This photo was shot for the new Crossfit gym on Queen West, awesome workouts used by the military. High intensity, short bursts, you leave your guts on the floor every time. Definitely the best workouts I’ve ever had, yielding the best results. I am shooting all the promotional and advertising photography for the gym’s website and marketing materials. This shot is a Muscle Up on the Olympic rings. http://www.crossfitgyms.ca/
Kid Kut | Scissorhands
Created this image for Kid Kut from the Baby Blue Sound crew (goes way back) Kid’s got a following as a barber extraordinaire. He came to me for some simple promo images for his sites and shop. I couldn’t help my self and came up with this scissorhand concept using his barber tools. We shot at Circa nightclub in downtown Toronto where he MC’s on the weekends. What a wicked place that is, so many cool corners to shoot in and a very crazy looking bathroom, with a bar inside and a dental surgery chair and all. Pretty nutty, i know.
So we shot and composited this Edward Scissorhand vibe, has a pretty cold and dark tone though. Hope you like it, love to hear your thoughts actually!

We shot this image at the Gladstone Hotel on Queen Street using natural light with my Nikon D3 and a 105mm prime lens.

Promotional tour with Kardinal Offishall for Not 4 Sale album
September 2008
Promotional Image from album NOT4SALE
Kardi was recently signed to Kon Live and Interscope records in Los Angeles by hip hop star and rapper Akon. Kardi dropped a crazy number 1 single with Akon named “Dangerous”. I don’t think he will need to eat any rappers career for money now.
