Stephen Eyes | EYES ON TORONTO

This is a series I was inspired to create for my own purpose. The cast and crew of this Independent Toronto Late night talk show came to me for straight forward promo shots. They had a cool concept for a David Lettermanesque late show with live performances by Toronto bands and interviews with cool celebs and personalities. The shot the pilot and a whole season of 13 episodes at the Gladstone Hotel on Queen St. West in front of a live audience. Lots of funny comedians came to do their stand up too, its a pretty cool show which hopefully will get picked up and broadcast in a tube near you.

Anyway a couple of months after we shot I revisited the images, we shot ear member separately and I encouraged them to get a little crazy for the camera, giving me the finger and making faces. I noticed that there we so many cool expressions and there was a total story there, it just needed a little something.

I put together a few pictures i like and composited a surreal story with a theme, or I should say it kind of created it self just used me as a TOOL entering commands and clicking my mouse until these cool composites came together. hmm.. every images has someone stuck in another inaccessible dimension of glass, dunno what it means buts it eerie and cool.

Props to Stephen Eyes (brains of the operation) “Eyes On Toronto” took me a while to put that together- you sneaky devil ;-)) and his crew of talented actors and comedians to really put it all out there and give so much character to the shot.
