This piece reflects on tolerance, compassion, intimacy, acceptance and mindfulness. It is inspired by the story of conjoined twins Abigail and Brittany Hensel and done in the style of the Rococo period.

The posing seen in "Joined" is heavily inspired by the beautiful dolls of Marina Bychkova
"Joined" is a very detailed, high quality, piece.

Montmorency


On a beautiful overcast day, Montmorency falls offered up it's beauty, and my camera took it all in.

Located just east of Quebec city, this modest size "park" allows it's visitors to take a gondola ride up to the top of the falls. At the top, a great bridge offers a spectacular arial view of the gorgeous falls.

Below, someone has sculpted, from huge fallen pine logs, their name and the word "Quebec".


The people below are so small. The sound on the bridge is rumbling and powerful. I snap a few shots of the racing water, but the magnificent power heard in the rushing water can only be appreciated in person.




We make our way across the bridge and toward the 400 plus stair descent. The staircase is perched up on the rocks. It's steady legs imbedded in the granite. We begin to descend, and I snap pictures along the way of the ground supporting us, keeping us safe.



At the bottom, more beauty awaits. The sound of the crashing water is muffled, spreading out on it's descent as it pools into the inviting river. The sound is loud, but calm. Less aggressive. More peaceful. I take it all in: the falling water, the tourists, the two fly-fishermen perched on the rocks, like birds. They stand still, with the exception of gracefully casting their lines from time to time. What a beautiful way to meditate: surrounded by mother nature's greatness. Stillness in a storm.

Zara Photo Shoot


In November 2009, I was hired by a female body builder to shoot for her personal portfolio. She was looking to add a feminine touch to her collection. We decided to do an Alberto Vargas style shoot. From the styling to the post-production, the final prints echoed the classic pin up painter's masterwork.


We had a great team working together that day! Pascal Saab (two year running award winning hair stylist) curled her locks into a classic vintage twist. She wore rich red lips and thick swooping eyeliner courtesy of Ale (from World According to Ale). The look was polished up with beautiful pieces from Agent Provocateur and BCBG.


The shoot went on for hours, but we had a great time! Below are some of my favourite images. I couldn't be happier :)
