28 August 2008 - 23:51Summer

What an amazing girl,  what a great shoot!  You can never complain when you get a tall buxom intelligent beautiful blonde to shoot.  Mind you, i’ve been chasing Summer down for about a year to come in and work with me.  Hopefully these images will give her modeling career a nice start.   

I call this series ‘fallen angel’  i thought i would revisit this concept i had begun a few years back. . .except for the ‘dirt’,  this images reminds me of one of the Hed Candi albums. . .look familiar?

I love shooting around my neighborhood!  This was a car a few blocks down from my studio, the owner leaves it unlocked and available for me to shoot models in,  i wonder how many more i can find round the hood?

This image was actually taken at the beginning of our shoot,  I use the ‘constraints’ of headshots to get my models used to the studio with limited movement.  This also gives me time to try a variety of lighting styles to see what suits their looks.  I actually had a harder time initially lighting Summer because everything worked on her and i just couldn’t decide which way i wanted to go. . .

How can you argue getting an End of the Day  image like this?  Thanks Ingela for your camera skills!

8 August 2008 - 20:19Porsche ad filmed at BWP

Porsche has recently taken over Vancouver on on the same level as a small movie production. Helicopters have been filming Cars racing over Granville street bridge, Neighborhoods are closed off for street scenes, and the studio was packed with grips, directors and assistants for an all night shoot. Apparently this will be an 18 minute commercial, but i’m not sure where it will air. Production started at 7pm and went to 10 am the next day . . . talk bout a long night! You can see it all in this high speed video:

Heres a quick walkthrough starting at the end of the street. At around 1am I ate dinner with the crew on the street in front of a neighbors building. . . that felt a little surreal eating candle lit steak in a makeshift outdoor diner on 5th ave. For such a big production, thankfully they were well organized and had some really great people. You get a sense of how hard they were ‘working’ in this video:

7 August 2008 - 14:05Dussault – Crushing the Competition

Its never a dull moment when the Crew from Dussault come down to the studio.  I love the constant range of creative concepts they are constantly coming up with.  This was essentially a studio photoshoot in the high key set.  I have a nice large piece of fake turf  for everyone to pose on which made an easier transition to the simulated grassy field.  Don’t worry,  the blood was digitally added. . . no models were hurt in the production of this ad!
