Noire Couture Editorial - Summer 2011

July 10th 2011:

Location: Spring Bank Airport Hanger

It's been awhile since posting to this blog again, have been quite busy with many photoshoots. The day welcomes broad sunlight, light winds. It's a beautiful summer day just outside Calgary, this is just the perfect location!

This set I wanted to create an expression that consists several ingredients to ultimately show sophistication, power, depth, freedom, originality, beauty, Noire Couture and most importantly Bon Ton (Fr.). All this can be achieved with a high mastery and knowledge of makeup, modelling, lighting, location, concept and direction!

ENJOY!

Special Thanks

STi Photoshoot Aug 2010

A fun photoshot of the Subaru STi; Captures were taken between 6:00pm - 8:00pm.
Enjoy!

JDM Photoshoot

It's really been awhile since I've got the chance to actually take pictures of my car and Kats new car. Captured images are of the Honda S2000 and the Subaru WRX STi (respectively). Images are captured in singular low light source with only a a few minutes to spare. Low light captures (non-flash control) present the most increadable challenge even for the best professional photographers. (Additional photos from another capture are included)

This was not a fully prepared photoshoot, infact under much less than ideal conditions; whats interesting is the other photographer present moved and dropped his lens (Canon 24-70 F2.8L!; ) *yikes* least to say it was definitely an expensve replacement, possible 3x more expensive than the starter kit lens (small beans!<< The kit lens does so much injustice!) I was currently equipped with, so the images are more closer to "normal" lol. There are still several more shoots to do!

Here are some reviews of the two Sports Cars:
