    The month of April has been very good to me in terms of my work getting out into the public, if not directly then through another provider. It’s a great feeling and hope that more work in the near future becomes of it.

    I was happy to hear back from Paul Van Dyk’s crew about a banner that went up at the Miami Airport. Two are better then one :D

    Raveline, a German magazine which features a two photos, cover and mix sessions of Paul Van Dyk when he played in Vancouver the day before the start of the 2010 Olympics. Not a photo I would have personally chosen but it works as a cover.

    And finally Megaphone magazine, a Vancouver Street Paper sold on the streets by homeless and low-income vendors. All money from the transaction goes into the pocket of the vendor. Those that sell the paper say it gives them a sense of pride and has helped some overcome drug and alcohol addiction, others shyness and insecurity, by giving them a place and a voice in their community. About Megaphone:

    Christmas Cards

    Posted in: Print

    Over a year ago I photographed Meike and Alvin Family portraits in the fall.
    I was informed they were going to use to create Christmas cards to send to family and friends.

    This year I finally came into possession of the mystery card and at first glance the presentation surprised me. Heavy stock,  smooth textured matte finish, and beautiful b/w sepia finish to give it that timeless quality!

    Two nights ago I met up with a client to discuss about her bare wall dilemma. Lets face it, we’ve all experienced it; or will experience the pain of decorating the living space. Linda was looking to purchasing art for her wall but was seeking advice before pulling the trigger on a purchase. Her most imporant concern about photo(s) were it had fit with earth tone apartment colours and hopefully feature trees as the main subject. Once at home, I put together these three examples using just my iphone and photoshop to composite photos like they were prints – adjusted colours, left a drop shadow, faked light fall off and tada!

    Things you should know before printing:

    • Remember to take measurements
    • Sample colours of your living room
    • Use print shops as your reference to build an understanding of all the different types of printing methods
    • Lastly creating a mock up helps in determining an initial if not final output before throwing down big bucks on something you won’t know until you’ve created it! If you aren’t that tech/art savy, ask a friend who’s more familiar with the software. I bet you 8/10, a friend you know used photoshop.
