Its been awhile but there's sooooo much to come. Ive got some photos from my first wedding that I'll release soon, I also have some great shots from a break dance competition I was asked to shoot at Alfies Nightclub and a spread being released in the coming weeks for Muse Magazine. There is also a few creative shoots in the works... but for now I leave you with the launch photo I took for Muse...

way overdue, J-Bird and I on a lazy day...

big props for this girl's mad connections and amazing friend and colleague, Pat Denroche. Highlightttss. Here's the link to the all of them but they can start getting redundant and the forum of posting is not as nice:  http://s1089.photobucket.com/albums/i356/kyliebignell/hollerado-raa-arkells/

 

(no one ever takes enough photos of the drummer, plus he was so nice and invited me on stage during the concert to take a photo...sooo naturally Im in love)

Man has it been a long day. This morning I finally got to dive directly into some fashion photography with some wonderful team members. The beautiful and fearless Nicole Emmett approached me with a request to shoot her last collection before she ran off to be fabulous somewhere other than Kingston. Agreeing was a no brainer lets just say that...

What I've come to realize is that trying to negotiate on models is really really easy when both of you just want the same person. Voila... Nicola (rhyming is a symptom of intense sleep deprivation... isn't it?)

At 6:20am this morning the troops rolled in for hair and makeup, and we wrapped the shoot by 9am and so began the editing binge. Nicole and I affectionately named it something along the lines of a seriously sophisticated walk of shame... but that girl's way too fierce to care who sees her.

Here you go folks, I think it's dreamy :)

 let's call it a 3rd re-imagining... yellow

the dark side of a ballerina... ya... like that's never been done before. MA BAD. Wanted to try out some rim lighting and Michelle graciously agreed to take part in my whim. bam, I hope you enjoy this rando super-long post.

It's just incredible sometimes what happens when you can't sleep.

(notice the slightly smaller post size...)

 Just another intolerable heat wave in Kingston :)

Yo guys, heres the video that I helped assist with. Ya... thats my name in the credits.

Model and Muse, Erika Moll and her stunna good looks.

So I got this killer shoot planned for the July 3rd, which I intend to edit exactly like a magazine spread. Fake it till you make it...right? RIGHT! So... today I shot and edited the title page which I think is really important to shed light on the mood of the entire spread.
I should save it...
I should really save it for the unveiling
I shouldn't post it now
I should just delete this entire post...
BUT I CANT!

Im not usually for cursive text but it works here... don't lie. AND to be honest this first draft is probably too warm for the aesthetic of the actual shoot when I start editing it, but this is an exciting starttttttttttttttttt.
