JAMES HODGINS PHOTOGRAPHY

Today I had the great privilege of photographing  Louis L’Allier PhD  Associate Professor, Classical Studios at Laurentian University.  Louis needed a photograph of himself to grace the next cover of   www.avoslivres.ca/magazine.  He also wanted something for himself to use as his own bio pic on the back of his published books and works.    Louis picked a great room attached to the L.U’s Library that provided some great ambient light along with some warm incandescent backlight.  I opted to mix the ambient with some Off Camera Flash to create an image where Louis would “pop” out of the frame, but still have the background compliment the rest of the image without being distracted.  I’m not sure which image the magazine will use for their cover, but the below image is one that Louis and Myself liked for his own use.  The book in the portrait is a  very old (hundreds of years) Greek Book that is part of the Greek History Louis Loves and teaches.

Well there are no roses around here now, not even snow LOL.  We slowed down this week so that we can visit some friends and family and I have my new point & shoot camera with me at all times now.  Lumix GF2.   It’s great to be able to grab a few scenery shots just for my own amusement.  Here is one from yesterday of Duschenay Falls North Bay.

When the Kolar Family came in to view their images from their session earlier this week, we decided to photography Baby Mila on High Key White to show off her new hat. We could only get her hand out of her mouth for maybe a split second before she shoved it right back in there.  Well, why fight it?  If that is what she likes,then that is what we are going to capture.  Personally, I prefer the hand in mouth look myself.   (I’m more known for foot in mouth myself).

For the vintage details check out our
PIN-UP PERFECTION DAY EVENT

Pin-Up Perfection Day  IS Saturday March 27th, 2010
(by appointment)

There are only 8 openings left for this day so you need to call and book your slot.  Call Jocelyne at 705-693-0654

Our Pin-Up Perfection Sessions are a completely different experience from our other sessions.  Oh, don’t be mistaken, you still have fun, you will still laugh, and you will walk away with some amazing images, but you will also be creating a timeless image of yourself. One that will be completely different than any other images you may have of yourself.  Your Pin-Up Perfection image will show a side of you that hasn’t been captured before and one that your family and friends will be jealous that you had your image created before them.

5 REASONS TO BE A PIN-UP PERFECTIONIST

1.  Because  your image will be colorful, exciting and something new.

2. You always knew you had it in you but never had a chance to express your Pin-Up “attitude”.

3. It will make a great gift for your boyfriend, or husband
(who wouldn’t want an Iphone pic of you?_

4. It’s another reason to get your hair & make-up done and leave the house.

5. You will look HOT!  We promise.

Because some people are just impatient. LOL We luv ya Nat.

It’s going to be a very busy Spring for me as I am proud to present two kickass workshops and programs located Across Canada and one in the Windy City of Chicago.

Rob Provencher (Westmount Photography and Co-Founder of Nobs)  and myself have teamed up with our album company Epoca to showcase a cross Canada Tour

Matt, Reem &  Shannon come to Sudbury for the Holidays and not 24 hours in the Sudz they headed over to our studio to create some new images to take back home.  I don’t think I have ever seen our studio this cluttered with clothes hahaha.  We spent a few hours photographing each of them individually and then we worked our way into a bunch of group photos.  I will start this blog series with these 3 images and later over the holidays I will post more (they tend to get more odd as time went by:) )  It was so much fun with loads of energy flowing through the shooting room (not to mention some kick butt tunes… Thanks Reem I am downloading from Itunes as I type).  Stay tuned for more images of the Matt Pack.
