This is it! After many months of hard work, they have achieved a very unique milestone. Who might “they” be, you ask? They are Montreal’s own Sweet Talking Liars, and if you’re a somewhat fan of this blog, you might remember our band shoot last winter. This past Friday night, they released their debut EP, …
Portraits
My Mom and High-Speed Sync
Here’s a portrait of my dear little mom on her birthday. This image is actually a flash composite of which my wife (who was holding the light next to my mom as her sunglasses reveal…) was kindly erased from one of the layers. I knew a few days before making this photograph how I wanted …

Since picking up a camera in late 2010, I’ve noticed the power of human relationships that this little black box can bring to someone dedicated to the art of photography. From weddings, to engagements, passing by photographing a band and family members, I’ve never stopped taking each new shoot as a personal challenge to improve …

As a photographer, my job is to shape, play and work with light to capture something that my eyes deem interesting into a still format. When working with professional, talented and…hhmm…very beautiful subjects, well that job just gets easier and so much more pleasant. This past weekend, I had the pleasure of working with such …

Here’s a preview from today’s cold…very…cold, but extremely gratifying time with four amazing, genuine and young artists of the Montreal music scene. …
A Graceful Mom-To-Be

I spent most of today’s morning having a great time photographing my co-worker, Jon, and his wife, Grace, who is scheduled to deliver what obviously will be a very beautiful young baby girl in a few weeks. What I thought would initially be an hour long session actually turned out to be double or triple …
François, A Martial Artist and Friend
I met François at church back in 2003. At that time, I was practicing Karate with a club, and when I told him I was doing some form of martial art, he invited me to his house to experience a different style of martial art. And different it was! No katas. No kumites. With François, …
