A Touch Of Class









After a relentless search to get these pictures back, I finally have a chance to show them off to you all. The two out of the four guys from "Keys To The VIP" came by to York to promote a new contest... Canada's Best Wingman... Go figure... and they were kind enough to allow my photo editor and I to take some nice stills.

I remember once someone had told me, "It's not how you take pictures, but who you to take them of."

Let's hope this is a start of things to come.

Practice Before The Practice













My Make-up Artist and I went back to Megan's studio (http://www.meganstudio.com) for a couple of drinks of Jack and a quick practice photo shoot.

Hope you like it.

Headshot Shoot Shot... Shots...







A few days ago, another good friend of mine had asked me to take some head shots for him. It was for a competition he was participating in and so, we went out for a stroll and these are what happened.

Picture Day


The boys from "Keyboards And Clapping" (http://keyboardsandclapping.blogspot.com) had asked me to take some corporate head shots for their website, so I thought I'd organize something at Megan Wong's Studio (www.meganstudio.com) yesterday evening.

Unfortunately, something happened the night before and... well...

The Old Days

I remember some time ago... I think it was around when I was doing my very first short film... A very good friend of mine and I had gone out to the east end and took some pictures. She was kind enough to lend me her spare camera... Which was a Pentax film camera... and we just went at it.

Film has always been awesome medium if you had the money: Buying the film, shooting the film, processing the film... If you screwed up one part of this process, it would only cost you more money to do it over again. But that was always the thing... Film required skill and talent. The kind of thing that made you do it right the first time.

At the end of the day (In my opinion anyway), digital photography and digital film-making ultimately gets broken down into one advantage and one disadvantage:

The Advantage: Anyone can do it.
The Disadvantage: Anyone can do it.

I digress.

Sometimes, with digital, you can't always tell the difference but here, the pictures appear to be a little more "soft" in texture... If you know what I mean.

Anyway, the following shots are the result.
