From a recent portrait session

This head shot was taken for a head shot for a local business.

I set up 4 flashes to get this shot, 1 shoot through umbrella, 1 small soft box, one for back lighting, and 1 for rim lighting the subject a little.

I love experimenting with light and tweaking it bit by bit to get the shot!  I recently got a remote trigger, so I can do this on myself before a client shows up, to get a base line.  However all models/ customers/ clients are different so its important to be prepared to tweak your set up a bit when the portrait session begins!

Portrait shoot from today.

Ok so I picked up a new lens recently and here's a one of the candids from my test shoot with it.  I'm pretty happy with the shot and so is she!

Recent Wedding Shoot

Here's a couple recent photos from a wedding I got to shoot down in California.  Great Couple Great Trip!

Drive Days

Yesterday was the first Italian Drive Days on Commercial Drive in Vancouver.
It was a pretty cool scene with Street vendors selling soccer jerseys, sausages, pasta, hats, clothes, well a pretty diversified mix, which shouldn't surprise anyone as it is Commercial drive.  I think its great that the city closes of the street to vehicle traffic like this. It obviously attracts a lot of people, and business.  Here's a few shots from the crowds.

The coolest pizza delivery car in town:

Blue Heron Fishing!

This shot is part of a sequence I got on the weekend. We went to North Van to check out the North Shore Mtn bike Associations, Bike swap www.nsmba.ca . Met up with my friend James http://www.jameshealeyphotography.com/ and as it was a crappy wet Saturday decided that coffee and doughnuts in Deep Cove were the order of the day.  We went down to the Wharf to check out the crabs and critters on the shore as it was low tide and we had this Blue Heron land right next to us to look for a snack.

This photo was taken on my recent trip to California, and is a mild HDR compilation.
