Show Me The Fire & Dog Day #4

Here is an image I created today for the Cambrian College Fire Services department. Sometime this summer we will be heading outdoors to get some live fire images, but today (as it was cold) we settled for indoors. I lit this image with 4 lights and one flash using a collapsed umbrella and 30 inch softbox. This shoot gave me some great ideas for upcoming images for this years Sudbury Firefighters Calendar. I look forward creating more images for this Cambrian Department.

Received this comment this morning in regards to my last blog post.

“You are amazing…thanks so much for capturing a moment that will last forever. Princess Chloe is angry and crying under the table because there is no picture of her…I told her that soon we will go back and she will be able to see all her pictures too. She said the green sucker was great!”

Well, there is one thing that I can’t stand and that is a crying princess. So just for you my little princess….voila!

Suckered In To Goofing Around

Here is another image from the “Matt Pack” Session. This was nearing the end, after they found the bag of wigs and accessories. There are more and I will post them when we get back to work (still kinda on holidays). Unlike other “HodgyPoP” sessions, this image was shot with this background and lighting. She was not cutout in PS and pasted into the frame. Lighting is my usual 5 light setup.

Home For Holiday Photos

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.
