Les Coquettes: Gala!

Another great event took place at Revival on December 11, as Les Coquettes presented their annual holiday spectacular, titled Gala. The performance was based around old Hollywood glamour, with tributes to Singing In The Rain and the silent film era among others.

Their next event is a New Year’s Eve performance at the Sanderson Theatre in Brantford, Ontario. That should shake up that sleepy town a little bit.

Les Coquettes Present: Cabaret Enchanté

Les Coquettes are at it again, with their annual Halloween spectacular — Cabaret Enchanté, happening at Revival on October 23 and 30. Buy your tickets here, or check out the Facebook event here.

Revival was kind enough to loan us their space so we could shoot the ad you see above.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes lighting setup:

Key light was the AB400 in a 24×36 softbox up high on the stand on the right side. Fill flash was the Alien Bees ABR800 Ringflash in front. An AB1600 is that bright spot in the middle of the frame, placed behind the subjects for a wee bit of rim lighting.

Models: Billie Black, Dante Inferno, and Lilli Bubalotovich.

Les Coquettes Strikes Again

My pals from Les Coquettes are at it again, presenting a revised and updated version of The Beautiful and The Damned this Sunday. Lo and behold, Toronto Life magazine thought the event was worthy enough to grace the front page of their website… and they featured my photo! Check out The Weekender article as well with my photo credit. Here’s a screencap of the front page in case it’s gone by the time you get there:

Les Coquettes (Again)

I’ve blogged twice before about Toronto’s Les Coquettes, and wanted to share with you images from their latest production, The Beautiful and the Damned.

If you missed the show, there’s good news: they’re doing it all over again on March 29th May 31st! Check out the details of the second run of The Beautiful and the Damned on the Facebook event page, and buy your tickets here. Perhaps they should switch the name to The Damned and the Beautiful?

I’ve had a great time covering these performances and was quite proud to see the Toronto Star ran my photo to promote the last show.

February 22nd is fast approaching, and that means it’s time for another performance from Les Coquettes! Last I blogged about these gals, I had just finished shooting their fabulous holiday-themed show, A Winter’s Tail. They liked me so much that I was enlisted to shoot the promo images for their upcoming show, The Beautiful and the Damned, once again hosted by Revival in Toronto’s west-end. (Everything west of Yonge St. is “west-end” to me.)
