Blog overhaul...?

I've created another blog with all the same posts from this one... I'm trying to decide which I like more. For now, I will keep both active.

Visit my new blog and let me know which one YOU prefer!

Here are a couple of shots I did for my cousin, Nicky last week. Nicky is a dance instructor in Montreal.
These photos are being printed as posters which will be used for advertising in Montreal.

More Alien Bees

Another photo from my quick Alien Bees test last night.
I'm posting this one for the "lulz" expression on Anna's face.

And to showcase her hot new red hair.

First Shots with Alien Bees

So after waiting almost two weeks on shipping, I've finally received my new Alien Bees strobes. Naturally, I had to test them out on my girlfriend, Anna (who appears in numerous photos throughout this blog).

I've noticed that when you upload to the blog, colour contrast seems to decrease a little bit, which is unfortunate. But I digress.

The above photo was lit with two Alien Bees B1600 strobes (MOAR POWAR). To Anna's left (our right), there is a large size softbox, and a very slight fill (I tend to go for dramatic ratios when I'm screwing around--yay for split lighting) with a gigantic umbrella is off to her right.

Junior Baseball

I shot the quarter finals of the AAA World Jr. Baseball Championships at Telus Field last week. Action shots from the first four innings, plus a portrait of Canadian manager Greg Hamilton (first photo). The two teams were Canada and Australia.

COMING SOON: Photos of the Cuban defectors!
