If really, really, really ridiculously goodooking (in the words of my friends in Australia) girls are your thing, then check out my latest exclusive editorial for Sticks and Stones Agency here. I shot the stunning Ruqayyah from B&M Models in the Annex area of Toronto. We even managed to pay homage to Honest Ed's by snapping some shots there, pity that the landmark is coming down. This one of my favourite shoots to date and its nice to see my work showcased next to some of the top and emerging photographers in the world. I am seamlessly marrying the art of hair and photography together and its cool to be getting recognition around the world. Check the shoot out and please share it with people... My work needs to be seen to be appreciated. Also, head to Guidotakespictures.com to see more pictures of Ruqayyah and other beautiful women.
Siovan Hope for Junnnktank
I recently shot Siovan Hope exclusively for Junnnktank in a piece titled Spontaneous Summer which you can view and read the interview by clicking here. This is a pretty cool shoot and I was thrilled to be shooting Siovan while she was here in Toronto (she divides her time between Toronto and Manhattan). If exotic looking women from exotic places are your thing, then head to Junnnktank to check it out. As usual, spread the word, the world needs to see this.
2 editorials in 1 day
Im playing catch up... Recently had 2 editorials drop on junnnktank. One of them which you can see by clicking here is with Vanessa Di Staulo and consists of a pool, a family heirloom of a chair, some American Apparel fashion, a sauna, and an elevator. The other which you can see here is of Keilih Stafford which believe it or not we shot in the dead of winter, on literally the only half decent day of January. Anyone that lives in and around Toronto knows what kind of winter we had. This one consisted of some greenery, more American Apparel fashion, some outdoor siding, and some great shots. Check it out.

Fredau for Junnnktank
Recently I shot a beautiful Dutch model named Fredau with makeup by Steph Wong. This shoot encompasses all things including beauty and nudity. It is such a well written article and gives a quick glimpse into the beautiful side of nude art photography, obviously with my trademark snapshot style. You should head over to junnnktank and check it out. Fredau is a beautiful girl with an even more beautiful personality and an openness that is refreshing. Check it out.

Go to offtherailsmag and check out my latest editorial "exhale". A beautiful editorial capturing Kate's natural beauty in a candid way. Check it out, like it and share it. The world needs to see this.
Wonders of the Sky featuring Kristen Aubin
Just shot a really cool editorial featuring the unforgettable Kristen Aubin of Plutino Models. Visit Junnnktank and give it a read. You will read my thoughts on bodysuits, what I think is cool, and my thoughts on interstellar life. That is right, all those 3 topics rolled into one, among stunning visuals shot by me of Kristen. Kristen is one of Toronto's most beautiful models, and pretty much one of the coolest I have ever worked with. Check it out, share it, and help get my visions out there for everybody to see.
A Busy Week
This week was an incredibly busy week, juggling my yorkville salon and my photography. I had 3 published editorials this week. The first, "elusive girl" can be viewed here , and features the stunning blonde Maija Ahonen. Not only is she a client at the salon, but she is a beautiful model and stylist and incredible fun to work with.
The second editorial was featured in Blum Magazine, in print, and features the gorgeous Jade Lovie and can eventually be viewed here. I have to say, I am still a big fan of print editions. seeing your work in print really gives you a chance to appreciate the quality of the photos. Stay tuned for a self portrait posing with my copy of Blum.....
Last but not least, the undeniably beautiful Josee Hicks all the way from the east coast was featured here and is really worth the read. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to stye Josee's hair and shoot her in her short time here. I got the call from Josee's agent, Peggi Lepage and we set up a snap shot session in no time. This is one girl to watch and definitely one of the nicest girls I have had the pleasure to work with.
So there you have it, busy week.
