Another of Brittany.

It’s back to work this week (well depends if it’s too cold to go out fishing or not) and we are gearing up for another great year. Revamping the studio, revamping our packages and revamping our clientele. Here is another one of Brittany. She will be coming in this week to choose her images so I will have more to show. I couldn’t help myself from posting another one. : ) This is with my homemade kitchen light from Home Depot.

Practicing Sleeping For Xmas Eve.

This little one was practicing his sleeping techniques for Christmas Eve while he visited our studio today.

A Boy & His Dog

I just couldn’t resit capturing a portrait of these two friends. Everyone who owns a pet know that they are more than that, they are our closest friends.

Rockburst Exploding In Sudbury

jameshodgins — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 17:59:28 +0000

A couple of weeks ago we photographed the local band “Rockburst” in our downtown core. They needed a group image that they could use for promoting and marketing around town. We came up with this quick concept based on one of our family portraits we did a few years ago. I quickly threw this together (rough draft) using their logo’s concept for the image. I’ll keep you posted on the final edition.

She’s Got The Look!!

jameshodgins — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 18:19:29 +0000

Melina came into our studio today so that we could capture her new look. What look is that? We like to call it “Hotness”. She’s worked hard, put in the time, and now it’s time to reap the benefits. This is just one quick sneak peak at what we created for Melina, of course all the work was done by her, I just captured what was there. Beauty.

Just Let The Kids Play

jameshodgins — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 12:05:51 +0000

You have heard me say it before, sometimes the best images are when your subjects are not even looking at the camera. We just finished the “water” session with the family and kids were having some fun before the next shoot. I just love the faces of the two brothers as their sister takes control with the splashing.

A Sudbury Couple

jameshodgins — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 00:53:13 +0000

Krista & Rob are the type of couple that will tell you they don’t photograph well together but will prove you wrong with every click of the shutter. We just love couples that manage to create their own moments in front of the camera without us prompting them in any way or they think I am fiddling with my camera settings when really I am just waiting for that right moment when they think I am not looking. I have said it before and I will say it again, I LOVE the images of couples where they are not looking at the camera, acting like we are not around, cuddling together when they think we are not looking, those make the best “captured moments” images. Krista, Rob, thanks again for a great session, the two of you “fit” well together, in pictures and out. Congrats to the two of you again.

Franks Deli. Check it out!

www.franksdeli.ca has a new look with some photography by yours truly. Take a look at their new face and make sure you stop by and challenge yourself to their 2ft hotdog.

LOVE YOUR LIZARD DAY IS COMING!

jameshodgins — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 13:30:02 +0000

With the overwhelming response we have had to our previous pet events and the amount of phone calls and emails in regards to our iguana photography, we have decide to open up a special event for all you reptile lizard lovers. LOVE YOUR LIZARD day is coming this Spring and we are totally stoked on what we have to offer. We only have 20 slots available and we have already booked 7 of them without even advertising this event. We will photograph your lizard individually and of course with you or your loved ones. NOTE: We use the most flattering light on your lizard and have also purchased a new Lizard-EYE Lens specifically for this event (Like the fish-eye lens only there is a new UV coating on the lens as reptiles are cold blooded)

FOR ALL THE SCALY DETAILS PLEASE CLICK HERE AND BOOK YOUR SESSION.

The Forgotten Pinup!

jameshodgins — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 23:13:02 +0000

I was editing some files today getting prepped for an appointment with Franks Deli and I realized that I started working on image last year and I never finished it. It just need a few minor touches so I thought I would now post it.

If you don’t bite your nails.

jameshodgins — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 20:54:29 +0000

The atmosphere was so relaxing I was almost tempted to make an appointment and get MY nails done by a few Boreal Students.

Hodgy Humor – Pool Party With My G11

jameshodgins — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 14:25:59 +0000

Hanging out at my sisters pool yesterday for my niece’s birthday party watching my nephew jumping in and out of the pool when a simple image appeared in my head. Wearing his goggles he reminded me of one of those bratty annoying kids that never shuts up or stops running around waving his arms all over the place. Fortunately for our sake (and his) he is not like that, but he does take a pretty cool looking picture when he allows me to photograph him. I only had my canon G11 but I did have a sunpack flash and pocket wizard in my trunk, so using one light source and overpowering the sun I came up with this quick shot. For some reason, nobody else wanted to go swimming.

“SWIM AT YOUR OWN RISK”

And your little dog too! || Sudbury Engagement

jameshodgins — Wed, 05 May 2010 00:40:37 +0000

We just finished photographing the engagement of Sheri & Mark. They will be married this June right here in Sudbury. Mark and I have known each other for years, going to the same highschool, hanging around the same friends, and I casting a few lines in the water every once and awhile (he is another fish whisperer). We photographed a in a great little spot in New Sudbury keeping things close to home. I know Mark is not one for photographs, but I have to give him credit as he was all smiles for this session, even though he seemed to sulk a bit because he didn’t get to hold the dog’s leash. Speaking of which, their little Pomeranian Sly was also on hand for a few photo ops. Thanks again Mark & Sheri, it was great catching up and talking shop….fish shop.

Received WPPI & PPOC Awards

jameshodgins — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 17:26:28 +0000

Finally had a chance to open some goodies that arrived for me last week. The award on the left is from my 3rd place win at WPPI. The award in the middle is for “Best Group Portrait” from the Professional Photographers Of Canada – Ontario for the image “This is what happens to crappy print judges” and the one on the right is a “Judges Choice” Award for “The Big Catch”. Both these images have been sent off for the National Print Competition next month in Mont Tremblant. Entering Print competitions is very beneficial to any photographer and I will be speaking about this during my presentation in Chicago next week. It helps us strive to create the best image possible EVERY TIME which is beneficial to ourselves and our clients. The judges look for such thins as Storytelling, Composition, Presentation and what I like to call the WOW Factor. Having your images critiqued by your peers can give you an eye opener to your photography (good or bad) but either way it’s a learning experience.

Heading to Chicago tomorrow afternoon for the Inferno Convention so see you next week.

No sense in crying over spilt coffee…
