More Tests


More moustache out takes.

Top: Craig's car sits in his driveway.

Bottom: We kept moving Kimon's mannequin around, but I think it was more distracting than interesting.

Tests


Here are some choice test shots from the past few days of shooting.

Top: Lizzie poses under Talia's photo sign before putting on the moustache.

Bottom: Deaglan's girlfriend, Amy created an installation last year with these kids and they were just piled in a corner when I got to their place. The one in the bottom right corner eerily resembles me as a child I think.

Toronto Life - Ask an Expert: Matt Creelman

One of my favourite things I shot this summer for Toronto Life was the Ask an Expert series they ran in their Real Estate Guide that is out this month. The next four entries are the home experts I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing.

Matt Creelman is the head of Mattu Building Specialists. I met him at a house he was working on and made him stand in a hole in the floor while I shot. Those ended up being my favourite and TL printed the one on the right in the Real Estate Guide.


While I was shooting, Matt asked me to shoot a party for him...a party which actually turned out to be his wedding reception. Here's a shot of Matt with his beautiful wife, Tammy. (Congrats guys!)

Toronto Life - Ask an Expert: Rosarii Lannon


I won't lie, I was a little surprised when I first met Rosarri Lannon (Electro Dame). She's really petite and soft spoken, but she knows her stuff. She worked the whole time we shot while also directing a crew of men at the house they were rewiring. She was great to work with.

Toronto Life - Ask an Expert: Bob Beal

Bob Beal is the owner of Artisan Bathrooms and Kitchens. He met me in one the bathrooms he was in the process of renovating. He told me about several new kinds of low flow toilets, and the importance of lighting in bathrooms. Check out his work: http://www.artisanbathrooms.com/index.html

Toronto Life - Ask an Expert: Jennifer Wright

Jennifer Wright is an eco-friendly interior designer. The morning we did the shoot she had just dropped her kids off at camp and was preparing to go to a client meeting. She's super friendly, funny and a great mom...insisted I take an apple with me on my ride home (which is only thirty minutes long).
