Thomas Pound

I was with Thomas on New Years and quickly took a photograph of him in the crazy crowds. At the time he was wearing the same coat/hat that he's wearing in the following photos but the original was out of focus - apparently I still can't focus a camera.

I decided to take advantage of the nice weather and get out and practice environmental lighting. This is what came out of it...

I did not use any gels for any of these photos. These lights just happened to be there. Kind of annoying to be honest.

I also finally updated my Strange(r) People project. Here's a preview image from the most recent entry...

I recently started shooting for a Toronto blog called BlogTO. I'm really excited about this opportunity because it may open a few doors I didn't have before. With it I will be getting back into shooting concerts and hopefully a few interview/portraits in the long run. You can check out my first entry on a local record shop here: http://www.blogto.com/

I've also recently noticed that you can see how many people have "shared" a link on facebook. I was pleasantly surprised to see how many shares a few of the my links have! Thank you so much to anyone who has reposted or told a friend about my work. It helps a lot.

Much love!

Goodbye Ottawa, Hello Toronto.

So, I've made it to Toronto.

After six days of saying my goodbyes to all my amazing friends and what seemed like almost continues packing, moving, and unpacking I finally made it. I haven't even been here for a week and I already have a good feeling about it all.

One of the worst things about leaving Ottawa was leaving the studio behind. Although I'm definitely going to miss it - I'm grateful for the fact that I did it for as long as I did. I got some decent images and was able to continue learning and practicing my studio lighting. Now it's time to work on my environmental lighting. I'm really excited for that.

I just removed my bookmark for the "OC Travel Planner". That felt good.

During the last few days with the studio I managed to do a few last minute shoots.

One of the shoots I did was with my friend Lexi. I noticed at a party of hers that she was making a corset and I thought why not photograph it!

Here she is wearing it herself!



I didn't include my signature on that one because I feel it throws off symmetrical looking photos.

We also took photos in an awesome dress she found...





I just noticed she's looking in the same place in all of the photos. hah

Prasheel stopped by the same night as the shoot with Lexi so we took a few photos.



He rides flatland and does stuff like this...



Alsssooo....

On my last night with the studio I decided to do a self portrait. I don't usually like photos of myself but this one isn't too bad.



I feel like I always look tired. hah

Okay, well that's about it for now. This week is going to be big for me - It looks like I will finally be getting my new camera. Expect a lot of photos.
