recently shot with Katlyn Lacoste, i had the idea to paint her with white body paint. we spent a while applying the paint from head-to-toe and experimented with a bunch of different lighting techniques. i think this might have been my favorite. its just a large sofbox almost perpendicular to the wall she was leaningContinue reading “katlyn – unbearable”

Brooke – Catch Me
every once in a while i go back into my archives of shoots. sometimes to just revisit the moments of a good shoot, other times to look for something new in the old. something that might seem fresh again with new eyes. so, as i was working on collecting some photos for a new project,Continue reading “Brooke – Catch Me”

Nancy Greene Lake, Rossland, BC
morning at the lake around Nancy Greene Provincial Park were often chilly and we typically had some light mist floating on the waters. one morning when we arrived at the lake, the entire lake was socked in with clouds. the visuals that emerged were unlike anything i’d ever photographed before. here are a few framesContinue reading “Nancy Greene Lake, Rossland, BC”
Rossland Salt Prints
here are two images i decided to print yesterday from my trip to Rossland, BC. i wanted to print them in the dark room and chose to do them as salt prints rather than palladium because in some ways, its quick and easy (despite a 20 minute exposure time). the chemistry is simple and theContinue reading “Rossland Salt Prints”

Our host, Michael Cordiez was instrumental in bringing everyone together including two truly inspirational photographers, Dave Aharonian and Ron Skei. The times we spent talking about our craft and philosophy ofContinue reading “Travelogue – Vancouver, British Columbia”
salted paper prints
well after about a full day of curve design and some tweaks this morning, i finally got a curve that produces a fairly linear curve for salted paper prints. the salted paper process was invented by William Henry Fox Talbot, known as The Father of Modern Photography, in 1833 while he was on his honeyContinue reading “salted paper prints”
rockin’ the low contrast
i recently revisited a few images from a session i did with a friend Olivia. we spent an few minutes at a workshop i was teaching working with a very simple lighting setup. a single, large softbox over head and close to the wall where Olivia was posing. when i went to finish these images,Continue reading “rockin’ the low contrast”
Palladium Prints
a little while ago i ventured back into the darkroom armed with some new ideas for tweaking my palladium printing techniques. i wasn’t happy with the prints that i’d made before. there were issues with clearing the prints and the density of the blacks wasn’t exactly where i wanted it to be. i’d read onContinue reading “Palladium Prints”
my reflected self
the reflection in this shot is not photoshop trickery again. this was a pool of still water that we found out at ringing rocks park. the mirror like surface is just what came through the lens! shot on Ilford Delta 400, pushed to ISO 800. 1/8th of a second at f/5.6 if i recall. scannedContinue reading “my reflected self”
