Broncolor (distributed by Amplis in Canada) has been very supportive of my creative experiments with light over this past year as part of The Chalmers Arts Fellowship I am undertaking. The new Bron.ca website is up with a section that will develop shortly highlighting Canadian Photography talent – worth checking out.
I photographed Iron Maiden in concert last night for The Globe and Mail. The image below was taken with a 70-200mm lens. I was lucky to catch it, as I was focusing on Iron Maiden’s Drummer at the time, and pulled back to 70mm just in time to capture Lead Singer Bruce Dickinson jumping off a speaker. Here’s a link to the article.
I spent the afternoon of July 1st on Lake Ontario sailing with a bunch of friends. Here’s a cityscape of Toronto I took while on the water.
Last weekend I was covering the G20 Protests in Toronto for The Globe and Mail. This was my first experience covering an event with such a huge media saturation. Below is a very large edit of images that encapsulate what I covered over the weekend. I have a lot of thoughts regarding the events that transpired. I was blown away by the speed of social media coverage (twitter), I was amazed at the images some Photographers were able to produce given the circumstances and speed at which events unfolded, and I am now fascinated with comparing all the different angles of key events captured by dozens of Photographers – particularly events I was present for. I hope to write more about my experiences covering the G20 in the near future, but am quite busy right now with some excited projects in development – so for now, here is a big edit.
Earlier this week I took a few cast portraits of performers of Toronto’s Soulpepper Theatre. Here’s one of my favourite – Actress Abena Malika appearing in the play ‘Jitters’.
A few weeks back I was helping friend and Photographer Arash Moallemi with a creative project for a makeup company. Arash’s creative had both a still and motion component, and was lit with HMI units – the full project should be released shortly. Here’s a behind the scenes image I took on set.
Last weekend I was covering Iggy Pop’s performance at Yonge and Dundas Square in Toronto as part of The NXNE Festival. Here’s my favourite photo from the concert.
I took a vacation last week down to Tennessee to check out The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. While I didn’t take my regular photo gear with me, I made use of my cousin’s point and shoot camera which had a great panorama function on it that I used to shoot triptychs all week. Here’s a few.
Yesterday I was at a cousin’s birthday party north of Toronto. I brought along my Canon 5DII and one lens – a 100mm f2.8. I’ve been shooting quite a bit with this focal length lately. Here are 2 images from the backyard party.
Over the weekend I had a Nikon D3S HDLSR that I was testing out. I’ve been a Canon shooter for a while – but am attracted to several features in Nikon systems that Canon lacks. One of the less pressing features, but still very fun, is the ability to create multi exposure files in-camera. Below are two images I shot while in Etobicoke.
