I’ve shot for some clubs in Oshawa, off and on, since last year. A few weeks ago I showed off some shots from Junction, and now here’s some of my favourites from Karma. Karma has some strangely fantastic lighting — big diffused square panels filled with pink and blue lights that line the booths. It wreaks havoc on my white balance, but it makes for some amazing photos.
Another Photographer: Heather Windsor

Meet Heather.
Heather is a friend of mine who takes pictures and today she opened her brand new studio space in Bowmanville, Ontario.
But before we talk about that, you need to know more about her!
Heather friended me on Facebook about a year ago, after realizing that we had each shot two of the same models. We hit it off right away, sharing our best photographic stories and insights. With Heather based a fair distance away from me in Oshawa, our first real-life meeting didn’t happen til many months later… at Hooters. Yes, Hooters. We had fried pickles and they were delicious. Hush.
She doesn’t like talking about herself on her website, but she’s a bit more chatty on her blog. And if you like what you see there, join the Facebook fan page.
Heather is a hardworking mom and fabulous photographer, so when she asked me to drive the 70km or so to Bowmanville and photograph her grand opening, I didn’t hesitate to say yes.
There were tasty treats from Custom Cakeworks:

The size of these windows makes me very excited:
Mayor of the Municipality of Clarington, Jim Abernethy, even came out for the ribbon cutting:
I’ve been bugging Heather a lot about when I can start using the space to shoot in, and I’m glad the answer is… now! I hope to get in there before the end of February and have a whole bunch of brand new content for everyone to see.
