Plumes

Posted on June 17, 2013 | Comments Off on Plumes

A friend of mine forwarded my photo taking skills to this band, the Plumes who were looking for a photographer to shoot their next promo for their Canadian west coast tour. They have a great sound with lead singer, Veronica’s beautiful ethereal voice and Geof’s melodic composing.
I felt bad because I led them into some yucky wet mud. Sorry guys!Oh, and there’s a harpist in the band. Wicked no?

Timmins

Posted on February 25, 2013 | Comments Off on Timmins

Timmins Ontario wouldn’t be my first choice of destination but I was pleasantly surprised by the very kind and inviting people there. This was a shoot I did for re:Porter last year. I got to pet some moose and see the Shania Twain Center! I didn’t actually go inside though. I guess there’s a reason why it’s now closed.

Tremblant

Posted on February 8, 2013 | Comments Off on Tremblant

For this month’s cover of re:Porter for Porter Airlines, I was assigned to shoot a story about Mont Tremblant ski resort. It’s the biggest ski resort in the Montreal area.

I hadn’t snowboarded or skied in over 3 years before this assignment. Luckily my assistant was great on his skis so he happily lugged my camera bag. It felt weird to be back on my board but it all came back to me after a few minutes!

Alcatraz

Posted on November 2, 2012 | Comments Off on Alcatraz

On my recent trip to San Francisco, I decided to do the tourist thing and head over to Alcatraz Island. This old prison island has always been one of the places I wanted to go to. I love abandoned old buildings. Although they have converted this island to a natural reserve and a bit of a tourist attraction, it’s still pretty amazing the history behind this prison.

Northern California – Part 3 – San Francisco

Posted on November 1, 2012 | Comments Off on Northern California – Part 3 – San Francisco

This was my first time to San Francisco. I’ve always heard great things about this city and have always wanted to visit. I can honestly say now, if there was one big city I’d like to permanently live in (the U.S.) it would have to be San Francisco. Great weather, scenery, food, transportation and really nice people. What’s not to like? Here is me being touristy in SF. I’ll definitely be back again.

Northern California – Part 2 – The Coast, Mendocino and Muir Woods Forest

Posted on October 31, 2012 | Comments Off on Northern California – Part 2 – The Coast, Mendocino and Muir Woods Forest

Mendocino is a small town along the coast a few hours north of San Francisco. Muir Woods is a natural reserve park is an amazing place to hike. Northern California is, in my experience, the prettiest place I’ve visited in the United States.

Yesterday was the annual Infopresse LUX photography/illustration gallery/annual magazine launch in Montreal. I couldn’t attend because of wedding prep for this weekend. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that I won a Grand Prix for my Chernobyl series (http://willlew.com/blog/2011/04/19/chernobyl/).
Thanks to Infopresse and all the judges. Great way to kickoff a crazy weekend!

Daniel Audette for Sportsnet Magazine

Posted on September 21, 2012 | Comments Off on Daniel Audette for Sportsnet Magazine

There probably won’t be any NHL hockey this year but there’s always major junior hockey that we can look forward to. At least these kids (for now) aren’t concerned about fighting about millions of $.

Sportsnet Magazine assigned me to photograph Daniel Audette. He was selected first overall in the QMJHL draft by the Sherbrooke Phoenix. If his name sounds familiar, it’s because his dad is Donald Audette, who played in the NHL and for the Habs for a few years. Talent runs in the family.
