Hello everyone!

I know I've been absent from doing my regular postings, but I've been extremely busy shooting and developing new courses for Algonquin College and SPAO. I'm hoping to do some posts in the next few weeks (if things slow down a bit).

Here is a little video, although it's it's not directly related to photography, it's still interesting.

Enjoy!

March

2011-03-30T10:20:00.001-04:00

Here we are at the end of March. What a month! I thought February was good and that it couldn't get any better. Well, March came around and it was equally as good if not better.

There were 6 great shoots this month (3 of them have already been talked about in the previous posting).

The most recent models for this project were Mimi, Sitia, and Karen. All of these ladies did a fantstic job and amazed me with their abilites.

Thank you to Mimi, Sitia, and Karen for a job well done. Thanks again to all the models that have participated in this great project so far.

Here are a few samples from the shoots.

March - So Far...

2011-03-21T14:32:00.001-04:00

I thought February was busy and went by fast. Well, March isn't slowing down either.

As I sit here updating the blog, I realize that today is the 21st of March. Where has this month gone? I feel like just yesterday I was doing my first shoot of the month, yet when I go back to edit images for the blog, I noticed that I've had 6 amazing shoots. I've managed to process 3 of the 6 shoots for the CBCF project and here is a sampling from the shoots.

Another big thank you to all the models that I've shot this month. The images below are from the shoots with Jennifer, Jenna, and Marie.

Hope you all enjoy the samples.

February - Wow & Thanks!

2011-03-13T20:09:00.002-04:00

Hello everyone!

Sorry again for the long delay in between postings.

December and January was a very difficult and trying time for me, and as a result there was very little shooting during these 2 months, and therefore nothing to post.

Now February was a completely different story! It actually all started at the end of January with a shoot with a wonderful model, Jessica. After Jessica, February snowballed into a busy month with multiple shoots for the CBCF project. Angie, Elizabeth, Katie, and Tammy all had great shoots and executed some fantastic poses.

During the entire time of this project, I have not had such a positive response from would be participants like I did in February. I wish I could share more images with you from all the fantastic shoots.

So, I would like to give a very special thank you to these wonderful ladies for participating in this project, executing near flawless poses, and helping me find more participants.

Thank you Jessica, Angie, Elizabeth, Katie, and Tammy!

Here are some images from the shoots, enjoy!

PS. March is looking to be as busy or busier than February, so check back in early April for an update!

2011 Subaru WRX STI Commercial

Here is a look at the new Subaru commercial

Surfing commercial shot with 52 cameras

2010-10-04T17:56:00.000-04:00

I think by now we've all seen the stop motion video created by shooting multiple still cameras at the same time. Some of you might know it as "Bullet Time" from the movie The Matrix.

In these 2 videos you'll see the behind the scene footage of shooting the commercial for Mirage and the actual commercial.

Canon Pixma Printer Ad with Behind the Scene/Making of...

2010-10-04T14:35:00.000-04:00

I saw this ad and the behind the scenes footage and thought I would share this with all of you. I love the creativeness of the individuals that came up with photographing somethings so simple, yet makes it look so interesting.

Enjoy!

Once in a lifetime moment...

2010-09-23T09:45:00.001-04:00

Imagine experiencing a once in a lifetime moment. Now, imagine capturing this with your camera and being able to share it with the rest of the world.

I was very fortunate this past summer to travel to South Africa for a month, and witness some things that I had only ever hoped I would see. I'm still going through my images from South Africa and will post some soon, I just need to catch up with all my client request and find some spare time in between teaching classes to photography and photoshop enthusiast.

The following video is not something that I've shot, but something that I could relate to, and figured there would be some of you out there that could relate to it as well.

"Bob Poole is a DP (Director of Photography for you still shooters) who often works for National Geographic. While filming researcher Jake Wall who is studying the migration of African elephants, Bob and his team came across one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen capture on video. You gotta watch this video to believe it but Bob was trapped in a sand storm in Mail for 4 hours while the sun was all but completely blocked by the flying debris. It always amazes me when I see photographers or videographers capture nature at it’s best." fstoppers

Aleysha

2010-09-21T23:02:00.000-04:00

Since returning from vacation a month ago, I've been sorting through 4,000+ images, connecting with clients, and started 3 more sessions of instructing at Algonquin College, The School of Photographic Arts: Ottawa, and the City of Ottawa. Printing and framing for my exhibit and arranging shoots for my ongoing project, have also been on my to do list since returning.

This past week I had the opportunity to continue with my project after a 2 month hiatus. This time it was Aleysha who executed the poses to perfection, resulting in some very strong images from the shoot.

Here are a few images from the shoot.

Welcome Back, Exhibit, and more...

2010-09-16T16:15:00.001-04:00

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the lengthy delay between blog posts, I've been traveling for the last month in South Africa. I will be posting some of the images from the trip on here soon, but if you would to see some sooner, click on over to my company page on Facebook - Icon Imaging, and become a fan of the page while you're there.

Also, since I've been back, I've hung an exhibit at the Nepean Visual Arts Center at the Nepean Sportsplex (entrance #3). The images that are on display are part of the ongoing project I've been working on for the past 2 years. A portion of the profits from the sales of the images and soon to be published book will be going to Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. The exhibit is on until October 11.

One last note. I saw these 2 videos over at fstoppers blog and thought they were worth sharing with my blog followers. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Email and Website - Update

2010-06-04T09:30:00.001-04:00

Well, after a trying 2 weeks dealing with all the email and website issues, I've finally got a new website host, email is up and running, and my domain name is safe. I'm still having some issues with the images not loading on my site because of a database error, but at least it's up and my email is working. YAAA!!!!!

Website and email issues

2010-05-27T15:00:00.000-04:00

This past week I've had some email and website issues. First it was my website and email host that ceased operations, and then while trying to sort things out with this, I found out my registrar for my domain name has also ceased operations. Needless to say, not a fun week waiting trying to find a new host and registrar.

If you need to reach you me, you can do so by using my personal email address - wishbone@rogers.com, on Facebook (do a search for Icon Imaging), or by phone at 613.286.2920

I hope to have everything all fixed by Monday at the latest. Sorry for any inconvenience that his may have caused anyone.

WOW!

What an honour it was to be a part of this event. Coca Cola put on a breakfast event at Parliament hill for the MP's and we were the photographers for the event.

Being a huge sports fan it was an honour and privilege to be able to hold the Olympic Torch.

A shoot I soon won't forget!

Here are a few shots from the event.

To my loyal blog followers sorry it's been a few weeks since my last post, it's been a crazy last few weeks both personally and professionally.

Erin is the latest addition to my project, and what a wonderful addition she is. Her very fit/lean body along with her determination, made some great images for the poses that required strength.

Here are a few shots from the shoot.

Enjoy!

Sarah

2009-10-26T13:47:00.004-04:00

In the mean time, enjoy a few samples from my session with Ellen (one of a few in the last few days).

Cheers!

Great Week!

2009-10-24T09:39:00.002-04:00

Hey blog followers!

First off, I would like to apologize to all the people that I directed to Vincent Laforet's website this week to see a great video showing off the Canon 1D Mark IV. Canon once again made Vincent take down his video (like last years video 'Reverie'), because in my honest opinion, for no other reason than they don't know what they are doing. Seems Canon is their own biggest problem and can't get out of their own way to showcase a great product. Canon's PR/CS in the past few years has been tanking and continues!

There, my rant is done!

This week has been great so far, 3 shoots in 2 days, plus another 2 shoots in the next day and a half. Several of these are for my on going project, and once I get a free moment and have finished editing, you'll see a bunch more photos posted on the blog.

Thanks to all the models that have posed in the last few days (and coming day and a half) and I apologize for the delay in getting your images up.

Check back soon for a sample from the shoots!

Wow - Canon 1D Mark IV

2009-10-20T06:55:00.001-04:00

This morning I woke extra early to get started on a pile of work, as last week was a busy week and this week will be much of the same, with 3 booked shoots already (with a possibility of another one) for my project, plus client orders to print and 2 classes to teach.

However, with my busy schedule I still find time to check out my favorite photographers' blogs for inspiration. The one that caught my eye this morning that I thought I would share with you is the latest post by Vincent Laforet. Vincent, you might remember as the photographer that created 'Reverie' with the pre-production Canon 5D Mark II. He has now put together another video, this time with the newest camera to Canon's DSLR line-up, 1D Mark IV.

So, before I ramble on to much, check out his blog and newest movie. http://blog.vincentlaforet.com

Note: go soon, the last video that Vincent posted, crashed a few of the hosting sites because of the traffic levels.

Enjoy!

Ali

2009-09-28T16:53:00.004-04:00

Maternity Shoot with Sarah

2009-09-03T20:57:00.003-04:00

Enjoy the shots!

Canada Vs Wales - York University

2009-06-03T12:28:00.004-04:00

Last weekend I made the trip down to Toronto's York University to shoot some International Rugby between Canada and Wales.

Little Kensie - 12 days old

2009-03-27T16:23:00.005-04:00

Today I met Kensie. She is the sweetest little thing. I don't think I've ever met such a quiet little baby like Kensie before. During the entire shoot there wasn't one scream or any fussing. Anyone that's photographed babies before knows that this is a rarity and a blessing!

Thanks to Lisa and Ryan for bringing her by for photos; I can't wait to see her again at 3 months!

Enjoy the pics!

Amy = Fun Shoot

2009-02-18T16:30:00.003-05:00

This past week I took a few hours out of my ever increasingly busy schedule to do a fun shoot with a friend. I haven't had the chance lately with my current project, Maternity & Baby shoots, and teaching to do any fun shoots just for myself, so I really enjoyed the pressure free and relaxing shoot. I hope you like the pics as much as I enjoyed the shoot. Thanks Amy!

THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Hello once again to my regular visitors. We've been crazy busy over the last month and a half with lots of great shoots and therefore haven't had the time to update the blog. We will be updating the blog again soon with some of the images from the shoots.

Now starting with yesterday...

Here are a few shots from an experimental shoot that I did in the studio last week with Amy. The exposure for all the shots taken was f/8 @ 15 seconds. The lighting source was a small flashlight. This technique is known as painting with light. To see some more interesting painting with light, visit David Black.

The Studio Construction is Over!

2007-12-03T11:33:00.000-05:00

I haven't posted much over the past few weeks as I haven't been shooting very much. This is because almost every spare moment I have been building our studio.

The studio couldn't have turned out as great as it did if it wasn't for my brother Chris (Harrington Home Improvements - he does great work, and I'm not just saying that because he's family! If you need a renovation completed, call him, he's got good rates and great workmanship), and Marc (my business partner), and Colin (who did alot of work), and Julia (for her assistance with all the final touches).

The pics from this project are posted below.

This studio space will be available for renting come the new year.

Thanks again to everyone for your time and great effort!!!

Victoria

2007-11-12T23:45:00.000-05:00

This Sunday, I had a fun-filled shoot with Victoria - who is thinking of becoming a model. For being a first time model, she took direction really well and seemed very relaxed and natural in front of the camera. As you can see from the images, the shoot was a success. I wish Victoria all the best in her future.

Hannah - Body Painting!

2007-10-24T15:27:00.000-04:00

On Tuesday Hannah, Steve and I got together again to do another body painting shoot. Whenever we all get together it's a great time! (you can tell it's fun by one of the outtake photos of Hannah above)
The painting takes between 4-6 hours depending on the complexity of the artwork that's being painted. We spent 8 hours on this day (painting, shooting, and watching a few movies while Steve was painted).
Once again I would like to thank Steve Sammon from Pixelneck, and the beautiful Hannah for being such a great model!

Beautiful Images!

2007-10-14T23:26:00.000-04:00

On Friday I had the pleasure of shooting a very beautiful and fun girl, Emily. This is the 3rd time I've had the pleasure of working with Emily, and each time the images keep getting better and better. I can't wait to see how good the images will be when we get together for another shoot. Thanks Emily!

Fantastic Day!

2007-10-12T01:37:00.000-04:00

On Wednesday I got to work again with 2 great individuals. You'll probably recognize the beautiful model, Hannah, from the little kiddie pool shoot from a few weeks ago. This time she endured 5 hours of standing around getting painted by Stephen Sammon from Pixelneck, who is an amazingly talented artist. When working with these two fun, beautiful, and professional people, it's easy to make great photos!
Thanks again to Steve and Hannah, can't wait to work with both of you again soon!

Incredible Bathroom

2007-10-04T23:44:00.000-04:00

Chase Jarvis

2007-09-28T16:42:00.000-04:00

Back to the wreckers with Amy

2007-09-12T16:37:00.000-04:00

Yesterdays shoot with Amy was alot of fun. Even though it was Amy's first time modeling she managed to do quite well. By the end of the shoot she was really starting to nail the poses and give a great natural smile. We ended up running out of time/light, which was too bad with how things were progressing. I hope to be working with Amy in the near future, so check back soon to see the next shoot.

Have a great day!

Hannah and the kiddie pool

2007-09-02T23:47:00.000-04:00

On what started out to be a rainy and crappy Thursday last week, turned into a great day; the sun came out and the model, Hannah, was great! Hannah had some great expressions during this laughter and fun filled shot. Enjoy the pics!

2007-08-31T19:42:00.000-04:00
