Female Eye Film Festival 2010

April 27, 2010 By 1 Comment

This year I had the pleasure of photographing the 8th Annual Female Eye Film Festival.  I got to meet and photograph some amazing talent, including Catherine Hardwicke (director, Twilight/Thirteen), Carson Kressley (Queer Eye for the Straight Guy), Karen Black (Easy Rider), Kit Redmond (RTR Media), and many more.

I also got to check out a few amazing films (though not nearly as many as I’d have liked to, I was so busy shooting!) and definitely recommend these ones:

16 to Life directed by Becky Smith – a coming-of-age comedy about a young woman who has the worst sweet-16 birthday, and has never been kissed.

Black Field directed by Danishka Esterhazy – a gothic romance/suspense set in the Canadian prairies.  This unlikely-sounding tale will draw you in.

Love at the Twilight Motel directed by Alison Rose – fantastic documentary examining regulars at rent-by-the hour motels on the Miami Strip.

Here are some behind the scenes pics….stay tuned for the Catherine Hardwicke portraits which will be released on my website very soon!

First 7D Test Footage

April 23, 2010 By 1 Comment

Here’s a quick sample of footage shot with my new Canon 7D – it was shot in 2 hours on Tuesday afternoon in the local park as a test.

The only equipment used was the camera, my Canon lenses, and a photo tripod. It was edited in Final Cut and no colour grading was used on this video – which means this is basically how the footage looks straight out of the camera!

Also, no planning went into this at all. It was literally grab the camera, and take random shots of whatever looked interesting.  The music was totally unplanned.  It was great to just grab and go, and see what came out of it spontaneously, as this is how I’m often used to working when I shoot stills!

Demo Reel 2010

April 20, 2010 By 2 Comments

After my stint of self-taught filmmaking, one short film, and camera assisting and operating on a few hit music videos – I’m happy to announce my first ever demo reel!

I hope this will be the first of many.
