Toronto Acting | Modeling Headshots | Michelle

We were asked to do some head shots recently for Michelle for her future acting career. When we do head shots in the studio we usually ask the client to bring a variety of tops for a few different looks. Agency’s always like a clean headshot with a clean background, so we decided to use a grey seamless for Michelle to enhance her features. Michelle has such an easy going personality & photographs beautifully and it came thru in the photo shoot.   We wish you all the best Michelle in your future acting endeavours!

Eclipse Photography Classes

On a recent outing with our photography class we did some sunset/night photography down by the lake.
Living in the city you sometimes forget how beautiful our surroundings are.
We started down at Cherry Beach with some beautiful light in the sky & kicking off the water.
5 minutes from downtown but so peaceful.

Once the sun had set we then did some great skyline shots of the city.
Some of has tripods which enabled us to do longer exposures & get more depth to our photos.
As we were shooting for about 1 hour , there was a group of guys that pulled up in their sport cars.
Blasting away their music with their cars running , we were able to get the light coming off their headlights which added some interest to the dark edge where the ship was resting in the water.

Toronto Wedding Photography |Red Rose Convention Centre | Hiral & Bobby

I first met Hiral & Bobby back in July 2005, they had contracted me to photograph their wedding in

Toronto of October of that year. The wedding took place at the Red Rose Convention Centre in Mississauga. Hiral looked amazing in her traditional wedding gown along with Bobby looking pretty sharp himself.


Fast forward 3.5 years later & Bobby called me up looking for a personal gift for Hiral to celebrate their upcoming birth of their 1st child. We then photographed Hiral by herself & included Bobby in some photos also. We did some traditional photos at first then we wrapped Hiral in some black tulle to let her dark exotic features come out. I wish the both of you the best with your future family :)
