Photography, just like a muscle, needs to continually be tried, exercised and pushed if you want to completely exploit it for your creative mind. It didn’t take me long to realize, after getting serious about photography in 2011, that documenting weddings with my camera was all I wanted to do in life. One quick way …

Adventures in Film: Episode 11 (Kodak Portra 400)
I finally managed to take the old Mamiya 645 for a walk last weekend. It was cold in the city, but for some reason I didn’t feel it as much as long as I was looking for moments to capture. I had purchased a few rolls of Kodak Portra 400 in 120 format which were …
Montreal Sightseeing in the Spring
It seems like I’m squeezing all the free time that I have, before the wonderful wedding season kicks in full gear, to shoot as much personal stuff as possible. This past Saturday was an incredible beautiful day in the city and I felt like seeing a bit of life downtown, so hop I went with …
Adventures in Film: Episode 10 (Fuji Pro 400H)
As you may recall, the last time I used Fuji Pro 400H on both different occasions (when rated at box speed and then a stop overexposed), I wasn’t too happy with the results. That perception hasn’t changed with this roll as I shot it at box speed again, but this time inside a subway system …
Adventures in Film: Episode 9 (Ilford HP5 Plus)
After shooting with the ever so loving and grainylicious Kodak Tri-X 400, as well as the Ilford Delta 3200 emulsion, I decided to give this bad boy a try. This, ladies and gents, is what Ilford HP5 Plus looks like…with a bit of oomph in the contrast department (via LR4). When I scanned the frames, …
Printed Memories
NOTE: This post is derived from our albums page. I believe in the printed image. The way I photograph is so as to tell a story with each and every frame. I think that when the picture is held in our hands, there’s a deeper connection between it and us because our primary senses are …
Thinking Of The Vendors
There are many things that can help or hinder you when starting a business. One of the first things I did after registering my business was to work on a plan that would help me to concretize my passion for wedding photography into a career of its own. At this moment, photographing weddings isn’t something …
Adventures in Film: Episode 8 (Fuji Pro 400H)
Here we go again! You might recall my first adventure with the Fuji Pro 400H emulsion that I shot with the Nikon F5. The difference between these images and the other ones is that instead of shooting the film at box speed, I overexposed by a stop (ISO 200). Conclusion? I don’t really like the …
Adventures in Film: Episode 7 (Kodak Tri-X 400)
And so my photographic love affair with Kodak’s Tri-X 400 continues. I feel like when the composition demands simplicity, black-and-white is the way to go. Though I enjoy color, sometimes it adds more visual noise and takes away essence from what the moment wants to tell us. Have you ever had chocolate cake with extra, …
Adventures in Film: Episode 6 (Kodak Tri-X 400)
Stories. Telling stories and seeking the moments that make the stories is what drives me to carry my camera everywhere I go. There’s something about a still image that brings out the dynamics of the frame into life. Still, yes, but with a kind of motion, albeit visual or sentimental. That’s what I love about …
