Tony's Birthday Party

Last Saturday I was at Anthony Ferrari's Birthday Party.  That's right.  I do take pictures other than of models, people getting drunk, or nightclubs.  Sometimes.

See the full set at my flickr collection.

This was a very friendly crowd.  I do a lot of party photography, but the dynamic changes in a house party.  Keep this in mind as a party photographer.  In a party, it's a bunch of people getting together to have a good time.  After you (the photographer) gets there, they go from just a bunch of people hanging out... to celebrities.  Really, if you've been at a party with a photographer, you know what I mean.  Attitudes change, and people seem to have more fun.


Most people enjoy having their picture taken.  Here, I ask people if they want their picture taken.  In a club, I don't need to go around asking, people will come up to me and ask for me to take pictures.  If they have a drink in their hand, I ask if they want it in the frame.  I like to remind people if they actually want to be seen with alcohol or not.  It does make a difference to people, and I do this at a night club too.  Sometimes.



Anyways, at a party, go around and chat with some people.  Getting to know them a little bit will let you take better photos of them: they feel more comfortable around you and relax when you snap that shutter button.

Black and White Editon: Film Stills from the Helm

These are stills from a short film that took place inside The Helm of Vancouver restaurant/lounge.  House of Leo Productions brought me in for this film, which will be available online soon.

Doolin's Irish Pub End of Exam Party 2010 Winter

Poor Charlotte got cut again.

I was out taking a walk with my camera last Friday and I somehow ended up at Doolin's Irish Pub for an end-of-exams party.

As usual, nerd stuff hidden under girls.

Girls Wanna Have Fun at Tunnel

I went out to the Tunnel Nightclub for some photography on Saturday to meet my friend DJ Mikxter from Independent Vancouver who happened to be DJ'ing that night.  It also just happened to be a ladies night, who knew.

Depends on how I feel like, I may also upload the video.  Sometime.  Maybe this week.  Ha!

Vancouver Fashion Week

I had a great time working with BlackOut Productions at the Vancouver Fashion Week.  They commissioned me as a videographer to catch the runway shows on the weekend, so I didn't get to take any photos.  Work comes first.  Work work work.  I did take some photos of the practice runway walks though.  I'll put those up soon!

The Last Placeholder

While I'm working on my web page, I'll be using Blogger to update my works.

Strangely enough, I spend more time working on other web pages than mine.  Probably because no one will pay me to finish my own web page.  Ha!

Here are some pictures from a couple recent Photo shoots.
