Wonderland Part 1: Alice
It was cloudy day, grey and heavy with anticipation. Alice was meeting her friends in the magical world. Rabbit, Mad Hatter, and the White Queen, all showed up for the party. Enjoy!

Bodybuilding by Scott
A few weeks ago, me and Randy Pond were asked by Scott to take his photos while he was working out at the gym. Scott was getting ready for the 2010 Bodybuilding National Championships. It was a short photo shoot, but a very successful one. Never shot in a gym before so I knew lighting [...]
Canon Fest: The Nikonian
So our Canon fest was going great, until we go interrupted by the arrival of an alien species. We later learned that these species, are affectionately called The Nikonians. To tell the truth The Nikonian wasn’t so bad, as a lot of people would have you believe. Yes they do speak a different language, and [...]
Canon Fest: Nina
Here is Nina. Enjoy!
Canon Fest: Marriam
Continuing with my Canon Fest pictures. Here is Marriam. Enjoy!
Canon Fest: Elisha
As our Canon Fest progressed, we moved from downtown Edmonton, to the ever familiar Alberta Legislature grounds. Everyone was paired up with a model and went to take wonderful pictures. Everything was going very well until…. but that’s for the other post, but here is Elisha. Enjoy!
Canon Fest: Danailya
Canon Fest? Yes, a real Canon Fest. Well at least that what me and my two friends called it. Me, Randy Pond, Travis Forsyth and Jenn Townsend-Plant decided to create a a first in Edmonton, Canon Fest. Travis actually came all the way from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to join our little get together. Since we all [...]
Brian and his dog
A few weeks ago, and good friend of mine and a vet went out to Elk Island National Park, to see if we can catch the sunset. We arrived at our favourite spot by Astotin Lake. I’ve photographed a lot of sunsets on that lake, and they are always different. Every one. One always meets [...]
Big Photo Outing: Outtakes
Every photo shoot this size has to have some behind the scenes photos. Enjoy.
Big Photo Outing: Michael
Here are more photos from the big photo outing from about a month ego. Enjoy.
Big Photo Outing: Jena
Yes I’ve been slacking in the posting department. I sincerely apologize for the sporadic postings lately. My excuse is, that I went back to normal work, and being away from it for almost 2 months, makes it a little challenging to get back in the groove. I do have lots of photos to show you. [...]
Road Trip! Part 4: People
Besides seeing a lot of local fauna and flora in the Banff National Park, you always meet the other type of fauna…. the tourists. On a nice day like this there were a lot of them. Which in a way is good, because it provides great shooting opportunities. I just wish I had some business [...]
Wedding on the sidelines.
I really enjoy photographing people. Specially when I can sit on the sidelines, and just observe. This is what happened on the weekend. While I was at the Legislature Grounds there was a wedding photo shoot going on. So I sat on the sidelines and observed the photographer, and from time to time I shot [...]
Bill Cowen Working hard.
Spent a very nice afternoon at the Legislature Grounds, with my family and a good friend. Kids had lots of fun in the open public wading pool, and me and my friend hunted people with our cameras. Legislative grounds are very popular wedding picture destination, and usually you can find at least a couple of [...]
Gillian Crichton and Effie Ether
A few weeks ago, my very good friend Randy Pond asked me if I wanted to test my strength and go on a little photo shoot with him. I agreed, but was a little apprehensive if I could carry my equipment, or at least part of it. Randy arranged everything, the models the place to [...]
Testing a 16mm with Sebastian.
I wanted to see the difference between my Canon 17-40mm wide angle lens and the Canon 16-35mm lens. The 16-35mm is twice as expensive as the 17-40mm, probably because it’s a f2.8, and the 17-40mm is only f4.0-5.6. Numbers aside, testing it in the field produced very similar results. For landscape they are pretty much the same [...]
Kids
Funny thing just occurred to me. I take lots of photos, of everything, but hardly any of my own family. Maybe it’s because I see them all the time? I don’t know. So that’s why I put this compilation of photos, from a couple of our trips this summer. Yeah I know, my kids are [...]

Fort Edmonton – Highland Gathering Part 2
Here are more photos from the the Highland Gathering at Fort Edmonton park. Enjoy.
World Wide PhotoWalk Edmonton 2010 – Part 1
Scott Kelby from NAPP organized another World Wide photowalk. We had 3 photo walks organized here in Edmonton. Since we were walking downtown with Taste of Edmonton, and a downtown market in full swing, I decided to try a little more hip shooting, and concentrate more on people. Here is part 1 of many part [...]
Fort Edmonton – Highland Gathering Part 1
Fort Edmonton Highland Gathering, is a yearly event for my family. We stumbled upon it at one time by accident, and got hooked. No we are not Scottish, but watching bands practicing their instruments and watching big burly men throw telephone poles, makes for a very fun day. The best thing of course is haggis. [...]
Hip shooting the market
The other day, I took my family to one the of the farmer markets. I thought it would be a good idea to test my strength by taking my Canon 5D with one lens. I took off the battery pack, and the only lens I took was a 100mm f2.8 macro. This is an old [...]
Little Poser
On our recent trips to the Fort Edmonton park, I managed to test my strength agains a Canon 5D Classic with a 70-200mm f2.8. Not the lightest piece to lug around, but it’s a such a wonderful camera to use. Again I was trying for candid shots, and the 70-200mm certainly helps with that. I [...]
Being childish
Yes, it’s been a long 2 months. Long and slow recovery, but everything is getting back to normal. I’ve been trying with different cameras, and finally a few days ago, I started with my old big cameras. I’ve been doing all kinds of photography, but mostly I was concentrating on candid shots. I have to [...]
Hospital Stories part 2 Ghosts
I guess every hospital has it share of stories, scares, and ghosts. Walking the corridors today was specially fright full.
Mysteries in the key of W. Part 3
Sorry to disappoint, but this is the last part in the boudoir series from last weekend. Enjoy.
Mysteries in the key of W. Part 2
Here is the continuation from a boudoir shoot from last weekend. Enjoy.
Mysteries in the key of W. Part 1
This past weekend ended with a huge surprise. My wife’s friend decided that she wanted a quick boudoir session done for her husband’s birthday. Luckily I had all my gear charged and ready to go…. quick call to another friend to watch the kiddies for a couple of hours and off we went. It was [...]
Celebrating Spring
I decided to post this photo in celebration of spring. It’s an old one. This was shot for a challenge called “Grass”. I could not think of anything to make grass interesting subject, and then this idea popped into my head. Even though this was taken almost 2 years ago, I still remember it vividly, [...]
Kristina and Landon
A month ago I had a pleasure of photographing Kristina and Landon. We met up in downtown Edmonton, and here are my favourites shots from this engagement photo shoot. Enjoy!
Bianca part 2
Bianca definitely has a lot of energy. As you can see from these photos. Enjoy.
Bianca
I think this time I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.
Kim Part 2
Here are some more photos of Kim. Enjoy.
Kim
Out of all the models that came out to shoot with me and Randy, Kim had a largest wardrobe. I think she changed about five times. With every change she was almost a totally different person. It was a lot of fun shooting with Kim. Proof is in the pictures. Enjoy.
Dan Part 2
Here is part 2 from Dan’s photo shoot. Enjoy.
Dan
Continuing the theme, here is Dan. I have to say Dan was very cool to work with. Laid back attitude, and easy going personality, makes it really easy to get good shots of him. It was a lot of fun working with Dan, and here are some examples. Enjoy.
Medina and Dan
Dan is the first male model I’ve ever shot. I heard all kinds of different stories about male models, and Dan was a complete opposite to all of them. Really great to work with, easy going, and just a cool dude. I gotta get me those aviators!
Medina Part 2
Here are more pictures of lovely Medina. Enjoy!
Medina
Last Saturday I was part of crazy photo shoot. Me and my good friend Randy Pond, wanted to organize a little shoot together… He asked one model to come out, then I asked a couple more, and soon enough it spiralled out into a full blown event with 5 models, and it lasted 5 hours. [...]
Alberta Girl
Nothing says “Alberta Girl” more then doing a photo shoot in of Candace in a bikini in +3C temperatures, and windy. She really wanted to do this shoot, and the previous day the weather was quite nice for late March. Unfortunately the day we planned this shoot, the weather turned for the worse. Candace braved [...]
Hitchhiking
After “Summer in Winter” idea was exhausted, we moved to the main road of the Elk Island park, to shoot a hitchhiker idea. Always wanted to use one of these big cases, and this was a good opportunity. Good thing was that the main road in Elk Island National park, this early in the morning, [...]
Summer in Winter?
I came up with this crazy idea on a spur of a moment. I’m always thinking about weird things, things that don’t belong, and this summer in winter wasn’t any different. I just needed someone to do it with. It’s not an easy task, to be dressed in summer clothes when it’s -5C outside, but [...]
Randomly Disneyland
Here are some shots taken at Disneyland, that don’t really fit into any category. Just walking around the park and snapping pictures. Enjoy.
Christa
I can consider myself lucky. I have met one of my favourite photographers, whom I’ve blog stalking for a while now. It’s none other than Christa Meola. In my opinion she has an amazing way of capturing life as it passes. It was an awesome meeting, although I was very nervous, almost like a student [...]
Being a fly on the wall in California
I love observing people. Specially when they do not know they are being observed. Yes, it’s a little voyeuristic of me, but people are fun in their natural environment. No posing, no artificial smiles, just pure humanity at it’s best. Most of these shots were done during our outing in Santa Monica, and some at [...]
Santa Monica
What would a vacation in California be, without seeing the ocean, and sampling of at least one beach? I thought exactly the same thing…. so off we went to Santa Monica. Yes there are closer beaches to Anaheim, but Santa Monica it was for a few reasons. The main reason, was that we were meeting [...]
Ashley and Danni Part 2
Here is part two, from the photo shoot with Ashley and Danni. Enjoy.
Ashley and Danni Part 1
Back from vacation, and playing catch up at work. I got tons of pictures to go through, and hopefully some will be blog worthy. This will take some time though. So to keep the blog rolling here are some shots from an interesting photo shoot setup by my good friend Randy Pond (a very cool [...]
Wedding on vacation
I was quite fortunate today, because right in front of our hotel there was a traditional East Indian wedding. It was quite interesting, since I never really saw one. Good thing I had a long lens and was able to get a few good shots right from our 15th floor balcony. Then I run down [...]
Vacation Finally
So our vacation has started. It’s promising to be a great time. Lots of fun and one meeting that will be most exciting (for me that is). I will post on that later though. Today I finally was able to test a little camera I got for my older child a while back. It’s [...]
Of sheets, and skin, but no pillows?… Part 2
Sheets, skin, and laughter…. magical things really…. but where did the pillows go? Enjoy!
Of sheets, pillows and skin. Part 1
I think these are self explanatory, so please enjoy!
Of heels, phones, and beads
There is nothing that I can add to this series of photos…. just Enjoy!
Of a shirt, tie and a hat
A shirt, a tie, and a hat can makes things look so interesting. Don’t you think? Enjoy!
Of Oilers and a girl in a shirt
NHL Hockey is in full swing. Being in Edmonton one is bound to be swept up with all the commotion of cheering for the home team, the Edmonton Oilers. GO OILERS GO!
Ah Corri… part 3
This really was a great session. Here are last shots from this series. Don’t fret though there will be more Corri, soon. Enjoy!
Ah Corri… part 2
During this photo session with Corri, I realized how important it is to have an assistant. I have asked a good friend of mine Jenn, whom I shot with before, if she would like to help. She accepted without hesitation. It turned out that this was the best idea I had for this session. It [...]
Ah Corri… part 1
I have been planning a boudoir session for a long time. I was always fascinated by real pros like Christa Meola, and Cathy Empy. I wanted to find out if can follow what they have done, and maybe add something of my own. Everything looks great in theory. In actuality it’s a little different. At [...]
Portrait in the dark
This picture is also from the archives. Yes some may say it’s too dark etc., but I like it that way. I like the shadows, and the contrast. I like the mystery behind them. So that is my explanation. It could be that I badly exposed the original and had to do something to save [...]
Randomly Back in Time
Since the temperatures in Edmonton dropped to well below -20C, it was a perfect time to do a little house cleaning in Adobe Lightroom. I still have to figure out the best workflow for myself, as it is a challenge to find things in my over blown Lightroom catalog. So far I have decided to [...]
Of a girl in a dotted dress, part 2
Here is continuation of the post from yesterday. Enjoy!
Of a girl in a dotted dress, part 1
I met up with Nyla last weekend for an impromptu photo shoot in Edmonton downtown. Although it was sunny, the winds were chilling, so we decided to find someplace inside for the shoot. I guess it’s winter in Edmonton. After a short walk we decided to duck into the City Hall. There is practically no [...]
Girl in a book store.
This is Nyla Stormy. I met her through Model Mayhem, and we did a couple of shoots before. This was a quick 30 min shoot at a local book store. There weren’t a lot of people around which was good. Surprisingly the staff did not bother us at all, maybe because I did not use [...]
Triptych
I was meaning to do this since we got back from our trip to Yellowknife NWT. I took these photos of a very special friend of ours, while she wasn’t really paying attention. I’m a sneaky bugger . I thought of using them individually, but together they somehow tell a little story. So here it [...]
Memories of old Alberta
It was a lovely sunny, albeit cool and windy day. Few months ago, my good friend Art and me decided to visit a place where time stands still. It is a place of memories. Memories of how people lived and worked and loved this land. Then you realize that, this was only about 100 years ago. [...]
Halloween
Finally Sebastian got his wish, and was able to put his costume to good use. It was fairly warm night for trick or treating, and both kids were very excited. This year though, I decided not to take my camera with me, just dress up and enjoy the time with the kids. It was fun. [...]
Getting ready for Halloween
My youngest decides that a week before Halloween he’s ready to go trick or treating. It was very hard to convince him that it wasn’t time yet. The concept of a week was an abstract notion to him, and it would usually last anywhere from 5 min to 15 min, before he would start asking [...]
Darkness
A few weeks ago I had a photo session with one of my coworkers. It was a short session, and I’ll be posting more shots from it, a little later, but today I have two that I was playing with last night. I wanted them to be a little dark, and brooding….. and here they [...]
Kristina and Landon part 2
Here are more summer photos from Kristina and Landon’s photo shoot. Enjoy!
Kristina and Landon part 1
During the summer months I had an honour to be part of Kristina and Landon’s engagement photo shoot. I have been invited to their wedding next year, which is going to be my second photo wedding. Yes I’m a little scared, and hope that I can pull it off with out a hitch. These shots are [...]
Sailing on the Great Slave Lake – The Portraits Part Two
Yep, we even had a band on the lovely sailing boat. There is nothing better than sailing and having two very talented musician provide a perfect balance of guitars and voice to a perfect day. Huge thanks to Amanda and Melvin for making an already perfect day, even more perfect. Of course huge thanks to [...]
Sailing on the Great Slave Lake – The Portraits
Now what would a sailing adventure be without great people. So I present to you a few of the portraits/candids I managed to snag along the way. I have to say that this is one of those trips I will remember for ever. Enjoy.
Edmonton Streets in Black and White
Street photography, for me, is not an easy task. I’m afraid of people. That’s why having a long lens makes a big difference. With the 100-400mm zoom I can take shots from across the street, and people are none the wiser what I’m pointing my camera at. Too bad the lens is white, and it [...]
Finally published!
This is very exciting news for me. I can now officially say that I have been published! We did this photo shoot for a Newport News VA, BMX magazine called Slammed. A very good friend of mine, Tomek Wala, came out as well to help out with the photo shoot. It was great, and we [...]

Streets of Edmonton
I always wanted to try out street photography. I’ve seen some great street photos, portraits, situations, but I was always too scared. I’m shy by nature, and really it took at lot out of me to snap these photos. About a week ago, my fried and I decided to go for a little evening walk [...]
Jenn Part 4
Continuation of the photo shoot with Jennifer. Enjoy!

Jenn Part 3
Here is part 3 from the photo shoot with Jenn. Enjoy!.
Scott
I had a great opportunity to be semi assistant on a photo shoot with Randy Pond. He was shooting a great local bodybuilder, Scott. The shoot went great, and I did learn a few things about body building. The complexity and science that goes into this is mind boggling. I did manage to get a [...]
Northern Pikes Concert
Just got back from an amazing show. The Northern Pikes came to Edmonton. This band has been around since circa 1984. One of my favorite bands. I have all their records! They have a special place in my heart, but I will not go on blubbering here. Needless to say it they still got the [...]
Alberta Prairie Railway Excursions
It was an awesome weekend. Specially Sunday. We got up early in the morning at 6am got the kids dressed, packed some snacks and off we go, destination Stettler Alberta.

Jenn Again Part 1
Last Saturday I had a great privilege to work with Jenn again. She brings so much life and excitement into these photo shoots, that the hours just slip away. The whole idea behind it was to shoot a child’s bike with training wheels and an adult in full motorcycle outfit on that bike. Well, that [...]

Nyla Part 3
It’s be very busy the last couple of days. It looks like I’ll be busy for several more. Had 2 photo shoots this past weekend, and both of them went stunningly. I did manage to break my new shoot through umbrella. In any case, while I work on the new photos, and it seems there [...]

Nyla Part 1
Last week I had a photo shoot with an amazing Nyla Stormy. We met up with at Alberta Museum. I thought it will be a busy place since it was a long weekend. To my surprise the place was deserted. This was good, since we didn’t have chase people away. It was a lot of [...]
Nikki Part 4
It was a very busy weekend, and I wasn’t able to post anything. So today for your enjoyment here is Part 4 of Nikki’s photo shoot. I’m afraid this is the last part, but I’m sure Nikki will be back. So enjoy! Canon 5D, ISO 50, 1/80 sec, f/2.8, 70mm

Corri update
This is the last update of the shots with Corri from last Sunday. Enjoy! Canon 5D, ISO 100, 1/160 sec, f/1.8, 50mm
Watching the Sunset
At the finish of the photo shoot with Jenn last Saturday at Elk Island National Park, we moved down to the beach to have a look at the sunset. I tried taking some shot, but the sun quickly disappeared behind the clouds on the horizon, and the sunset wasn’t as spectacular as it can be. [...]
Jenn updates
Last couple of shots from last Saturday photo shoot with Jenn. Enjoy. Canon 5D, ISO 100, 1/125 sec, f/5.6, 210mm

Faces of Corri
As I mentioned in the last post, last weekend was very busy. I’ve decided to mix things up a little. Today I’m presenting a few shots from the Sunday photo shoot with Corri. That was a fun shoot to say the least. I have to say, that Corri is very dedicated! She spend half of [...]
Jenn
What a busy weekend. Lots of yard work, since spring is slowly waking up. This is not a post about yard work, no matter how interesting it is. This is another post about photos. Yes, this weekend was abundant with them. First on Saturday we had a big photo shoot with Jenn, then on Sunday [...]
Afternoon with Avril
It was a beautiful saturday afternoon. Finally some spring weather in this winter ridden city. Avril is an aspiring model I met through ModelMayhem website. We met up at the Legislature grounds in the late afternoon, because I was hoping that by that time we will have some clouds in the sky to filter out [...]
Trying out new lens.
So the sunday photo shoot didn’t come into fruition. It’s a perfect time of the year to get sick, and unfortunately my model did just that. Too bad, I do hope she feels better. That means I couldn’t try out my new lens….. or could I. All the photos that I take, I hardly take [...]
Jenn Part 5, the last part
Last part of this series. Hope you enjoyed it, as much as we had shooting it. Even though my lights did not cooperate fully. I have to say that Jenn and Dustin are really great to work with, and my thanks to you guys for letting me do this. Enjoy. Canon 5D, ISO 250, 1/200 [...]
Jenn Part 4
Continuing the series with Jenn. This time a little more color perhaps. Again same staircase as in Part 1, but I thought I might try the light from a different angle. Actually the IR sensors on the flashes were very difficult that day, so had to position the flash as best as I could for [...]
Jenn Part 3
This is the next part of the Angel. I had some problems with the flash taking these. In one shot the strobe shot at more than full power, then next it would barely blink. I still don’t understand why this happened, only that it created two interesting effect. The first is my favorite. Enjoy. Canon [...]
Jenn Part 2
Second part of the Jenn photo shoot. I guess the black angel strikes again. Enjoy. Canon 5D, ISO 400, 1/80 sec, f/2.8, 46mm
Jenn Part 1
Last saturday I had a great photo shoot with Jenn and Dustin. I decided to break the posts into parts, because we did a few different things, that don’t really fit together into a cohesive timeline. This is the first part. These were just light tests, and by accident turned out quite nice. The light [...]
Tuff Series the rest
These are some more interesting out takes that I took during out Tuff photo shoot. I kept them in the same spirit as the other ones. Enjoy. Canon 5D, ISO 400, 1/125 sec, f/6.3, 57mm
Tuff series continued.
This is the continuation of the portrait series with Tuff. Next post I will do show some out-takes from the whole photo shoot. One might ask, why are they in black and white. Well the colors were not that great, lots or browns and blacks, and after converting a first couple to black and white [...]
Child of Intel
I found this old sticker in an old junk drawer. I figured it might look interesting on Sebastian. This was a very simple setup. Just a flash light and a blank wall. Enjoy. Canon 5D, ISO 800, 1/125 sec, f/2.8, 70mm
Portraiture
I figured I will try some portraiture with my youngest son Sebastian. I read an interesting passage today. The best way to start with photography, is to start photographing your loved ones. Either you will get clobbered, or you might get some interesting shots like these. These were taken with on camera flash and a [...]
Angel
This is what I have been eluding to in the previous post. Dark and a little different, maybe. Big thanks again to Corri Riczu for being a great model. Enjoy. Canon 5D, ISO 100, 1/125 sec, f/5.6, 30mm Canon 5D, ISO 100, 1/125 sec, f/5.6, 45mm Canon 5D, ISO 100, 1/125 sec, f/8, 23mm Canon [...]
Russian Theme
I had this Russian theme going around my head for a while now. I couldn’t realize it, because of the missing props. By complete chance I happened on a great internet store called Soviet Power. This gem of a site has any thing one ever wanted from the by gone era of old Soviet Union. [...]
Playing with lights again.
I was playing with a couple of umbrellas and changing the intensity of the strobes. Not the greatest shot, but I like it. I like the half lit faces, the little mystery. Enjoy. Canon 5D, ISO 250, 1/125 sec, f/13, 70mm
Corri Riczu Photo shoot
It did not go as planned. Why? Oh because of the twit behind the camera that’s why. All I can say, is that I need to really learn this “studio” work. Studio being inside, with limited lights. I borrowed friend’s Canon Speedlite 580 strobe, so I could master it with my Speedlite 430. I had [...]
Jenn & Dustin
This photo shoot lasted a few months now, and will culminate this saturday, August 30, when I will be photographing their wedding. Yup my first wedding. I decided it would be a good idea to start early, since I never really did anything like that. I mean a wedding is nothing to sneeze at, specially [...]
