Knife Photography

I decided to experiment and photograph some of my knives this last weekend. One of my former students Majid came to help out. We ended up shooting 4 knives over the course of a few hours. I have a list of things I’d do differently next time, but I’m happy with the results. Product photography with reflective surfaces is not always easy.

Knife #1 - Nitro V steel, giraffe bone and micarta handle from BG Bosch in St Thomas, ON.

Knife #2 - AEL-B Steel, micarta handle, a great little slicer from David in Belleville, ON.

Knife #3 - Damascus VG-10 steel, mother of pearl / Apache gold handle from Santa Fe Stoneworks.

Knife #4 -Gulo Pro D2 Steel, stainless steel handles from Boker.

Knife #5 - Artisan Cutlery - Osprey in M390 / Titanium

Back in Studio with Dancer Maddie

The studio is finally back open and I was happy to get back to it with long time collaborator Maddie. Maddie is in her last year at the O’Neil Academy of Dance. We played around with some different lighting and poses and got some great pictures. After a couple of months of not shooting my timing wasn’t razor sharp, but we managed nicely. I uses a lot more one and two light setups than I normally would for dance.

Dance in the Rain 2.0

This time setup went much faster and smoother. No pipes broke on setup, so it was a good morning. I had lots of different dancers, all different ages and styles in that day and even one of my fighter friends. Assisting on the day were Kevin and Rebecca.

Kids Portraits

I know this is a big shift in gears for me, but I really enjoy working with kids. I was a scout leader for years and even did some foster care work in the past. One of my clients brought their child with them to a shoot and we decided to get some portraits of them on a whim. The photographs turned out great so I started to more sessions with kids. I’ll be posting future work to @londonontarioportraits as well as on this site.These have been a lot of fun to shoot and if you would like formal portraits of your child, please just message me.

This young man has style and chose out his wardrobe for his portrait.
