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.

52 Skillz with Stephen Robinson // Edmonton Portraits

I had a chance to work with Stephen Robinson who is the creator of the series called “52 Skillz”. It is the undertaking of an individual where Stephen decided he wanted to learn 52 Different Skillz across 52 weeks and boy has it been a journey. I met Stephen Robinson in eHub at the University of Alberta while he was working on some ideas for his new skill.

He is an extraordinary individual who taught me to challenge myself to learn something new everyday. In his quest to develop a new skill every week, he has been able to demonstrate the ability of humans to adapt and learn at an incredible pace.

His final project was to combine all of the 52 skillz he learnt during the year to make a huge Rube Goldberg Machine. I got a chance to see the machine in action and it was very impressive. Here is the video of the machine in action:

Katie Lynn Kaiser | Portraits | Edmonton Portrait Photographer

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!

Finally we started going back and just got these final few images!

Well anyway since you made it to these last few sentences, it means you are genuinely interested in what I had to write. Want to find out more?

Here just sign up for this email list! I promise no spamming just free goodies and some cool images every week or so!

52 Skillz Behind the Scenes | Photography Skillz

52 Skillz BTS – Photography

Stephen Robinson is an awesome awesome individual who decided he wanted to learn 52 skills over 52 weeks. He started this project never really expecting the response he saw from it. He has so far been featured on CTV (Canadian National Television Chanel) as well as on other media channels. You just need to see the videos he makes to believe what he is capable of.

Having met him at eHub at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada I got inspired to learn new skills myself. He recently told me that he will be doing the final 52nd Skill soon which will draw an end to the first session of 52 skillz. In order to commemorate the awesome ideas he has had and the final 52nd Skill we decided to collaborate to setup a cool photoshoot. I got a chance to have a look at the last skill (its a secret so don’t ask me to divulge) and very honestly it is one of the best things I have seen so far!

Its ridiculous in its complexity and execution. Its beyond something I had envisioned for sure!

Check out the fun video we had a chance to make from our shoot on his friend’s Vegreville farm:

(PS why is Vegreville so cold!!)

We got to play with Smoke Grenade (colored) and let me tell you they are beyond awesome to play with!

I am so looking forward to other shoots with these babies!

Contact me to setup your cool shoot!

Lisa Marie Couture – Mistress of the Storm

Lisa Marie Couture – Mistress of the Storm – Edmonton Portrait Photographer

“Mistress of the Storm” comes from the book by Melanie Walsh. It goes over the journey of a boat and its crew through a storm as the name implies. That gave me the inspiration to create this portrait concept.

There is nothing quite like taking an environmental portrait with an excellent team working with you. This was such an opportunity. Wizard lake provided us with the perfect blend of water and storm to create this amazing imagery. Environmental portraits represent some of the most challenging portraits that can be achieved as they are meant as a mix of both the subject and the environment in a complex manner that is not only complementary but almost symbiotic.

I collaborated with Lisa Marie couture to product this concept that I call “Mistress of the Storm”. Lisa Marie is a dress designer who makes these fabulous dresses for her clients (Brides).

In order to create this images Yara Sayegh assisted me! She helped us get setup for the shoot and then followed up with providing logistic support by making sure that my equipment didn’t blow away due to the severe storm prevalent at that time. For that I am grateful!

One of the funniest(and cute) thing that happened during the shoot was the fact that Jane was extremely cold and her friend and her Husband (Oleg) decided to make a human sandwich to warm her up! One of the photos is shown below of “the human sandwich”.

Date: September 7th, 2015

Jacques Wedding at The Alberta Art Gallery

Jacques Wedding Alberta Art Gallery – Sneak Peaks

Beautiful clear skies in Edmonton

Jean & Ornella’s wedding took place on the 4th of July, 2015. This couple decided to tie a knot and become one family at the Alberta Art Gallery. Below are some of the sneak peeks from their wedding formals.

You can also check out their engagement session at the Victoria Park, Edmonton right here! Jean & Ornella’s Engagement Session. These photographs were extremely memorable and some of them were displayed at Jean & Ornella’s wedding as well! Following the engagement session, I was extremely excited to photograph this couple!

Our sneak peaks give an opportunity to our valued clients to look at their photographs right after their wedding while the whole editing and selection process is being completed.

Formals in the River Valley

The wedding began at the Ornella’s house where she was getting ready for the big day! Following her preparation, we photographed Jean getting ready at his place. This was a great opportunity to take some candid and details shots of both the bridesmaids and groomsmen that you can check out on our follow-up blog post HERE.

Wedding Ceremony at the Alberta Art Gallery

Following the getting ready photos we went down to Alberta Art Gallery for the ceremony itself. It was a beautiful and simple ceremony where the bride and groom tied the knot and became one family.

Formals at Rundle Park, Edmonton

Right after the ceremony we had a chance to go down to the Rundle Park, Edmonton to take the creative and family formals for the bride and groom. During the family formals, we had to chase down a number of family members as they kept exploring the park (it was a huge family!).

Reception at the Capilano Center, Edmonton

After completing the family formals and the creative formals, we went to the Capilano center to get setup to photograph the reception, first dance and cake cutting!

Rizwan the Comedian // Professional Headshots Edmonton

Professional Headshots Edmonton

The professional headshot (also known as head shot)is one of the most recognized and well known type of photograph. It has been a classic tool for marketing yourself in the entertainment industry. It is often used by actors, models and other similar professionals to market themselves. They are also used by other professionals such as lawyers, dentists, doctors etc for their websites and other marketing materials.

Rizwan – An Aspiring Artist

Rizwan is an aspiring artist who is figuring out his acting career. He is also a comedian who works with local establishments to entertain patrons. He contacted me to create some headshots for him. Those headshots were then used for his portfolio and social media channels as well. I initially met this young artist at the local business development space called eHub. This place is a meeting space for young entrepreneurs like me and Rizwan.

Artist Portfolios

Working with artists is a great opportunity for me to meet some interesting individuals. As such, I always welcome the chance to work with artists for their portfolios. You can check out some of the other photos that I have done for models and other artists in my blog.
