Traditional and Experimental Photography with Tristan

August 5, 2017 by TRWPhoto-99 Leave a Comment

Met up with Tristan for a photo shoot for his online social media presence and thoroughly enjoyed myself. 🙂 Tristan is also an avid photographer and after taking some natural light shots for him on our walk through Victoria he shared some example shots on Instagram. The first required a flash and black background and the second a tripod and a neutral density filter. The first shot was simple to do but not easy in a noon day soon but I think we managed to pull it off 🙂 The second shot was something I hadn’t tried before which is to slow the shutter down enough to blur pedestrians passing by but still keep the model (Tristan) exposed properly and in focus (so he couldn’t move). As I mentioned a bit of experimental photography but we tried and think we got a couple of interesting shots for his social media channels.

Camera Equipment Used

Sports Photo Shoot with Coultish Model Sunny

July 23, 2017 by TRWPhoto-99 Leave a Comment

After a long Saturday photographing a wedding it was a different pace going to the track at the Pacific Institute for Sports Excellence with Sunny this morning. We planned on doing a sports themed shoot and Sunny came with lots of energy and prepared to work hard. I had him doing sprints, push ups, pull ups, stretching and jumps. Super work ethic. Thanks for shooting with me today Sunny.

Portrait Photo Shoot with Coultish Model Sunny

July 14, 2017 by TRWPhoto-99 Leave a Comment

I met up with Sunny last night to do a shoot for his portfolio and mine and after talking it out we decided to go to the Legislature buildings here in Victoria BC. He had done a shoot there previously and loved it and I hadn’t shot there before so off we went. I have actually shot some of his work before while he was walking a couple of the runways here in Victoria, like Victoria Fashion Week. He had brought with him two outfits (a fabulous custom suit and blue jacket) to wear during the shoot. We had a blast shooting and with all the fun I forgot to close out the vlog lol. Hope you enjoy the video 🙂

Portrait Photo Shoot with Coultish Model Spencer

June 24, 2017 by TRWPhoto-99 Leave a Comment

I spent an hour in the afternoon with Spencer to help build up his portfolio. We had such good time walking through downtown Victoria BC, looking for interesting spots to shoot. We started near the coffee shop and realizing that he had several potential outfits I asked him to start with a simple black outfit and placed him against a brick wall in the shade. Then he did a quick change and found another interesting wall. He changed again and we went off to find a location near the waterfront. Spencer was fabulous, interested and very professional. We shot on the docks and then ended on the top of a garage where he spotted a tall wall. He suggested he jump up and I took photographs of him against the city skyline and blue skies. So much fun 🙂

Portrait Photo Shoot with Coultish Model Jenna– Behind the Scenes Model Photography in Victoria BC

June 23, 2017 by TRWPhoto-99 Leave a Comment

Had the pleasure of shooting with the enthusiastic Jenna yesterday. She was a lot of fun to work with and kept up easily with my quick pace of changing locations and moving through poses so quickly. She was fabulous. We managed to cross over from one side of Victoria to the other in search of interesting locations and fabulous light and think we found some good spots. Jenna had a fabulous idea for posing in the alley so we tried that and it was amazing. (see below her flipping her hair down and adjusting her heels in the Fan Tam Alleyway). Super happy with the shoot. 🙂
