lee-side with josh ross

Got a chance to shoot with josh ross yesterday and we had an awesome time pushing each other. Josh and I banged off a few shots on this sweet quarter. Here's one of a few that I really like.

More to come!

skaters are flakes here's some fashion (j/k)

So I haven't had a chance to update lately cause of my inability to get out and get some skate shots. Buuuuut a couple weeks ago I had a chance to shoot a project for the publishing department in school here. It was a fun shoot that was a very basic setup but the model was great and the images really turned out well. We set up some black cards with silk organza in front of the model and cross lit the background to blow it out (make it as white as possible). The lighting in front was a single strip softbox. Also I set the color balance for tungsten for a certain look the we were looking for. Let me know what you all think.........

Back to life...Back to reality

Haven't shot a lot of skate lately but I have shot some promotional work for a local jazz musician and I'm really excited about it. This is Adam Thomas and a few raw images of his album that I shot, as well as a photo used for promotional work. We worked together on both the layout and the direction of this album. It was a very fun process and can't wait to work with him again. He plays all over Vancouver and I would encourage all of you to look him up and see where he plays next (http://www.myspace.com/adamrobertthomas) .

Go get this album

So Canada lost today :( Thats all i really got to say about that. On another note the other day a small crew of us went out skating. It was me, skinny tim, hippie rob and derek epp. Derek tried to get this crook for me but it was a bit of a tough one, so no go but we'll go back. Thanks for the skate guys it was a real blessing.

Olympics?

So the olympics are here, i've been out and about sniping a few shots. Its preety crazy out there, fun...but crazy. Yesterday I got a call from hippie rob and we met down at hastings for a little roll around. Not much was happening but it was good to get out and skate. Here's a shot of Nate lacoste just messing around with a tuck knee. I was just sitting and taking a few shots while chilling with the guys.

watch your back

So school is in full swing and this term i am determined to slow down and learn more (if that makes sense). Here's my next week assignment for my portraiture class where I shot bare bulb through the blinds that i had up on a c stand. I had a bit of a bounce camera right but other than that its one light and a little bit of post courtesy of luna nuhic and silver effects pro (best best best plug in for getting film like grain on your digi images). enjoy
