Thank you Canadian Photography Online!

Here’s a cover image for the Montreal Mirror that I shot last week. Sean Nicholas Savage is a local singer/songwriter originally from Alberta. I showed up to Sean’s apartment on a Monday morning and used some great natural light.
The photo of him with the blue background reminded me of a Vincent Van Gogh self portrait. Too bad they didn’t decide to run it. It was my favorite from the shoot.

Back in October I got a chance to meet and photograph Philippe Falardeau for the Mirror. On top of being a great director, he’s also a super nice and friendly guy! His new movie, Monsieur Lazhar, was one of Canada’s official Oscar submissions.

Porter airlines puts out a beautiful inflight magazine, designed by Winkreative in London (England). I’ve wanted to shoot for these guys for a really long time. Here’s a story I shot for them at the Pierre Elliot Trudeau airport in Montreal.

I know I’ve been neglecting this blog for a while. I’ve been quite busy since moving back to Montreal. Hurray! Work! After a less than encouraging year (work wise) abroad, it’s been quite overwhelming to think that people will still call you even after being away for so long. Gotta love ’em clients!

Here’s an out take from a shoot back in late August I did for Expressions Magazine (car magazine). I was assigned to photograph Stephan Lebeau. Who is Stephan Lebeau you ask? Well if you’re a hockey fan, or more precociously, a Montreal Canadiens fan, then you’ll know he was a big part of the 1993 Stanely Cup winning Canadiens. It was a thrill to meet him. I told him how much of a fan I was and he let me wear his ring! I think I immediately reverted back into that 13 year old boy when I put it on.

And here are a few shots of Stephan and the advertorial for the magazine below:

Below is a series shot at Avmor, a company specializing in environmentally friendly cleaning products. Paul, shown in the images, was kind enough to show us around and gave a fantastic tour. Ended the tour with some great parting gifts. Best industrial/factory shoot ever! Haha!
The shoot was for “Your Business Magazine” which is a subset of Report on Business Magazine @ The Globe and Mail.

On returning to Montreal for a couple of months, I landed a few shoots.
One of which was a cover shoot with the Montreal Mirror shooting singer/songwriter, Katie Moore (www.katiemoore.ca). She was patient, kind and willing to go with my idea about shooting with animals. I couldn’t find live animals in time (especially hard when the bird she was holding is extinct!), so I found stuffed ones instead…
The Montreal artist has a new album out next week. It’s called Montebello.
