Winnipeg Men Magazine

This was shot fopr the cover of the Winnipeg Men Magazine A profile on Garth Buchko, the new CEO of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and of courses talking about the new facility which is still under construction. Standing on the meridian at the end of Chancellor Drive, it was a challenge to overcome the ambient lighting and create some impact. Fortunately I was able to over power the sun and give the sky a deep blue.

Here’s a cool story. Way back in the summer of 2008 I did a series of ads for Warehouse One. 4 concepts, but here’s the two that were shot in one day. We shot the first concept, the swimmer, at the Uof M pool. The 2nd one, the cheerleader, we couldn’t get access to the Bomber stadium, but thats’ ok. We’d just photoshop in a full stadium, MCG being the agency not only on this shoot but for the Bombers also. At the time there was NO talk of a new stadium, or if it was it was the start of the whole Point Douglas debate.

Logistically, right after the swimmers we needed to find a wide open field to shoot in, turns out the best place was the soccer fields. yep you guessed it. We shot football cheerleaders in the exact spot they’ll be cheering this season, years before it was even a consideration! Kinda neat eh?

here’s some behind the scenes pics

Winnipeg’s Most Beautiful Women

This shoot for Winnipeg Women Magazine is always fun, getting to meet and photograph some amazing women. This year we shot at the Bay Downtown, the grand dame of department store shopping in this city. Of course we all had a wonderful shoot, culminating with lunch at the Paddlewheel!

Each of these amazing women have a profile on Winnipeg Women’s Website I encourage you to read them!

Also big thanks to Jim Todd for assisting on this shoot.

By now you might have heard of Pinterest. Its a social media site based on a metaphor that seems very familiar to those in the visual arts. Think of it as the digital version of that huge cork board you pin stuff that interests you. I’ve been pinning since I was a kid, to the point where I had a wall covered in cork, so I find great fun to gather up collections of images I find inspirational. Once you decide to pin something you assign it to a board, with topics such as B&W, Colour,Cameras, etc.

While the debate over copyright and usage of these images rages, I’m still having fun collecting. It’s fun, its easy, its a massive time waster!

The Cellar Door Test Kitchen

Another regular feature I have so much fun doing. The test kitchen for Banville & Jones‘ magazine The Cellar Door features the cuisine and wine of the region featured for each issue. This past issue we visited the newly renovated Bombolini under Amici’s.

Tina, Darren and Saralyn from B&J and Chef Patrick Shrupka were great subject to photograph.People seem so more relaxed about being photographed when their surrounded by good food and great wine!
