Recent Shoots

The real estate market is hopping at the moment (March 2020) a shot I took of a house on St Margarets Bay, during a snow squall.	Not the greatest time to do commercial photographs but when your client needs a shot now they need a shot now.	Mexican navies tall ship Cuauhtémoc in Halifax Harbour - which year? Well that escapes me.	It is usually one of the smallest rooms in the house but its functionality is unquestioned. Photographing smalls spaces with mirrors and shiny surface is always great fun if you can get it right.

MLS shoot of a "pickers" house. I am not sure whether the furniture overshadowed or complimented the house to such a degree that it was difficult to imagine the space without the furniture. Having said that the little finds like this one at the base of a steep set of stairs were fantastic.	Evening frontal shot of a new house in the Parks of West Bedford. Client: Amara Dev.	You never know what is going to happen at a family shoot where there has been no previous contact - a few minutes into the shoot the dog whose name translates to "Bear" decided he wanted in on the action, I thought he was pretty photogenic if slightly self centered.	Evening shoot of a Passive design house
