KPMG: Toronto Corporate/Commercial Photography

I recently did some photography work for KPMG. My friend Jeff (you might recognize him, see here), is the model for the shoot, and he also worked some Photoshop magic as the creative director on the job (through his brand strategy and identity design company).

The photos are for an internal company brochure. These are the images after Jeff tweaked them in Photoshop to fit the design/colour as necessary for the project:

This was a quick shot I did of Jeff, testing the light:

CNE 2013 Photo Round-Up: Toronto Photography

Filed under: Blog,Life,Out & About — Tags: 100 mm f2.8 macro, 2013 CNE, 24-70f2.8L, 70-200 f2.8L IS, Canon, CNE — Holly @ 8:27 am

What fun being an official CNE blogger was! Fun to visit the CNE multiple times, and especially fun to photograph it!

This is my sixth, and last, blog posting about this years CNE. My first blog posting (see it here) was from my opening day visit to the CNE, some beautiful sunset shots of the many rides. My second blog posting on the CNE (see it here) was all about the yummy treats that can be found there. My third blog posting was about the CNE games (see it here). Fourth posting was all about the CNE Farm Building and the adorable animals found there (see it here). Fifth was all about the CNE Air Show, find it here.

So this blog posting is just a round up of images I hadn’t posted, so let’s get started with this cool shot of the CNE Zip Line ride with a beautiful cloud filled backdrop:

Brave Zip Line riders!

So MANY brave Zip Line riders!

The CNE Sky Ride and evening shots of the Zip Line ride:

Simply could not resist shooting the bottle game again!

And again, and again…

Photographing the CNE Candied Apples was also fun!

Spent some time in the Direct Energy Centre checking out the wares:

Hope you have enjoyed viewing these images as much as I enjoyed taking them!

Spa Day: Toronto Photography

My sister won a contest, sponsored by Maple Leaf, so we, and two friends, were treated to a lovely ‘spa day’. A chef arrived to cook us a delicious lunch, before we each had individual massages, manicures and pedicures. What a lovely indulgence it was!

The salad the chef prepared:

Perfect looking strawberries for the salad:

Prepping the lettuce:

Slicing the strawberries:

Corn cobs:

Great technique for removing those pesky corn silks:

Corn cobs started in the pot the chef brought with him, chicken (the ‘Maple Leaf’ part), started in his frying pan on the gas stove:

Corn was then moved to a frying pan, fried in bacon fat if I recall correctly…if you didn’t like bacon, not sure you’d enjoy this lunch! lol. 😉

Dicing thick slices of bacon:

Frying:

Crispy bacon was added to pre-prepared potatoes, part of a potato side dish:

Then it was warmed in the pan…with more bacon fat…yum! It’s certainly not a way I usually eat!

Alice watched the proceedings from the kitchen window:

The finished lunch plate. A wonderful start to our spa day experience.

A few favourites from a recent family shoot. What a beautiful family! We started at the kids school yard playground, moved to the belt line for some photos, and then finished with ice cream, fun, fun, fun!

The whole family:
