Northern California – Part 1 – Monterey, Sonoma and Napa

So finally the wedding has come and gone and now it’s time to hunker down and start working again. But first, here are images from my recent trip to northern California (in 3 parts). Enjoy!

Infopresse LUX Grand Prix win

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

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.

WSJ Video featuring my photos

Here’s a video featuring my images with the WSJ: Wall Street Journal Video!

Wall Street Journal – Quebec City

Yes. It’s been a while since I last posted. Sorry everyone and especially to all the folks that follow. I’m getting married in a couple months and that pretty much takes away most of my personal time! I have new found energy and will be posting at least once a week if not more! Stay tuned!

Here’s a recent shoot I did for the Wall Street Journal! I was excited to shoot for such a prestigious newspaper. The story is in their weekend section titled “Off Duty”. The shoot helped me rediscover Quebec City again! It’s definitely a beautiful city! Enjoy!

Dark Forest

These trees were shot last week during a walk in Maisonneuve park in Montreal. The trees were lit by the soccer stadium lights across the street.

3 for 1

For this year’s Montreal Mirror BOM (Best of Montreal), I shot 3 local celebrities. Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois (CLASSE student group against tuition hikes), Chuck Hughes (chef at Garde Manger & Bremner) and Justin Trudeau (Liberal Party). BOM is pretty much what it means: Best of Montreal. Every year readers vote in different categories in Montreal Mirror’s Best of Montreal issue.

So here’s that double win I mentioned a few weeks ago. It’s finally up on the Applied Arts website. Check it out:

Urbania

Here’s a spread for the awesome local Montreal magazine Urbania. Always great content. Super happy to shoot for them.
The theme of this issue was “Hiver Québécois”.
