Week 22
Give it up for Daniel Lumia, everybody! This week I shot my friend and bandmate Dan Lumia. We did a simple shoot  to shoot that really shows what he’s all about. Singing, guitar, piano,  rapping and screaming whilst playing the piano.
I couldn’t choose just one, so I put three together, and voila! Triptych!

Week 21
This  week is my friend Ashley from Chatham, Ontario.
I did a four hour  drive to Leamington, Ontario to pick something up, and on the way home I  stopped in Chatham to spend some time with Ashley, seeing as I’d rarely  ever be in the area again! We explored through magical forests and hung out on hill tops. A  glorious day it was.

This week is a double!
Due to school over-riding my life last week, I was unable to photograph someone.
To make up for this, I have done two portraits this week!

Week 16

This week is my friend Chris Sousa.

We went downtown Brampton in the cold to do an interesting shoot.
We walked everywhere looking for the best place to shoot, and finally found something we both could settle on.

After being downtown we went to a grassy park area to shoot some fun shots

Week 15
This week is my current business partner Armida Ascano! We didn’t really have a “full shoot”. Probably because it was my third  or fourth shooting session in two days and i was creatively drained. We went for a vintage, clean and simple look. I contemplated black and  white, but decided not to.
