stretchiing out

Had a nice quiet shoot on the mountain the other evening with Mica Fitness a personal trainer from Montreal. We did a series of "dramatic" stretching exercises for her site. While finishing up our shoot, had the pleasant surprise/visit from David Hopkins who was out enjoying the mountain. David was a professor of mine while studying at Dawson college EIGHT years ago...man time flies when you are having fun.
Here's a peak at what that series will look like;

I know how this little dude feels...

Take a few buddy's and go river surfing in Montreal. After that, either head to the office and get some work done or...head to the pool because it's 37 degrees outside.

Underwater...

Had the pleasure of putting a great team together for a great cause. Denim & Diamonds is an annual Gala event that raises money for Cancer. More specifically Hope and Cope, a support system for cancer patients and their families. The shoot was recently published in their annual Fashion magazine. Here's how it turned out;

I was very happy with the outcome and it was a great LEARNING EXPERIENCE! For my first time out, I really can't complain.

Kes Tagney shot some fantastic footage during the shoot and put together a very impressive final cut which you can see here;
