Encana building photo

While I was dropping off something at a friends place, noticed all the lights in the Encana building being built in downtown Calgary.

Teresa - business portrait

I got a call recently to photograph mortgage agent Teresa at her home. We did a series of shots - but we both really liked this informal looking photo taken in her dining room - looking into the kitchen. Turns out she was also a Calgary Flames fan. Had a great time doing photos of her and her sweet little dog.

Posing for the "photogencially challenged"

Just did a video and article on Posing for the Photogenically Challenged for my Portrait dedicated site - the premise is that when people were young, they didn't really care about the camera and were naturally photogenic. As they get older, some people become shy and awkward as they become overly self aware in front of the camera. This is a learned habit, and if it can be learned, it can be unlearned. This isn't a definitive guide to posing, but just some first steps to learn to relax and be natural in front of the camera, plus a couple of ways to just look better.
