Gym Boss Feature

I was thinking a couple of months back that in the London area there are a lot of kick ass women who own gyms in the area. I came up with the idea of shooting a gym boss feature of women who run gyms. Athletes and Models Magazine loved the idea and gave me a feature to run with. There are a lot of other gyms I didn't get to this time and I think we'll try and make it a quarterly feature in the magazine.

DO Boxing Expo - Promotional Materials

Commercial Photography is always a good area to be involved with. In addition to the fitness and fight photography, I photograph a lot of catalogue and promotional images. Dameon Okposio is a good friend of mine and is putting on the 2017 Boxing Expo in May of next year. It's going to be a huge event, with a trade show, amateur boxing, a boxing combine and the Ontario Boxing Hall of Fame induction ceremony. My photos were used for the sponsorship package being circulated right now. For more information on the 2017 Boxing Expo call Dameon Okposio 647-224-2199.

Beach Shoot with Randi

In August I had to opportunity to shoot some swimwear pictures with Randi Angilene in Port Stanley. We had a nice secluded beach a couple of assistants and very little sunlight left. We started out in pure sunlight, added reflectors and shortly after started adding flashes to brighten up the subject. It was a lot of fun as I rarely get to the beach to shoot. Randi was a great model and in perfect beach body shape.

Couple Fitness Shoot Video

Last month I did a couples fitness shoot with Rob & Kristy. He's a personal trainer and she's a fitness competitor. I've shot with them both before and we have a very relaxed, friendly vibe. I had a video of the session made to show potential clients how fun and easy a fitness session is. I hope you enjoy.

Boxing in the GTA

United Promotions Boxing put on another show at the Hershey Centre Saturday night. I got to see lots of friends there including two of them facing off in the ring and fighting to a draw. It was a good night of fights which saw Ryan Young capture the Canadian Super Welterweight Championship. Photographing ringside is really great and is the best "seat" in the house. I tried a couple of different lenses and settings on Saturday and really enjoyed the results.
