NIGHTNUDES.ca has Launched!

March 22, 2011

I felt that my Night Nudes deserved a home of their own, so I’ve launched NIGHTNUDES.ca. I’ll be adding to this series a lot over the coming months. The photos seemed kind of out of place next to the “smiling girl in her underwear” photos that I post here so often, so now they can live on their own! The site will also serve as the home for a photo book that will be compiled down the road.

And if you’re interested in volunteering to be a part of the series, you’ll find more info on the Night Nudes site. Go check it out!

Amy Kerr

January 6, 2011

This is going to get confusing.

Meet Amy. Amy from Halifax. But not this Amy from Halifax.

 

The Amy you see here is actress and model Amy Kerr. And funnily enough, I met Amy Kerr after she saw my shots above of Amy Morris. She liked them so much that she friended me on Facebook and we quickly set about planning a photo shoot of our own when I returned to Halifax in October.

A few days before we shot together, I was headed out to dinner with Marietta, who you might remember from these photos in a really furry dress. As I was waiting on the sidewalk for Marietta to finish work, a car pulled up and two beautiful ladies sat inside, chatting. The blonde in the driver’s seat looked familiar to me, but I couldn’t quite place who she was. “That kinda looks like Amy Kerr,” I said to myself, unsure because I hadn’t met her at this point and because of the strange lighting tricks the reflective windshield was playing on my eyes. I busted out my BlackBerry and pulled up her Facebook profile to see if I could match the faces, but the results were inconclusive. A few moments later, Marietta arrived and said, “Hey, that’s Amy Kerr!” They exchanged a wave and we troddled off to dinner.

 

When I finally got to meet Amy for realz, we spent an afternoon shooting in the confines of my hotel room at the Westin, making sure to put every element of the room to good use. The windows provided some particularly lovely backlighting as the sun lowered in the sky.

I can honestly say that I don’t know a better looking 31-year old than Amy, who has spent half her life acting in movies, TV shows, and commercials, including some appearances on Trailer Park Boys.

The thing that amazed me most was that Amy gave birth to a son just eight months before we did this shoot! She looked faaaantastic for being a new mom.

Lastly, the YouTube video below gives you a little behind-the-scenes glimpse into our afternoon.

Vote for Kali!

August 21, 2010

If you’re Canadian, and especially if you’re Torontonian, then you’ve probably heard by now of a new television show called Lake Shore. The producers have been holding auditions over the last few months to find eight people for a Jersey Shore-style show, north of the border. They’ve narrowed it down to 25 people and are taking online votes to decide the final eight.

Meet Kali Eliopoulos, one of the 25 finalists in the running for a spot on Lake Shore.

I love her look, which comes from a mixed Greek and Filipino heritage. Appropriately enough, we shot these pictures on the shore of Lake Ontario.

Follow Kali on Twitter, join her Facebook Group, and most importantly, vote for Kali to be on Lake Shore! Voting started today and goes til September 3rd. If you vote, I promise to post more photos of Kali!
