Sometimes landscape images remind me of why I do what I do……
2010 Emerging Photographers

“When I get comfortable I keep moving”
Being comfortable at something makes me uneasy, somehow. For me it’s sign that I’m stagnating at something and if I don’t do anything about it I get bored…very miserably bored. That’s when I start moving! I have some new creatives in the works
Catalogue for Kinks Hair Studio & Spa
I had a great time on the set for this shoot. The girls were awesome. A photo session like this could have a lot of pre-production planning. On the day of the shoot the models and the client were at the venue(the Salon) at 9am getting prepped up. I got to the Salon later in the afternoon to set up for the shoot and they were still being prepped up. Ninia, the make-up artist and Marva, the hairstylist did a fantastic job.
The best Fifa World Cup host: South Africa
I came across the above image I photographed near Johannesburg in my archives today! Kudos to the people of South Africa for hosting a successful World Cup.
I’m proud to be African!!!
Lickpenny Loafer
Last week I got a call from the lead vocalist Ron(a.k.a. Arunachal) of Lickpenny Loafer and he asked me if I could cover a private pre-album release performance at the Smiling Buddha Bar in downtown Toronto. All I can say right now is watch out for their album. I can’t wait to work with them on the artwork for their CD release.
Just before the performance we went outside to a alley nearby and I managed to sneak in the pic above. I removed the hotshoe flash off my camera to light this shot. Creativity prevails!!

Sarina
“If you are passionate about something, you become good at it”
I don’t know where I heard the above phrase or read it but it keeps resonating at the back of my head time and time again. This art of photography is a long learning journey. Just when you think you are “there”, the more you realize you are not even close and you find there is more to learn.
A sneak peak from a session with Sarina today. Sarina was fun to work with. We did a fitness photo shoot but you won’t get to see any of the fitness shots yet…..I’m saving the best for last:-)
A bit of dis n dat….
The past few weeks have been busy(family and work) and this week was no exception. I’ll post more updates when things cool down a bit and I figure out which way is up….
……..a shot of a commercial work I did for a local yoga studio in Milton with my own personal touch to it. This is a hot yoga studio and the room temperature during the shoot was around 38 degrees Celsius:
