Michelle & Derek

This great couple drove in from the Brooks, Alberta area to create an engagement session that reflected their love for rural roots.

As luck would have it, behind my house is a set of old farm buildings and abandoned vehicles. Derek was adamant that we choose a “Chevy” truck for the background (hate for Fords run deep?), and the rusted carcass left in the field gave great visual texture for their set. We chased the sunset to grab the last remaining bit of light for the day, resulting in warm, backlight images. Stay tuned for more of this couple as we shoot their wedding in 2010.

Lethbridge Street Rod Photographer

As a warm-up to the Lethbridge Streetwheelers show, I had the opportunity to light and photograph a fantastic Ford street rod – a consistent winner for “best paint” in shows around the country.

Having teamed up with Brien Gehring as a lighting assist, I was eager to photograph it – as I hadn’t professionally lit a car before (let alone a black one, the hardest of all). The landscape scene in the door is intentional, and I lit this car as I would a portrait for a human subject.

Kudos to Brien for his work on securing the location at the old Galt Mine #8 after hours. It really fit this ride.

Fans of live music in Lethbridge had few options recently for a choice in venue, it was either a local pizza place, or various temporary stages setup throughout the city. Not so anymore with the changing of the guard at Lethbridge’s old firehall and LBN restaurant. Read more »

Alberta Strobist, A New Kind of “Camera Club”

One of the things that separates a professional photographer from someone equipped with a “point and shoot” camera is the ability to talk the language of light. Many great photos are ruined by slapping a flash on the front of your camera (which creates hard shadows, and often “cave-like” images) and expecting your photos to look great. Read more »
