Description My most favorite style of shooting is to just pickup and go. This most developed style came about from my unique working relationship with Alex. (In fact most of the shots I've done are done now in this pick up and go style.)
So together with some portable lights, and a hand full of outfits, we set out on a chilly Ottawa night with one goal in mind. To have fun. And indeed we did. To me, each picture has its own personality, testament to the creative talent hidden all around this great city.

Yea, it's that over exposure of the light and the balance of her and that panel that really do it for me for this shot.

Yellow at the bottom? Ohhh, you mean hear pants! haha. I'd ask her to get rid of those, but that would kinda change the feeling of the picture eh?

Gorgeus, beautiful and mysterious composition altogether, great lightning and shades in it make it kind of colorful and dark at the same time. Love the blueish in it, definitiely going to add it to my favs

The lighting is crazy and so are the cold colors. This photo takes you there, it makes you travel and feel the photograph. Not much to say except this is amazing.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh, but I just read this as soon as I woke up, and I actually did laugh out loud. Not that what you said was funny, it was really the best comment I've read so far on this piece.
