You saw, the version of that photo with August sharp and Ruffle blurry here a few days ago, here is now the photo taken about one second later.

You guys have no idea how much I enjoy shooting with my new 85mm. That lens is so fast and soooo sharp at f/1.2!

I haven’t actually used it at any other aperture so far, and I am not about to, as it is so bokehlicious! (as my friend Thierry M would say.)

I flew back from Alberta late last night, and I have seen some crazy things in the past 3 days, some incredibly sad and some very fun and intense.

Yesterday, I spent 6 hours outside by -25 degrees, directing 20 people, 6 trucks and 2 trailers in front of a giant oil rig. And at some point the buttons of my camera started to freeze. My face was red last night too.

In the meantime, as I mentioned here a few days ago, during my latest studio shoot with August Wiled, there might have been another model.

Indeed, Ruffle Silkskin, a Vancouver burlesque dancer came by the studio as well.

I have a lot of very cool photos of her, but for now, as a teaser and transition between August’s shoot and hers, here is a photo of the 2 of them together.

Well this is it Folks, I have officially moved in to a brand spanking new studio in Vancouver.

This project has been on the back burner for quite a while now, and it is finally time to crank things up a notch. In my previous little studio I could shoot one or 2 models at the time, now I can shoot about 20 models + a big truck (not that this kind of setup would ever happen, but if it does, I am ready for it…)

This new venture would not have been possible without my good friend Dina Goldstein, who put all this together. I couldn’t be happier and honored to be able to share the studio with her. You might know her from her internationally famous “Fallen Princesses” photo series. She also recently finished the spectacular “In the doll house” project.

Dina was the first photographer to get back to me when I reached out to people 4 years ago, fresh off the boat from France. And my Canadian career would definitely not have started that fast if it hadn’t been for her.

My first official shoot in the space is this week-end, I’m pretty excited to see what I can do with it.

Stay tuned for some new cool photos.

My friends Lizbit and Cyn came to the studio to say “hi” last week. So we took a few photos.

I’m not one to let a portrait opportunity go to waste.

When you work as a photographer, all of your friends think that you only do glamor stuff and photo shoots in spectacular locations with models running around half naked.

While you actually spend 90% of your time on your computer, either processing and editing photos or videos, social-networking, quoting or invoicing clients etc…

But 90% in the office means you still have those 10% shooting on location somewhere.

And if you play your cards right, that 10% can be worth the wait.

Yesterday was a “10%” day.

I got to collaborate with Jennifer Williams and Kelly Trerise and a bunch of models (and yes, they where running around half naked…) and we were shooting at the 54th floor of the tallest building in Vancouver, the Shangri-la.

If you’re not familiar with Jennifer and Kelly’s work, check them out, if you’re a woman, be sure to book yourself a boudoir session with them, I can assure you you won’t regret it.

I’ll tell you more about the actual reason I was on set yesterday very soon, when I can show you the result of my hard work. (Yes, it was fun but we still shot for 12 hours straight.)

In the mean time, here is a photo of what we had to work with all day.

Today, I finally received a book I’ve been looking forward to reading for a while.

Helmut Newton’s autobiography. We all know his photos, but who is he really?

I read the first few pages as soon as I got it. Man, his childhood was pretty messed up!

I mean really!!!

Filthy rich family, evil step brother, manipulative scary mother, got beat up in school because he was dressed like a girl.

And I’m only 20 pages in…

It’s such a good read, I can’t wait to pick it up again tonight.

Guess what…?

The nice people of “The Dignified Devil” recently featured my “Nude Fine-Art Series” on their website.

And for the occasion they asked me a few questions about what I do, how and why I do it…

If you wanna know a bit more about me and my work, you should definitely check it out.

A few weeks ago, I photographed Kieran and Rin separately for my nude fine-art series.

Last week, they told me that they thought it would look pretty cool if they posed together. It took them about 3 tweets to put it together and the shoot got scheduled for last Thursday.

Rin and Kieran had never met prior to the shoot, but decided to give it a go and trusted that everything would work out fine.  (it usually does…;o) )

You saw the portrait they shot together, now here is the first nude fine-art photo for you.

Do you think it worked out ?

I was browsing through the photos we shot this morning with Rin and Kieran and that one just hit me in the face. I don’t exactly know why, but I really, really like that image.

This is a little teaser of what’s coming.

Last week, Malloreigh came to my studio.

In Vancouver, if you ask around in the modeling/photo/art industry about Malloreigh, most people know who she is.

Myself included. Before we actually met, I had seen a lot of her work with other photographers. Some of it with the talented Kim Gillett.

Anyway, I was pretty happy when we finally got together thanks to Rin (whom you can see just below, and happens to be her best friend). Rin knows Malloreigh, Kim knows Malloreigh, I know Kim and Rin, well, chances were that if I played my cards right, I would meet her too some day. (small world I tell you.)

So here is one of the photos we took together for you.
