Les Coquettes @ Bread & Circus
Posted by Ryan in Events & Performances on August 16th, 2009
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.

Angela is from Newfoundland. Angela is 22. Angela likes taking off her clothes and now she has a blog.
I will photograph Angela one day. She doesn’t know it yet.
Two Years Ago Today

Intersection of Sparks and Elgin in Ottawa, Ontario. Technical details: Nikon D200 with 17-55mm lens @ f/11, 10 seconds, ISO 400. I hope I can get to Ottawa this summer to photograph Adriana, unless she beats me to the punch and heads to Toronto first!
Emilie & Jahir
Posted by Ryan in Uncategorized on March 30th, 2009
Way back in August, I attended Emilie and Jahir’s wedding in Montreal. I was there purely as a guest, not a photographer, but I couldn’t resist bringing my camera along.
Shortly after I got back to Toronto, I made this cute little 2″x3″ photobook with Apple’s iPhoto software and mailed it to the newlyweds as a surprise.
To say they were ecstatic is an understatement. They quickly asked for a dozen more to send to friends and family, for which I was happy to oblige.
A thank you card arrived in the mail recently from Emilie and Jahir, and lo and behold, my images were staring back at me on the front of the card!
I was super flattered by this and still a bit speechless, even now.
Emilie and Jahir are expecting their first child, and I hope to get to Montreal sometime soon to see (and photograph!) all three of them.
Enjoy more photos from the wedding below!
