I've been busy setting up my website using Wordpress so haven't been posting much. Here is a shot of hoarfrost in our garden, taken this morning. #Nature #NaturePhotography #Photography #WinterMorning #Frost #Hoarfrost

The mirror dress is one of my most popular creations, and Minh Ly (I@minhly-model.bsky.social) was in the studio recently to model it as part of a series I am working featuring this outfit.

It took a year to coordinate a time, but Brianna Aiken (IG: @bri.jeep) and I were finally able to do a #tapeBodyArt set with colours selected to match their jeep.

Front and back views of a tape body-art design with @lucyartmodel.bsky.social‬. I last tried doing this tape micro-bikini design about 10 years ago.

I finally picked up a drone, specifically a DJI Mini 4 Pro with the RC 2 controller and extra batteries. Looking forward to learning drone photography and videography. Does anyone else following me in Ottawa have a drone? If so, what type?

Digital projection from a 2014 photoshoot. Hard to believe I've been doing projected-image shoots for more than a decade.

Testing a new post-processing method for #blacklight images. Model Anastasiia(IG: @berlina_____) is modelling the #chainmaille #bikini made with UV-reactive rings.

Testing out my new Sigma 150-600mm with a contribution to the #BlueSkyArtShow on this week's theme of #green. Seems to perform well with an APS-C (crop) sensor to get the 1.6 magnification factor.

A tape body art piece I created for Geneviève Dupuis (IG: @g_dupuis_ ) to test a #blacklight tape that was similar to athletic tape.

Looks like this week's theme is #blacklight, which works well for #BlueSkyMonday. This one is from a 2018 #photoshoot with model Kari (IG: @ah.chooo).
