Why So Serious?

This is a recent fashion narrative I shot as a collaboration with a Special Effects MUA at Sheridan, Alexis Tataryn. Playing on a school girl & professor / ventriloquist dummy theme, this gory concept was very fun to shoot.

Fashion Work

Here are some of the stronger fashion images that I have in my portfolio. Heavily inspired by photography greats like Horst P. Horst and Paolo Roversi, I enjoy diving into many different areas of fashion.

Drink Photography

Shot this image for a Cocktail ad assignment in my studio class. This pink lemonade shot has a very girly and summer-y feel, which was the criteria for the assignment.

Donuts!

This is a shot I did for a recent studio assignment where we had to photograph dessert. Seeing that I have the most extreme sweet tooth, this shoot was very exciting [and tempting] for me. I decided to pay homage to my love for donuts with my photograph.

Light Painting Portraits

For this portrait series I experimented with lighting my subjects with LED flashlights. I had tried this light painting method with still life/landscapes before and have always wanted to incorporate this lighting style into portraits. I added some strobe to back light my subject as well to create more definition. Additionally, I dragged my shutter for a blurred effect.

Experimenting With Coloured Smoke

I have always been fascinated by smoke, the shapes it can take on, the effect it can give to a photo, and the things it can do once light hits it. Here are some recent portraits I created using some coloured smoke grenades. I wanted little detail visible in the face, as if the subject was being engulfed by the smoke.

Recreating A Historical Painting

Of course as photographers we draw inspiration from all mediums of art, including paintings. I have always been fascinated by historical paintings and have an interest in creating photographs that have a painterly style to them. When I was given the assignment to recreate an old painting for my History of Photography class, I was extremely excited. I decided to recreate a self portrait by Joseph Ducreux, the French painter: "Yawn" - 1783. Below is a comparison shot of the painting on the left and my photograph on the right.
