Amy Savin – Singer-Songwriter | Toronto Portrait Photography

November 17, 2010 by Ardean Peters

Amy Savin ~ amysavin.com | Amy: She is effused with energy, life and love. Her Family: so evidently a strong, endearing & present part of her life. I came to take pictures of her – and sat in her kitchen eating lunch, as if family. She has a passion surrounding her and it bubbles out in her music. A singer-songwriter with a beautiful voice – she sings with with the deepest part of her heart. But more than that, she […]

Red Mesbouris | On-Air Personality | Toronto Portrait Photography

November 16, 2010 by Ardean Peters

Red Marianthe Mesbouris ~ Tech with Red | And what an awesome personality at that. You know that this woman is a force to be reckoned with, the moment you meet her. Vivacious, energetic and full of presence. When you first meet her, you are blown away and hard pressed not to be caught up in her ball of energy and swept away. I was lucky enough to meet her, to work on some promo shots for her. She is […]

Barry Szeto – Toronto Singer | Toronto Portrait Photography

November 16, 2010 by Ardean Peters

Barry Szeto ~ barryszeto.com | I think I’m starting to see a trend with musicians. So far the ones I know, all project a happy, positive, infectious, spirit: and Barry is no exception. Even though he had performed the night before, and so was working off of little sleep, he was welcoming and energetic and ready to rock this shoot, which he did nicely. The two black and white pics below, were done in ‘the studio’ [remember that Barry?!] and […]

November 15, 2010 by Ardean Peters

{make-up by Cory Graham-Smith} Canon 5DMkII | Canon 50mm f1.4 | 1/125 | ISO50 | f1.4 An interesting shoot and my first using black seamless. Shot with one speedlight in a 28″ softbox and 1 bare speedlite on the background. I loved the make-up and love some of the really awesome images that came out of this. Just wish that I had had the foresight to come up with a good concept to go along with it. Now that it’s […]

{sneek peak of my ‘Sugar Skull’ shoot with Dee & Amber} Canon 5DmkII | Canon 50mmf1.4 | 1/125 | ISO50 | f1.4 1 speedlite camera left in 28″ Westcott Apollo softbox I have a friend who is wandering. I’m not sure what she’s looking for. Happiness? A feeling of accomplishment? Wish I could help her but I don’t know what to say. She needs the courage and discipline to choose somethings to do and stick to them. The above is […]

My sister is a dancer | Toronto Portrait Photography

November 11, 2010 by Ardean Peters

{ Happy B-day T!} i ‘realised’ this, after asking her to pose quickly for me yesterday. and as she starts to pose, i’m like, ‘You know how to move – oh that’s right, you’re actually trained in dance!’. Duh! She did formal Ballet training for years and especially as a formally trained Ballet dancer, you are taught how to move and body positioning down to the very tips of your fingers, is important. She recalled that her teacher Donita, would […]

The Vision | Toronto Portrait Photographer

October 21, 2010 by Ardean Peters

Gregory Elliot aka ~ The Vision.com | These images are the result of an impromptu hour long session, at 1am in the morning. Creativity struck, and we had a lot of fun with these. I can say, having such an expressive subject as The Vision makes my job so much more easier. Also, not ‘thinking’ about the shots [having not planned to shoot] and rather just doing/figuring out lighting on the fly, made it a very organic and collaborative shoot. […]
