Head Shots

It's not a very flattering term. But head shots are critical if you want to present yourself in the most flattering way. Board of Directors' pages, model's portfolios, even LinkedIn websites demand better pictures than you can get with a cellphone selfie. The biggest difference with a studio portrait is lighting. It can be dramatic,…

Golf Course Photos

No golf course can present itself well without outstanding photos. We love and know golf courses and have a great deal of experience with photographing them. The best possible time to shoot a golf course is the fall, when the trees present a panorama of colours. It will soon be a perfect time to photograph…

Drone Photography

We've now added drone photography to our photo options. The beauty of a drone shot is that it can capture the view from a few feet off the ground up to several hundred feet. It provides a new and exciting viewpoint. Aerial photography has always been one of the options we provided, but the viewpoint…

Video Clips

Commercial Digital Print ordered a new, large-format colour printer. The largest, newest and most-featured press of its kind in Niagara. This called for some fanfare, so we produced a brief video to post to social media and their website. The one minute video tells the story far better than any press-release or social media post.…

Spring Has Sprung

After a long, cold and dreary winter, it's great to be able to get on-location to capture some of the signs of spring. The big rage in golf course photography is drone shots, but frankly I'm tired of photos from 100 feet up. This photo is at the opposite end of the elevation scale, shot…

Portrait Session

Photographing the Brock University Badger curlers is my way of supporting these student athletes. They need team photos to the websites and programs that are part of national competitions. Shooting the players is part ritual and part hilarity. The guys, for whatever reason, refuse to smile, and prefer the serious competitor look. The girls are…

Back Light, Best Light

Winter light can often be soft and diffused on the cloudy days that are so frequent in the winter solstice. Not every day has a bright, blue sky with white, puffy clouds. Maybe it does on post-cards but not in the real world. But, cloudy days, and chilly winter days can still be a source…

This is a golf course?

One doesn't expect to see a golf course photo with snow! However, when the snow arrives early and provides wonderful contrast with the fall colour that is still on the trees, it creates a photographic opportunity. Just a few weeks earlier, it had looked like a beautiful par 3, radiant with fall colors. Which photo…
