Creative Photo Shoots

Creating inspired art requires constant reimagination and the ability to consistently improve your skills. In order to improve my ability to take portraits, I collaborated with a number of amazing vendors in Edmonton, AB. This include the beautiful model Ashley Prasad and the hair and makeup artist Riti Jain. It was a

I had a chance to work with the beautiful model Ashley Prasad who was adventurous enough to venture out in the cold with me one a journey to the river valley. Here are some of the result o the shenanigans.

Riti Jain of Hair and Makeup by Riti did an amazing job of the makeup!

The photos below were based on a concept edit since I have been working on some new editing and compositing techniques. The whole shoot was based around the idea of the use of the lantern that you see in the image.

In order to expand my technical skills and to have some fun, I decided it was time to collaborate with some of the other people in the local photography community. This is where I went on to Model Mayhem and got in touch with Katie!

I had no idea what I was getting into….

We planned out the shoot with some vague guidelines and thoughts along the idea of: modelling, posing, Sue Bryce etc. We had a lot of keywords floating around but no clear idea on what we wanted to do really. The location we decide upon was the Terwiliger Dog Park near Rabbit Hills, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. We rolled into the park around 5 PM and started walking towards this “cool” spot which Katie had been to earlier. Let me tell you, it was quite a walk!

Anyway. Following that we started setting up the shoot and in rolled the wind. The wind sent one of the flashes crashing down with the umbrella and I decided I will go “all natural light” for this shoot (personally I LOVVVEEEE using flashes!).

We setup to near this winding path and we got these really cool images! :

Following the path, we went further down the rabbit hole (you get the reference? If not you need to read some books my friend). We found this alcove and then got the following cool iamges:

As you can see, I went a little ham on the editing side of things here but that happens sometimes when you  are distracted….

As I had mentioned earlier, I had no idea what I had gotten myself into… Well what I meant by that was not only did I get a chance to work with this awesome model but I made a friend who shared my love of books and was an awesome gardener as well. She led me further along these tracks and finally to this ravine that touch the river! Oh boy that was perfect timing since we caught the sunset!

Here are the images from that spot!

Much as I would like to say that this process is simple and sweet, it’s not. Its fairly complicated and requires a long amount of time which is why it can take up-to 4 weeks for viewing session to happen (keep in mind each photographer is different and it may take them a different amount of time to complete the edits. A common number that I found in my research was 6-8 weeks for other photographers.)

Michael & Ying’s Wedding in Muttart Conservatory, Edmonton, AB

Michael & Ying’s Wedding Muttart Conservatory, Edmonton, AB

Trusting someone with your wedding photos is a big deal and I treat it as such. Michael & Ying hired me to do their wedding photos for their moderate ceremony in Muttart Conservatory. Being the middle February, it had a certain wintery charm to it that you will see in the photos. The wedding took place on 16th February 2015.

Wedding Slideshow:

None of our weddings would be complete without this signature slideshow that showcases some of the photos from the wedding day:

The wedding ceremony took place at the Muttart Conservatory. It was a simple yet beautiful ceremony that involved a unique sand colored ceremony. The bride also wore a red wedding gown which is quite different from the conventional white. It looked absolutely gorgeous again the white snowy backdrop of a wintery Edmonton. Michael & Ying met at the Universtiy of Alberta while working together on a project. Their story did not end there and they ended up starting a family together.

We went down to the Legislature building to take the formal photos for the bride and groom. It was a majestic and beautiful backdrop for the photos. The architecture of the provincial building combined with the snowy landscape gave us the opportunity to create some amazing images. At one point we were almost frozen down to our toes but thankfully the bride and groom survived without any form of frostbite 😛
