Winter Portraits with Tessa

Edmonton is Beautiful in Winter // Unpleast yet Beautiful!

One of my friends Tessa, who happens to be an excellent photographer agreed to be my impromptu model. We went out to this cool location on 82nd Ave where there is a bridge overlooking the river valley. We decided it might be a cool location to take photos in! During this time we created some cool portraits and landscapes!

She showed me some neat techniques related to landscape photography which allowed me to capture this cool photo of the road. Once we took some photos on the bridge, our cameras started getting cold and unpleasant to hold (wow that rhymed lol). We moved to a nearby location and tried to warm our hands, unsuccessfully. We took some portraits against some trees as the background. Following this, we went to Alexander circle which is this cool roundabout with a park in the middle.

I am so glad that I had the opportunity to photograph Tessa who is a fellow photographer in Edmonton, Alberta.

Destiny Ezurs Portrait Session in Downtown, Edmonton // Portrait Photographer

Cold day for cool portraits!

Destiny is a fellow portrait photographer who is absolutely amazing and works out of Fort Mcmurray, Alberta. She was travelling to Edmonton and I contacted her to setup a collaborative shoot with her last year. We decided we wanted to do some alternative portraits and head shots in the heart of Edmonton; Downtown. We met up near the 104th Street and then started the session. It was fairly cold that day (brave of Destiny to put up with that cold!!). We looked a little crazy lugging around a ton of photography equipment in the middle of downtown on a weekday morning but it was all totally worth it!

Edmonton Downtown

Edmonton downtown is, as the name suggests, the main business and commercial intersection of the city. It is also home to some cool architecture and grungy backgrounds. This is what we were aiming for when we planned the shoot so this was perfect! We eventually found this set of closed roller shutters that made for a perfect background for the following portraits!

Blue Plate Diner

Following the cold shoot, we went to Blue Plate Diner to have some lunch. This was a perfect reprieve from the cold. The soup at the Diner was perfect after that session of photography.

Fall Portraits in River Valley // Edmonton Portrait Photographer

Fall Portraits in River Valley // Edmonton Portrait Photographer

Creative Shoots

Improving my skills as a portrait photographer is a very big priority for me. This ensures that I am able to do my best for my clients. In order to gain new skills as well as to network with people, I often work on collaborative shoots that involved multiple creative individuals. These collaborative shoots are opportunities for me to use novel techniques in safe environment and improve my skills while creating some amazing artwork for all the creative individuals involved. Fall Portraits in the River valley was one such shoot. A number of individuals came together to create a shoot that was centered around the idea of fall colors (yellow, red, greens and orange) and the Edmonton River valley.

Fall Portraits

The colors of fall are undeniable the best part of the fall season (the slightly chilly yet refreshing winds would come as a close second). It is a favorite time of the year for families to renew their family photos, weddings to happens and in general it is a time for festivity. We decided it was an excellent time to use for some creative photography. Therefore Jane & Cristina braved the chilly weather as models while Liliana created some amazing costumes for them.

River Valley, Edmonton

River valley in Edmonton is one of the largest systems of parks in Canada and is easily one of the most photographed spots here. We chose this location due to its beautiful foliage cover and complex system of paths that we could use as an excellent spot to do photos in. The river valley looks equally beautiful in fall as it looks in Winter, albeit completely different. In the winter it is one of my favorite spots to take couples for their engagement sessions. In the fall on the other hand it is an amazing spot for family photos.

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”.

End Malaria Initiative at the University of Alberta // Edmonton Portrait Photography

End Malaria Initiative at the University of Alberta // Edmonton Portrait Photography

End Malaria Initiative

Malaria is considered one of the deadliest diseases in the world. This mosquito borne pathogen killed approximately 438,000 individuals in 2015. One of the most effective ways to reducing the diseases impact is by using preventative measure. End Malaria Initiative is a student run organization at the University of Alberta. Its primary goal is to eradicate malaria by providing mosquito nets to various villages in Africa. I had the privilege to photograph some of the executives of the student group for an upcoming event “iheart night”. The event is meant to be the largest fundraiser for the causes and last year along raised approximately $5,000.

University of Alberta, Edmonton

The University of Alberta is a major academic institution in Edmonton, AB. It is a center for research on various diseases including malaria. We choose this location as the background for our portraits due to the story behind the student group. Since the student group is based out of University of Alberta, it was perfect to complete the photo shoot there as well. We choose CCIS or the Centennial Centre for Interdisciplinary Science as the location. The large glass walls combined with the spacious halls made for a great location to create some amazing portraits for the executives.

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.
