The newest issue of Conglomerate Magazine launched yesterday morning to eager and excited fashion enthusiasts from across the country. I am excited because one of my photographs from the latest Alberta Fashion Week is present on page 58. It is a photo of model Ania B walking the runway for Jenna Etcheverry’s Madame Wolf SS11 collection. If you are not familiar with Conglomerate Magazine, here is a small snippet from their website:

Conglomerate is Canada’s first fashion week magazine. Published biannually, to coincide with the fall/winter and spring/summer seasons, Conglomerate strives to fill a niche previously unoccupied by other Canadian fashion publications.

Back in December I had the pleasure of working with Sandra Cross, a very talented make-up artist who is currently working with Numa, a well-known agency here in Calgary. She wanted to do something that showcased her exceptional airbrushing skills, so we ended up going with an ice queen theme.

With help from model Venessa M, stylist Maria Pinto, and my friend Faby Martin, we were able to produce some pretty awesome images. Venessa was at the hands of Sandra for almost two hours and wow, Sandra can do some pretty awesome work. I can’t wait to get together with them again.

Check out more images from this shoot and others at my Facebook fan page.

2010 ended on a good note, as I managed to get in two fun shoots with some very creative people. The overall goal for this shoot was to get something dark and sexy, with the original theme dubbed “Sexy Goth”, but it slowly merged into this dark, punk rock look, which turned out very well.

Most of the time I don’t use less than three lights, so this time I decided to play around with just two. It was nice having creative freedom to mold the shoot as I saw fit. I’ve always been someone who wants everything perfect, but I realized that I need to spend less time being technical and more time being creative.

Thanks to everyone who was a part of this one.

Location: Cat’s Eye Vintage, Calgary.

Erin is a great model and always a pleasure to work with, the make-up by Sandra is a piece of art, the styling and creative direction by Maria kept Erin looking new and exciting, and the help from Faby and David kept the shoot moving smoothly.
