Photo shoot with Percy

I am thrilled with my first Vancouver shoot at my new Lincoln Studio featuring a very handsome model with a killer smile, Percy.  The test shoot came out wonderfully and we will be doing a subsequent shoot in the the next two weeks.

Photo shoot with Antonio

One of my final photo shoots in Edmonton at the El Mirador -- there's always something appealing about a completely empty space and how the lack of distraction makes the eye focus on all the subtle nuances of light, line and tone.

I was thrilled to receive the following email a few days ago:

CONGRATULATIONS! On behalf the Visual Arts Alberta Association I would like to thank you for submitting your work for consideration in the VAAA Gallery’s 2011 Alberta-wide Open Photography Call for Submissions. I am pleased to advise you that you have been selected by the jury for the Juried Photography Exhibition scheduled to run from August 25 to October 02, 2011 in the Kaasa Gallery at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium located at 11455 – 87 Avenue, Edmonton. 

Visual Arts Alberta had over 66 Alberta photographers respond to this call with 327 images. 57 photographs were selected by 39 artists to be shown in the Kaasa Gallery in OPEN PHOTO 2011.   I am pleased to advise you that the jury selected the following image(s) from your submission:

Everytime I shoot babies or young children I have more and more respect for those who make a living from it.  Although this proved to be a great image, little Finn had begun teething just days before the shoot and we had to work hard to get him to smile.  But ... Mom always knows best.  Amanda pulled out her infamous tickle story and this was the result.

Three good reasons for a photo shoot ...
