Beauty and Braun - Full Set (Not Safe For Work)

Earlier this year a couple of models came into studio for some figure study work. It ended up being a great collaboration so at the end of the shoot we decided to self-publish a small magazine of the shoot for fun.

Fitness Photos with Annastasia

Emerging model Annastasia came into the studio for a fitness photo shoot. She really learned fast and her posing really became very fluid by the time the shoot ended. We both had a lot of fun working together and got some great images.

Knock out Kidney Disease Posters

A couple of weeks ago Jamie Champion of Prospect Fighting Championship came to me about shooting the promo pictures for his upcoming event "Knock out Kidney Disease" in conjunction with Showdown in the Downtown. Mattia Del Cul-Hovorka was selected as the model and we decided to take the pictures at Warriors' Boxing and Fitness in London, ON. It is going to be a dinner / kickboxing event.

We got a bunch of really good pictures, then selected a few really good ones and got to work on creating the posters. We came up with 2 similar posters featuring the photography. I'm really happy with how they turned out.

Version 1 of the Poster featuring a flying knee.

Version 2, the High Kick.

Spartan Cosplay with Lori for a Cause

Fitness model and all around bad-ass, Lori, came down from Ottawa to shoot her new cosplay with me. Lori is touring with the costume and setting up shoots all over the province and donating the proceeds to a military charity. It is a great cause and I'll be donating some prints to the charity as well. If you are interested in a print, let me know.

Lori built her costume from scratch, no pre-made pieces on this one. It looks fantastic and photographs even better. Message her to setup your own shoot. She really had the physique to pull this off as a fitness competitor.

DO Boxing Show - Behind the Scenes at our Promo Shoot

I had my good friend Dameon Okposio come into studio to update his head shots.

Dameon created a behind the scenes video of the shoot for his YouTube show: DO Boxing Show.

You can always use a good head shot for business. Dameon does a lot of seminars and speaking engagements so the pictures really support him. In addition Dameon writes for and publishes Below the Belt Magazine. We did some basic portrait work with Dameon in his unique shirts and then went on the head shots.

I might have got the best shot of the day after the shoot at dinner.

Global Legacy Boxing - Fight for the Falls

I finally got out to my first  Global Legacy Boxing event: Fight for the Falls. It took place in Niagara Falls, close to where I grew up. The event took place at the Scotiabank Convention Centre. I had only met a couple of the boxers on the card and I was eager to meet some new people. The event was a sell out and had great production value. It was nice to see a lot of my boxing friends there.

Photos with Professional Wrestler Sienna

Professional Wrestler Sienna came from Detroit to do a fun, promo shoot with me. We captured some of her MMA moves, then her wrestling stuff and then some random fun stuff after. Sienna was fun to be around and was willing to try all of the bizarre idea I had with her jumping off of things, etc.
