ITALBEC INTERNATIONAL // AD CAMPAIGN

Into the studio walks Olimpia Testa the visionary behind many of the concepts created by Italbec over the years. I should also mention that she is an Instagram addict!!!! Not far behind Olimpia walks in Irina & Tony who are leading the marketing campaign for this awesome Montreal company.

The Foot Selfie has been a beautiful, although at times misunderstood, phenomenon that has been rocking profiles of Instagram for a number of years now. What better way to show off sexy one-of-a-kind ceramics & tiles than by adding equally sexy and stylish shoes. Oh, and Kim’s legs are pretty easy on the eyes too :)

During our first pre-production meeting when (delicious) shoes were brought up, I immediately thought about giving my good friends at BROWNS a call. We introduced the concept to them, they loved the direction and voila! a collaboration was born :)

The shoot will be a two part series. Half dropped this summer and the 2nd half will be coming out FW2015.

Here’s how the first billboard turned out. Please excuse my face in the foreground...

If you have been by the studio you might recognize the black radiator

BREAKFAST CLUB OF CANADA // PRINT CAMPAIGN

That's Chris on the left. He’s the art director over at Carl Inc. as well as a very professional stand-in model during the Walmart Breakfast Club of Canada shoot. Not too sure about that other guy on the right though...

Here's a short stop-motion of a fruit powered rocket launch that we put together in order to help launch the campaign. Pun intended :)

(if you haven’t already) MEET JUSTIN TOITO

I have worked with many singers and musicians over the years. When i found out that Justin was coming by the studio i thought, ok cool. He’s got a great look and he’s being mentored by the great Mike Goldfarb of Talent Nation so he must be pretty good.

Fast-forward to the day of the shoot, we knock out a couple of amazing portraits to start the day, including the B&W you see just below. By that point i’m thinking. ok, maybe better then “good” as things are off to a smooth start! During the 3rd or 4th shot, I asked Justin to simply sit on a bench in the middle of the studio with his guitar and sing a few tunes...HOLY SH*T!! Good?? This guy is amazing. He was about 2/3's of the way through a song before I realized that I hadn't taken a single shot. I'm just sitting there on an apple box listening. fantastic.

So the word on the street is that since this shoot took place, Justin has been flown out to L.A. to write and record an E.P. with the producer Brian Howes. I wouldn’t expect any less from this guy. Really looking forward to seeing what 2015 will bring to Justin.

Cheers.

TERRA NOSTRA // SS2015

I had the pleasure of working with a great team for the latest Terra Nostra campaign. Shot this past December in the days leading up to Christmas on location at the newly renovated Omni hotel in Montreal. I'm happy to plug these guys as we could not have asked for a more welcoming & accommodating location to shoot in. The agency and client were hoping for an Art Deco vibe with a modern twist for this shoot. Not an easy task late December in Montreal however after numerous scouting trips all around town, we finally found what we were looking for:)

Hope you guys enjoy!

{SUGAR MEETS SUSHI}

If you haven't seen the work of Ben Liu aka BENDA, consider this your introduction. He is a Montreal based artiest/Illustrator collaborating with fashion and culture publications such as ELLE, Marie Claire & L'Officiel. As well as Impressive list of commercial clients. Flip through his fashion and editorial works and you can easily get lost in his magnificent world of colours, shapes & design...

I was very excited when i found out that Ben found some inspiration in an image that i created with the good folks over at the agency Carl Inc. for the restaurant Kyo Japanese Brasserie.

I asked Ben about the painting and he said he would walk by the mysterious Geisha each morning in the subway (it was releases in a series of Out Of Home ads) and he would just stare at her. Then Montreal funny man and master of cultural mash-up Sugar Sammy's new promo campaign was released. The comedic master ended up on a poster side-by-side with the elusive Geisha annnnnd voila!

Sugar Sushi

Here's what the original campaign ad running looked like.

More details can be found about the Geisha shoot in this earlier blog post.

WHEN YOUR THIS YOUNG, THEY CALL YOU TEAGHAN:)

So the amazing Teaghan Young swung by the studio while in Montreal last November to shoot some new images to compliment upcoming songs and videos she will be releasing. Teaghan is a singer songwriter from Calgary with some amazing talent (and pipes). Being an experienced performer as well as already appearing on a few TV shows, she couldn't have made my job any easier:) It was a pleasure to have her at the studio!

Meet Teaghan! if you follow the blog a little, you might already know Martine (peace) & Mike (Beard/GreyCard/Crazy eyes) :-)

We did a bunch shots in the studio, as well as the local neighbourhood. We were lucky to have the weather cooperating that day. There could easily have been a foot of snow on the ground.

INDUSTRY GTX // FW2015

Have a look at my latest shoot for the activewear company Industry GTX a division of Manhattan International. The goal for this shoot was to achieve lots of movement & action in an industrial environment.

I figured i'd start this post with a photo of the good-time-gang so you can meet the team and get an idea of the lighting setup. note the cardboard box being used as a flag to cut lens flare. we make do!!

Here's how the layouts turned out for the LookBook.
