Mommy.... It's Over

Since september 2012, I have come a long way in the work I have been able to produce. I am creating images and conepts I would have never dreamed about in the past and for that I am very thankful of the amazing staff at the Algonquin Photography Program. Thanks to these amazing people and the friends I have met along the way, I have become a better artist.  Here is my 2012 portfolio:

A big thanks to Michel Delaurier who helped my get into the amazing building with my large 4x5 view camera to complete this image of the iconic building of the Capital. This is the Parliament building in Ottawa Ontario.

This image was particularly difficult to achieve because of the topsy turviness of the glasses. They kept falling over and we had to set them back up countless times. After a long debate on using water trickling down, we decided against it simply because we did not have the time. Perhaps another time, I could revisit the concept and add water!

A big thanks to my models here, Natasha Riley and Nick Ballantyne for helping out during this shoot. The concept behind is the nightmares that chase us not only in our sleep but seem to stay with is during the waking hours.

An old family heirloom, used for my Metal commercial shot, an old sterling silver coffee pot.

This one was taken just after easter and was inspired by the decorations my mother put up for the weekend. ( I wish it was in color, it looks much better)

This is not an actual lizard, although I will not give away my secrets to the internet, you will have to try to figure it out yourself ;)

And last but not least a very big thank you to Natasha Riley for being my model countless times. I am sure you guys know her face well by now! She is amazing and I will never get enough photographs of her.  Shooting with you is always fun, keep it up girl!

Today was my last exam and I am now free. Although now I don't know what I will do with myself During the day, I will surely be very bored but don't worry all those long months of insomnia have taught me to stay busy and productive during mundane hours. In either case, I bid the school year farewell and I hope to see you all at the Expo on April 29th!!!  Be there or be square... yeah that's right I am that lame. I leave you all with the video of our program dropping our portfolios. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cnnRZgZuOkY
