November is Portrait Month

The plan for November is to offer a reasonable price to everyone who needs a headshot but maybe hasn't made the time or been able to justify the expense.

I will do anything from a traditional studio portrait, suitable for a real estate bus board or an 8x10 glossy for signing and sending to your fans, to a pin-up photo. Something which may be interesting for Christmas and Valentine's Day.

I also want to encourage all to consider the photo above. If you want something expressive and creative, let's do that.

I've been photographing artists as alternately, their own art, or as their own subjects. The series is growing and is a lot of fun. There may be a show in it.

There is no good reason why this process would not be suitable for everyone else.
If you want to pose as your own professional activity - product, service or conceptual premise, then let's discuss it and give it a go.

The terms for this project may differ from the standard headshot terms.

So, for $200.00 you can come by and we'll spend a good hour, a baker's hour, with you and shoot as many poses as we are comfortable with. Pin-up and full figure poses will take more time but the rate will still apply for the shoot, and we would need to pick a suitable day.

You will receive every frame from the shoot on a CD and retouched ready to print files of at least three final selections and an 8x10 print of one of them.

More prints will be available for purchase for no more than $30.00 each.
A volume discount will be available for multiple prints ordered at the same time.

As always, everything is subject to negotiation.
I sometimes work for brownies!

Call me and let's talk about what you'd like.

It will be fun, I guarantee.

"I've worked out of a series of no's. No to exquisite light, no to apparent compositions, no to the seduction of poses or narrative. And all these no's force me to the "yes." I have a white background. I have the person I'm interested in and the thing that happens between us.
-Richard Avedon, 1994"

Amanda Sears - Remember this name.

During the last week of September, I drove out to Almonte in the Spitfire. (For those of you who don't know, I own a 1971 Triumph Spitfire Mark IV and is it slowly being renovated). It was a leap of faith, but thankfully the more it is driven, the better it runs. Sadly it is almost time to put it away for the winter, which is a very brutal thing to do to an engine or transmission.

The goal of my trip was to photograph some older work for a delightful young artist named Amanda Sears.
Amanda is one of the subjects of my Portraits of Artists featured in past blog entries.

We spent an entire late morning and afternoon, with Deborah Arnold who is a mentor and friend of Amanda's, and shot these three pieces from her past and about ten paintings and a tapestry.

I truly could have photographed the sushi lunch she prepared for us as well. It was spectacular and quite delicious.

Oh, and the Spitfire got me home again! Not a hint of a problem. If you don't consider the engine shutting off when you go over a sharp bump a problem.

The next assignment: a shoot at CUBE Gallery for Karina Kraenzle.
The next challenge for the Spitfire? It was raining that day. But that's another story.




So, as I say. Remember her name. She does fine work and she is a very dedicated artist. She is destined to be very successful.

2009 CATWALK - Biggest One Yet!

August 2009

If I don't write something today I will have missed August entirely.
And that's not right because it has been an OK month.

Finally had the CAPIC BBQ and the younger generation is showing interest in the association.

CATWALK is happening in two weeks, so I have some work to do there.

Cynthia O'Brien - New Work

You all know Cynthia, and her amazing original work in clay. If you don't you should.
The following are just a few of her new pieces done in 2009.

Her "Lucky Ducks" were the hit of the Chinatown REMIXED festival in May. Her ducks hung in the window of the Wa Kiu Grocery, temporarily replacing the BBQ ducks which are so familiar to passersby on Somerset Street.
