Puppy Love | Vancouver Dog Photographer
This past summer, I got to help out at a dog photo shoot. 7 Doberman puppies were the most difficult clients to shoot by far! They were all at 7 weeks old when we photographed them.Some were timid and some wouldn't stop moving, making it difficult to get the perfect shot. Martin Szabo photographed the puppies and I got to experience what it was like to photograph four legged and furry friends. Here are some shots that I took during the shoot.
Expanded Screen | Toronto Photographer & Videographer
Lately I've been undergoing much stress, due to midterms and school work in general. I usually find comfort in cooking a meal or going out with friends. This time, I decided to channel my stress into a piece that I made for an assignment. The Expanded Screen Assignment required us to create a two channel video piece. I was exploring my sleep pattern and how I would undergo stressful moments when trying to fall asleep. I would be awake with my eyes closed with thoughts in my head: the errands I needed to run, the things I had to complete for school… There was just so much going on all the time and this video represents what I experienced.
Evergreen Brickworks Park | Toronto Photographer
Toronto surprised me after the last 4 years of being here. There are plenty of charms in this city. I'll let the photos do the talking. Enjoy!
"cake." | Toronto Videographer & Photographer
Ever wonder how you can combine a still image with a video? Time & Stillness was the theme of the first project from my Hybrid Photography class - where we learn how to use the dSLR as a video tool as well as being an image capturing tool. We looked at many videos to come up with a tableau of our own. In this case, I wanted to play with the idea of cake and that it is used in the typical ritual of birthdays and celebrations.
"The work plays with the absence and presence of a celebration.
The photograph is a picture of the cake itself lit up. The in-action capture of the sparkler and the candles, create a portrait of the cake in its entirety. The everlasting of the celebration is captured in the photograph. However, the video represents the celebration from beginning to the end. The image and the video help to convey a celebration or ritual shared between two people who are absent and present.
The two mediums play off one another in that the image represents an ever-lasting celebration that has no end. Moreover, the video is a performance of the ritual. The cake’s candles are blown out, then taken apart, and finally eaten. The stillness becomes the timeless piece. The image depicts an endless celebration, one that takes place everyday in society. On the other hand, the timepiece plays a sequence, a story with a beginning and an end. To conclude, I feel that both mediums work well with one another as they both speak to the same subject matter but in different and effective ways."
