had made the final decision for the theme.  I enjoyed the theme.

One funny thing to note.  I just watched an episode of Zack Arias' photo critic videos and he and his wife went off on a guy for taking slanted pictures.  My collection includes a tilted camera shot.  Hopefully I do not offend the masses by including it  :P She is falling off the planet and she is enjoying it!   lol

The class today has been good.  We've been discussing portfolios and websites and I have to say I'm starting to get really excited with the prospect of taking on clients.  I don't feel quite as scared as I used to.  Next up - - build a website, hopefully using Dreamweaver.

Guest Blog on NerdBallon.com

I know I've been away for a while. I've got some fashion pics to put up (2 weeks worth) and I've just been lazy. Well... not even that ... I've just been playing a lot of Sims 3. I get home from work and the best thing I can think to do is play video games. I'm hoping that this obsession will start to dwindle. I've raised many children and screwed around with many people's lives, so hopefully I'll have the majority of it out of my system soon.

I just wanted to let you all know that I've written a blog as a guest on NerdBalloon.com. It is not at all photography related, but gaming is a long-time love of mine, so I'm letting you know about it.

You may remember NerdBallon.com previously mentioned by me, as I've supplied them with photos from a MLG tournament I attended.

So, view the blog here and be sure to check out NerdBallon's podcasts if you're a fan of listening to a group of guys chat about video games.

Fashion Photography - Metallic

In last week's class our theme was metallic. It was pretty slow starting, some of the makeup as you will see was pretty heavy duty. Leslie Gray worked on Ashley to create an "Ice Queen" look, and Ellen Jung gave Emily a gold metallic look.

I love taking pictures of the models when they have heavy duty make-up. It is lots of fun! Leslie and Ellen both did fantastic work this week (as always) and the models I worked with Ashley and Emily were fabulous as always. Lise was also there this week, but for some reason I have yet to take a picture of her. Next time I'll have to make a point of it.

There is no class next week, and the week after that we will be heading to Yorkville. I'm excited for that shoot for two reasons:
1) its a fun location
2) its close to home!

Fashion Photography - The Beach

In week 5, our class went down to the Harbour front and took some pics of the girls dressed up in summer wear. It was a pretty good time, but I have to tell you, it got COLD that night.

Here are a couple pics from that evening, including a surprise male model. He was such a good sport.

Fashioin Photography - Goth

Hello,

So I've been very lazy lately with photography. Mostly because I went on a volunteer build two weekends ago, and it messed up my scheduled completely. But I think that I'm finally back on track ... except for the fact that I got the Sims 3 last Friday and now all I want to do in my spare time is play that .... but still.... I think I'm getting back to reality.

Here are some pictures from my class 2 weeks ago. The theme was Goth. Ellen and Leslie did great jobs with the make-up. It was a really stunning week for them both. And of course, the models - Ashley and Emily were fantastic as usual. I didn't get to shoot Emily as much as Ashley that week - there never seems to be enough time.

I hope you enjoy them.
