Les Coquettes: First Bite

I’ve been shooting with Les Coquettes for almost two years now, but speaking as a fan, our annual Halloween show is not to be missed. This year was no exception, and we extended the fun and nakedness across four performances on two nights. Enjoy some highlights from the show below, and if you like what you see, don’t forget to come out for the Christmas spectacular — The War On Christmas — on December 12th at Revival.

Our fans are the greatest and many of them arrived for the festivities in full costume:

Les Coquettes @ Bread & Circus

My favourite gal-pals (and a few boy-pals) from Les Coquettes did a little three-day run of a show titled The Long, Hot, Summer.

Bread & Circus was the venue — a tiny little 80-seat venue in Toronto’s Kensington Market neighbourhood. It’s much smaller than we were all used to — “backstage” was more of a hallway than anything else, the spotlights were dim, and shooting in such a cramped environment was challenging to say the least.

The upshot was that I had three days to get it right, so I was able to plant myself in a different spot every night to get a variety of shots from all angles.
