Hi there

Thanks for visiting my profile. My team are currently shooting 18-24 projects a month. Each project may require a 2nd or 3rd date of shooting to get in and outta the studio and on location for the best backdrop experience. Some of our indoor shoots take place with the green screen affect with blue or white tarps as the back drops.

At present we're working for a European Gossip Magazine, some fashion designers in steam punk, couture, leading cosmetic stores, and a handful of corporate brands for the entertainment industry for promotional events related to new brands & related event shoots. For all those models who are helping us create our book for 2013 the focus is to better help each other in the art, get some coverage for the Euro magazine, my clothing line, and a mix between some national brands and some American Brands. If you have some acting experience its a HUGE plus!

I came from Toronto, pronounced as Torono. Done some shooting in Paris, some random glamour/maxim style work in the late 80's early 90s in various areas of North America. In Vancouver since 2004 and loving the incredible variety for outdoor shoots. I've worked with approx 1800+ models way back since 1988 when there was huge budgets with the old SLR's with Canon. Since 2003 its all been digital. Have only worked with around 800 ladies since DSLR. Doing around 100 shoots a year.

I don't need a retoucher at this time. Don't ask.


To view more of what we do, just email me here. We have tutorials on choreography and self employment for female fashion models, actors, actresses and photographers. Send me an email here if you're interested. Courses start at a mere two hundred and fifty dollars for each class that typically take 7-8 hours mixed between in studio and on a live set. Or a web conference critiques available at $80 per session maximum 2 hours.


I just wanna thank the many talented models and photographers on here that I've networked with and added to my lists. Truly an amazing connection to the art or photography and modelling. Let's continue to work together to better help each other in our art.


If you've noticed that you've been added to the list "Femme de la Femme" and or in the lists of "Top 140 ...", there's a good chance we'll be in contact for some future work for my clothing line, and or my magazine, and or an ad campaign which all three projects include a tear sheet. If you're Canadian and you're looking to work in the USA or get unionized, my tear sheet projects count for 1:1 credit and sometimes 3:1 credits .
