Carnival Themed Stylized Fashion Shoot at KDays Edmonton
Carnival Themed Stylized Fashion Shoot at KDays Edmonton I have been looking forward to shooting at the Calgary Stampede since last yearsince the photo I took of my friends at the faris wheel became viral on Facebook. Unfortunately I couldn't make it to Calgary in time. So I returned to KDays for this legit photography session fully prepared! I met up with the lovely Kailyn for this session and plan on doing a full coverage of KDays on different rides. We spent a lot of time exchanging ideas and ended...
Prom Dress Photo Session CCIS Ualberta
A photo shoot I did for this beautiful grad dress along with the designer & maker. The idea stemmed because I wanted to look for a big puffy dress or graduation dress to shoot with. Jo has been looking for a shoot and capturing how she looked before she chops a huge length of hair for a charity called Hair Massacure. Knowing Jo is a designer and has made a dress she never got to wear to her high school prom, this photo shoot was definitely inevitable! Quite happy...
The Great Mughal Gala Pakistani Students’ Association University of Alberta
The Great Mughal Gala presented by Pakistani Students' Association University of Alberta. It was a great night full of talented cultural performances from Edmonton and awesome food! Seriously haven't been updating for a while with everything going on, so I thought i'd send out a quick update on something from last night! I guess my work has been getting more and more complicated, and more and more demanding...
Studio Fashion Headshot Portrait Photography
In the studio for some head shots and fashion oriented photography! I had a chance to set up a backdrop and get into some indoor studio action!We've had sooo much fun! There is much to learn in the studio. When your subject is confined in an area there is no stories to convey, suggest, nor can they give "life" to your story. They act differently and rarely natural. So the photographer needs to do most of the leading in her emotions, what poses and facial expressions they give you. [caption...
University Dance Club Starlight Ball
Had a chance to photograph the annual Starlight Ball presented by Edmonton's UADC (University of Alberta Dance Club). This club is probably Edmonton's next best secret to learn ball room dancing in. It offers an extensive range of classes and activities. Regardless of your dancing ability. The instructors are volunteer based but all trained by competitive dancers in the scene. These guys worked very hard to get this night going, and i'm definitely bringing my game up a notch when it comes to these events! I got to meet some super cool...
New milestone and YouTube Chanel for mpStudio
whoa! 200+ likes on my facebook page! To celebrate, I decided to make a speed edit video of my favorite light painting photography on Photoshop. This couple of weeks have been crazy! First a road trip down Calgary and living in a hostel, then meeting Renee Robyn from Renee Robyn Photography, and getting a chance to eat dinner beside her and talk to her for hours about photography and life! Not only that my mpStudio Photography YouTube channel was finally born a few days ago! There are so much I'd...
Fall Portrait Session at St-Albert Ravine
Another Fall photo shoot and this time at the beautiful ravine of St-Albert just 20 minutes outside of Edmonton. The leaves are fresh and the weather is great, got myself a very hard to handle 85mm lens from Vistek rental, and Dani and I are ready for some photo fun! St-Albert is a small town known for their huge green house store called Hole's but very little people know that St-Albert is fall of beautiful ravines and parks! I was lucky to know a friend who I play music...

Got an assignment from a Sherwood Park based Tanning Studio to shoot a before and after spray tanning photo shoot for model! Ashley the model actually contacted me herself after seeing some of my work, and i'm totally glad to take on the challenge! Baja Bronze Custom Spray Tan is a very homie studio owned by an extremely nice lady Dani who is also a loving mother. She gave my assistant and I great hospitality during her stay at the studio during our shoot, and in such a short time we...
Sugar Skull Makeup Photo Session
Halloween is coming! Had an on-location Sugar Skull Makeup photography session last Sunday with the talented model Clarissa as a belly dancer! Clarissa is a young lady who is striving to achieve her dream as a make up artist / hair stylist and gaining experience modelling on the side. I don't usually work with models so when we were acquainted, I presented her with an idea of my own and a location for the shoot like I do with everyone else. Clarissa not only had her own ideas but...
Light Painting Photography in Edmonton
A light painting photography day (night to be exact) like no others! If you've followed the last post I messaged the good people down at University of Alberta Photography Club for a shoot focusing on light painting photography, and managed to grab whole bunch of people along with a few of my friends to this shoot! The whether was definitely not as cold as the last day, and it was around 10pm when we started, and we played around and chatted till really late before we really got...

F & C’s Wedding Photo Booth and Reception
I was asked to help out for a photo booth at F & C's wedding, and I got to sneak in a few photos during the reception partyas well! It was truly an amazing night at F & C's wedding!I think it was obvious how much fun was there at the wedding, it was virtually effortless to get people to smile for me in front of the camera or pose for a "let's go crazy" and "hurray" shot, because people were simply doing that, and they were proud...

Banff Johnston Canyon Creek Trail and Two Jack Lake
The whole camping trip was actually spent without much planning. After having brunch we knew we had to at least get fishing licenses for those who wanted to fish. A group of us went off to two jack lake to look for fishing spots while the other group went to Banff to get the license. Once everyone settled down, a bunch of us decided to check out other places since we weren't planning to fish. I visited Johnston Canyon last year and had some great memories there in the midst of the great Alberta flood. The view...
Banff Tunnel Mountain
Traveling down from Edmonton to Banff in a group of 8 in hope to get away and do some hiking, fishing, and great camping experience. We booked our camp site with the Alberta camping reservation system online. At first we wanted to be close to two jack lake, but all their sites were already booked, so we went with the neighbouring camp site at Tunnel Mountain Village II. They have very well facilitated washrooms and sink area for us to wash things and take showers, which was good...
