Shooting with Merline. It was her first photoshoot & she did great with taking direction 👏 Excellent to work with & fun to chat with too.
She didn't have a lot of wardrobe options so I provided her with some from my shoot closet. She's wearing one of my tops here.

Stefan, one of my 2 local volunteer models for a past themed fake film style warriors photo shoot in East Sooke. I conceptualized it & worked with Kristin Grant to create the bodypaint designs that I imagined in my head. She did a great job & it was a fun collaboration. She's now based in #Kelowna - check out her website:

The leather mask used here was handmade by local #LeatherCrafter - Rad Juli. I met Juli in the local indie artists community. We've collaborated on other photoshoots with some local burlesque performers. Juli is also a rad drummer & active in our local music scene.

Kelly, as #JasonVoorhees
Cristina, as about to be murdered victim.

From my past Halloween themed photo studio fun group shoots party, in Rock Bay, where I had a work studio for awhile. I directed the group shoots & had set up 4 different shooting environment zones(1 outdoor & 3 indoors). We all had lots of pre-Halloween fun!

#Amputee #Paralympian - Stephanie Dixon.
I had the opportunity to meet an amazing past multi #GoldMedalist Paralympian at PISE. Stephanie is an incredibly inspiring young woman who has not allowed her disability to impede her dreams. I have such respect and admiration for her and it was a great at-work experience for me.

Al was one of my past fave local male model muses. He's also a fellow weirdo & creative artist. I did a directed shoot with him in my old studio space. This was one of 3 of my fave photos from that shoot.

She's a local, natural #BlackBeauty who doesn't need much makeup at all. We had lots of fun, shooting together in #Esquimalt.
