inspired by fer.

On Wednesday, I was privileged to attend a workshop by a photographer, who in my opinion is one of the best in the world. His name is Fer Juaristi and not only is he a top notch artist, he is a quality human being. One of the biggest things I learned from this crazy mexican was to let go and not be afraid to create – unleashe my creativity and shoot images that I love to shoot. I love images that are raw in emotion, aesthetically appealing in composition and dynamic in light.  Fer’s workshop inspired me to always keep those elements in mind as I shoot, and I know the results will be killer.

I was truly inspired on Wednesday, and I can speak for the other photographers that were there with me: Fer is the bomb. http://ferjuaristi.com/

A special thanks to the #mofos at Nordica Photography for getting this all together and a big thank you to the biggest #mofo, Fer! I cannot wait for this wedding season!

The following images are my favourites from throughout the day. Which one is yours!? :)

where have you been | part II.

This is a continuation of the #waldo inspired shoot which can be found HERE.  We took a coffee break after the first outfit to take refuge from the cold weather and prep for the second look. By the time we got back out into the streets, the sun had vanished behind the clouds and it started to get really windy… then the rain came… and then it snowed… Enjoy!

bohnjello the remix.

Hi. :) Welcome to the first blog post on my new website! I just want to thank you all for your continued support and kind words during these last couple of months. I’m doing what I love and to have all of you behind me, it makes everything that much better. Cheers to all of you, and have great weekend.

Special thanks goes out to Jelyssa, for all your help. You rock! <3

vegas.

At the end of February I attended my first ever WPPI convention in Las Vegas. I was privileged enough to hear some of the most illustrious photographers speak, witnessed the most incredible award winning images, bonded with fellow Vancouver friends, met a handful of photographers from around the world who I really admire, partied with them, ate copious amounts of food (well the word ‘food’ is giving what I ate way too much credit), came to the realization that every photographer in Vegas but me, had an iPhone and WALKED. SO. MUCH! :)
The pictures below are from my experiences outside the convention bubble, walking around the strip, at the desert, in my hotel room… in no particular order… kind of like how my mind felt when I was there! Nonetheless, this was one week of my life that has left me ultimately inspired and driven to push myself to work on my craft, and most importantly, my business. Till’ we meet again Vegas, I had a blast!

#AreYouOnInstagram?

sure.

On Thursday, Mr. Sachin Khona (www.sachinkhona.com) and I took to the road and scouted the area within Lighthouse Park. We were lucky enough to catch glimses of the sun, and it made for some rad pictures. Take a look!

where have you been.

This shoot is really special to me. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to shoot for myself and really see how far I could push my creative boundaries.  As of late, I’ve been feeling a little uninspired.  It wasn’t until I had collaborated with some insanely talented people this past Sunday, that my dryspell of inspiration finally let up. It just goes to show that when you are able to surround yourself with an energetic team, each person equally inspired, full of vision and enthusiatic about a project, amazing things can be produced. Below is part one of this collaboration:
