Day 252: A Blacksmith

Today, we visited the Heritage Park in Calgary. In these kinds of places, I like to focus on environmental portraits. I picked the blacksmith for my photo of the day, but there were several shots I liked.

I wanted to achieve a studio look outdoors. It was shot in a park at sunset.

Day 155: Katie and Arrow

My sister-in-law and her boyfriend just adopted the cutest French Bulldog puppy. They called him Arrow. Their first dog's name is Beau, so now they have Beau and Arrow. 😊 This was not a planned shoot but thankfully I had my camera with me.

Day 132: Misha

Today, I offered to take headshots for a few interns and colleagues of mine at IBM. I was happy to be able to make it look like it was taken in a professional studio. In reality, I shot it outside our lab against a gray wall, without the assistance of any flash or reflectors. Despite the limitation of my setup while travelling, everyone seemed stoked about their photos.

Day 7: Jenny

Tonight, I came across this young lady from Quebec. "I came here for picking and then when the season was over, there were no more jobs". While asking for bus money is a panhandling cliché, she was definitely a native French speaker and her story is not uncommon among seasonal orchard pickers coming here from Quebec. I hope that she stays safe and finds her way home, wherever and whatever that is.
