RSQUARED Revealed
Posted by Ryan in In Studio, Pretty Girls on May 9, 2010
Randall is seen here posing in the freight elevator at Heather Windsor’s studio in Bowmanville, Ontario. This is pretty much the hottest photo I’ve ever taken of Randall; she amazes me every time we shoot by constantly stepping it up. During our shoot, she acknowledged studying the contact sheets from our previous shoots to learn her best angles and poses. This is why she can look six feet tall in this photo despite being nowhere near that. Is she ready for the Victoria’s Secret catalogue? I think so.
In summary, Randall is the awesomeness and I love her. Can’t wait ’til we shoot again.
Wardrobe: H&M lingerie that I got on sale ($7 for the bra, $5 for the thong).
Lighting: Profoto Pro Ring 2 and daylight.

Labour Day Weekend
Posted by Ryan in On Location, Pretty Girls on November 3, 2009
From two months ago, here’s Amanda, photographed on Labour Day weekend. It was quite possibly the worst shooting weekend of my life, as I had one model cancel on me, Amanda was hungover, another cancelation late one night, and then the discovery that another photographer used some of the same setups in the same location (I’ve already deleted my versions).
Samantha Saturday
Posted by Ryan in On Location, Pretty Girls on September 19, 2009
I’ve posted a lot of Samantha before, so why not a few more? First, two shots from our Toronto Islands swimwear shoot:
And then two new photos from our recent lingerie shoot on Labour Day weekend:
This last shot on the bed was particularly amusing, as Samantha’s top was about two sizes too small and provided some interesting post-production challenges in Photoshop. 
All shots done with natural light except the first, which was with an Alien Bees 1600 in a shoot-through umbrella. All shots done using my 85mm f/1.8 lens.
Lauren in Playboy?
Posted by Ryan in On Location, Pretty Girls on September 11, 2009
No way.
Lauren, seen here on the blog previously, has never been in Playboy. But someone out there thinks she has. See, it’s funny — every week when I check my server logs, I see that someone has searched for the term “lauren potts playboy” in Google and landed at my site as a result. The search always comes from the same place — Maryland. I can only deduce that it’s the same person, week after week, searching and clicking on my site.
Now, I’m not naive. There could very well be some hot girl in Maryland named Lauren Potts that this person is searching for. But it ain’t this one.
Here’s Lauren in her underwear, which is as close as she’s gonna get to Playboy. Sorry to disappoint.
One More of Amanda
Posted by Ryan in Uncategorized on April 20, 2009
This was one of the very last shots I did of Amanda. She knew instinctively what to do and how to do it — somehow putting her face in the exact position where the hardwood floor (unseen in this photo) was reflecting the most light. The light came from some large windows behind me and nothing else. Though I’d set up my Alien Bees strobes earlier in the day, the only reason I touched them during Amanda’s shoot was to constantly move them out of my way and let the natural light flow in.
Amanda hasn’t seen these photos yet as she’s jetsetting right now; currently in Panama and off to Mexico next week. I hope she likes them! Maybe when she comes back with a tan, I can convince her to hit the beach with me here in Toronto for some more photos.
Lingerie Update
Posted by Ryan in Uncategorized on April 16, 2009
Two weeks ago, I showed off the preview. Now here’s the real thing!
First up, we have Amanda, a first-time model who did a stellar job despite having a little bit of trouble finding the studio. I’ll forgive her, though, as we got tons of stellar images in our 90 minutes together. Amanda must have studied her Victoria’s Secret catalogue before the shoot, as she was nailing poses left and right without much prompting from me.
Next up is Heidi, an old friend who previously shot for Playboy! Heidi comes and goes from my life on a regular basis, but the few hours we hung out taking pictures felt like we’ve never been apart. Heidi told me she likes her bum better than her face, but I’d say this photo makes a compelling argument for both.
All three shots were done with pure, simple, afternoon window light. No artificial light sources.
