dancing in the dark
We had the honour and the pleasure of working with Propeller Dance a second time this summer. You may recall that we shot the image for the poster promoting their wonderful show ‘Attitude’ earlier this year and we naturally jumped at the chance to photograph this wonderful group again, this time for Able. The full gallery ...

Able goes to Parliament
Our Able project has been an eye-opening experience for us so far. We have had the privileged to meet so many amazing people doing even more amazing things…When we approached the Honorable Manon Perreault, a new NDP Member of Parliament, to be part of our adventure, she was immediately on board and provided us access to ...

Framed
This is the fourth and last instalment from the ballerina warehouse bonanza shoot. This location has such a wealth of amazing spaces, we couldn’t resist taking a few more of Neshka framed by this gritty doorway. She pulled out all the stops for these images, executing incredible poses over and over. We kept the lighting ...

Tony Walby Can
We were assigned to shoot local athlete Tony Walby, fresh off a win at Judo’s US open, for the cover of Kitchissippi Times. Tony made the national team when he was 16 years old and retired from able-bodied judo 2 years ago, at the age of 36, due to a congenital vision disorder. He was promptly ...

Ballerina Bonanza Part Deux
When you have awesome talent and a great location at your disposal, well, you don’t just let go that easily . The warehouse we used for this shoot is huge and offers a wide array of locations-within-a-location that are as varied as they are interesting. An old storage locker offered the perfect backdrop to our ...

Flashdance (??)
Meet Eba. She is sweet, talented and up for meeting two complete strangers in a sketchy, disused warehouse on a cold, damp Saturday morning, for the sole purpose of making images. The concept for this shoot was a very simple one: contrast the grace and beauty of ballet with the dark and gritty look inside ...

introducing: Able
The idea for this project stemmed from listening to a radio interview in which the subject commented on how often people with disabilities are first seen through their disability, as opposed to through their personality. The interview really struck a chord with us and sparked the desire to create this personal project. ‘Able’ is a series of images that ...

Yoga Warfare
Strength, flexibility and grace are world rarely uttered to describe me (Younes speaking here), except may be to say that I have none of them. Which is why this project Amanda and I have been pursuing for the last few months keeps me shaking my head more and more each time. You see, we seek ...

Checkered lights
We have been talking about working with athletes on a shoot for quite some time, but the idea never really materialized. Either for a lack of athlete models or lack of specific projects for them…However it all changed a few weeks ago. It all started with this location. We drive by this disused workshop/warehouse in ...

A day at the water park
You gotta love the way things come together sometimes . We drive to and from Montreal on a fairly regular basis. On one return trip shortly after Christmas we had the simultaneous thought that the empty, snow-covered waterpark off highway 417 would make for a great location, and planned to contact them upon getting home. ...
