In no particular order, here are my eleven favourite photos that I shot during 2011.

The Rest of Samantha’s Return

I’d mentioned in my previous post that it’s been about six months since I last photographed Samantha. Was it worth the wait? You decide:

From Kaley’s first ever photoshoot last week at the Westin Harbour Castle in Toronto. These were shot with an AlienBees Ringflash ABR800.

Katie B: Week 4 Additionals

Here’s a few more images of Katie from week four of our little project. Exasperated from not wearing makeup, she slapped on a little eyeliner and mascara for these pictures. These were all done with natural late-day window light.

Katie B: Week 4

Because the weather has still been mostly crap, Katie and I went back to where we started for week one, which is setting up shop in her tiny kitchen. Instead of using the bathroom wall as a backdrop, we used the black bathroom door. And instead of wearing makeup, Katie wore none. Yep, none. Nada. Zilch. At my request, of course. She would never do such a thing on her own, and in fact hated every single second of being photographed as her natural self. But the reason I asked is because she’s obviously beautiful. I think the results here bear that out.

Lighting was as simple as it comes — one AlienBees 400 in a small umbrella.

Katie described herself as looking like a “cavewoman”. I guess all cavewomen were insanely gorgeous then.

Katie B: Week 3

I told Katie to wear something slutty. She even put on heels for me, which she hates since she’s already so tall. So just to torture her a little more, we went to the Distillery District which is chock full of cobblestone walkways. Luckily she didn’t break any joints, nor her shoes.

With the exception of the first shot in the back seat of the car, all the rest were shot with the ambient light on location. The back seat shot was lit with a small flashlight that I balanced on the driver’s seat.

Welcome to week two of my Katie B photos. I think we’re gonna need a name for this little project… any suggestions?

Em Round Two

Round one with Emily was so successful, we decided to do it again. This time: outdoors!

At the beach, no less.

In mid-April.

It was like 12°C.

Ugh.

But we made pretty pictures!
