Spring Rain Shoot

We did our first rain shoot of 2023 in the spring. We had a group of aerialists from Elevation Aerial Arts and some other models during the day. Once again thanks to Samantha for handling the makeup.

- Mark Ruddick Photography - My images are an exploration of the human body under muscle stress — understanding the body’s strength, flexibility, and power. Creating these images has given me a better understanding of the human form which has transitioned into my commercial fitness work. 

I am a London, Ontario photographer who specializes in fitness, bodybuilding and fight photography.

I love to tell stories as anyone who's worked with me can attest. That includes visual stories through photographs. Let me tell your story and provide high impact images of you to sponsors, agencies, family or just for yourself.

- London Dance Photo - I am Mark Ruddick, an experienced photographer working in London, ON. I enjoy photographing dancers and really appreciate the athleticism and artistry involved. Coming from a fight photography background, I have developed my technique to capture rapidly moving subjects at high speed in front of the lens. The resulting instinct for timing fight photography has led to an ability to capture my subjects at the peak of their motion in an artistic way.

Let me capture the photos that move you.

Rain Photoshoot

I managed to get a rain shoot in this spring before the big lockdowns hit. These are always so much fun and every model brings a little something different to the shoot. I’m hoping to do another one this summer.

Rain Dance Photoshoot

I had an idea for an indoor rain photoshoot with dancers. I thought about the project for a bit and decided to build my own rain machine with my friend and fellow photographer Stephen Yule. We built the basic premise in the aisle of a Home Depot. On the day of the shoot my Fanshawe work placement students Lin Wu and Katherine Pinzon worked really hard at doing whatever job was needed. Thanks to Wendy of Wendy Joy Photography for the behind the scenes video.

I had a great group of dancers from O’Neill Academy of Dance to test out the rig and the lighting. We got some great pictures and a lot of good memories were made.

We used back lighting to great effect on these dance images.

The front lit dance photos were good too.
