Slick Summerhill Residence

[dropcap]Not[/dropcap] all the photography I share on my site is going to be shot by me :)  I want to show off work that I adore and architecture that I would adore to be able to shoot.  There is so much amazing architecture happening constantly and I desire to shoot more and more often.  I’m trying to find my style with my architectural photography so I’m loving to explore what’s going on out there.

Shooting And More Shooting to Fill the Well

I’ve never processed more images in a month than this October. All the while trying to keep up with WooThemes.  I love the combination of the ways to use my mind but it really is taxing. That said, I got out and enjoyed some early morning sun yesterday.  The fresh air was great and I couldn’t stop shooting.  I was in awe of the architecture that I was photographing for Cornerstone Architecture and I really only needed a few shots at this point.

I couldn’t help myself; it was as if something else had taken over and kept guiding me to new angles.  I was so submersed and I am beyond confident that I got awesome results.  A blog topic rose to top of my mind as I was out there moving around the buildings.  It’s heavily photography related and the post will be over on nuwomb.com eventually.

The point of mentioning all of this is because I feel it’s important to fill the well (as Julie Cameron says in The Artist’s Way).  Essentially it gave me time to be with myself and my art.  It was a date.  I got way more photos than I needed but it felt great and I was exploring things in ways that will help me in many future shoots.

I was dead tired when I got home but a good tired!

 

Enjoy a Beautiful Kitchen

[dropcap]I’m[/dropcap] seriously in heaven doing all the things I love right now but I’m also a little worn down because there is so much of it.  All the while I’m working, I’m learning so many new things.  I needed to take a one second break.   Insane that putting up a quick blog post is considered a break :)

This is one of the photographs from an architectural shoot of a London Ontario residence.  This place blew me away and put a few things in perspective for me.  The residence was designed by Cornerstone Architecture Inc and is 150% unique in the neighbourhood.  Most people will buy a home in the suburbs that is part of a builders product line though.  How do you make that something unique and cool? Well, as I’ve come to expect that there are no coincidences, Sarah of Design Inc is starting up a new season and she’s going to rock out a suburb home. It starts on Tuesday I think.

I told Marika that it feels weird to be excited for that show but I am. I like seeing what they create.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this beautiful red kitchen! It’s a sneak peak of a sneak peak for this shoot.  Could you do a red kitchen like this?

More from the shoot will be up on http://flatwhitephotography.com at some point.

Back to the hustle!

 

Toronto, See You Soon

The wedding shot last Saturday in Toronto was pretty darn awesome.  There were some traffic issues and it resulted in some lost shots, but overall it was a huge success.  I’m once again reminded that I need to see Toronto again soon before the winter comes.

I love how that looking up in Toronto produces so many interesting sights :)

Adding Flare

For architectural photography, I’m looking to create my own ritual. I’ve noticed some things that help me prepare and lead into the greater final images. Here is one example. I’m not going to get too much into it because this is something that I’ll probably end up sharing elsewhere.

Point is that I’m finding Instagram to be invaluable to myself as a creative.
