Mel | Toronto Headshot Photography

December 22, 2010 by Ardean Peters

I don’t think I said the word ‘cute’ so much, ever in my life. She just is. And looks AMAZING in front of the camera – with images straight out of the camera – that look like they’d already been edited. We had so much fun on this shoot – with my ‘Macguyver’d’ reflector set-up [i really do need to get a new one!]. I really could shoot her all day long – she is THAT easy to make a […]

Fun with the kids | Toronto Portrait Photography

December 5, 2010 by Ardean Peters

my b.g.d slept over last night and so it was a perfect opportunity to force ask her to pose for me, while I tried out some lighting techniques. She’s a HUGE ham at 11yrs old – and was a major jumping bean, but I managed to nail the shot below – on a really simple lighting setup, that I’m hoping to continue using for my headshot portfolio. Canon 50D | Canon EFS 17-55mm f2.8 lens | f5.6 | iso 100 […]

Samantha – Yowza! | Toronto Portrait Photographer

November 22, 2010 by Ardean Peters

Samantha | Such a doll. Check out this shot. I mean, how cute is she?! Besides rocking such a cute outfit – she endeared in those killer [and I mean killer 6+ heels!], just escaping a tumble, here and there. This was my first time using gels and this was the perfect shoot for it. I love the pop-punk-rock feel of her look. I also used my diy ‘ring light’, for the two closeup shots below, with the solid black […]

Camile | It was dark and a little cold, but Camille was a trooper. This was a different shoot for me, being one of my first ‘night’ shoots. Love that Camille is SUCH a natural personality ~ just had to post so many from the shoot, cause so many are awesome. Enjoy 🙂

Melissa – Fall Fashion shoot | Toronto Portrait Photographer

November 21, 2010 by Ardean Peters

Melissa Hwang ~ find her here | read about our 1st shoot here! | My second time shooting with Melissa and again such a treat. Shooting fashion is new to me, but there couldn’t be a better introduction to it then with a model like Melissa ~ a consummate professional. We met early on a Sunday morning, in downtown Toronto. Working some killer heels and stylish fall jackets, she easily brought some killer looks, while precariously balancing off of ladders […]
