Professional Photographer in Edmonton

I moved my blog, from Blogger to Wordpress, then from Wordpress to my own Trident Photography domain. I thought it might be a good idea to have the links to the various blogs on here, just in case someone is wondering why the posts stopped.

CASA Auction

I was at the CASA House charity auction this weekend, and I was astonished by the venue, which is a relatively new facility for hosting events. The Oasis Edmonton Conference Center will be high on my list of recommended locations for events in the future. The decor is beautiful, from the large Koi pond at the front entrance, to the stately conference rooms upstairs. This will undoubtably end up being one of the hot spots once word gets out. The other thing that really impressed me though was the courage of a young girl who spoke before the full house about how CASA helped her turn her life around. I mistakenly assumed that they only treated those with mental illness, the kind that was uncurable, whatever that may be. However they deal with all kinds of issues that affect us all. Depression is one of the highest causes of death in the 15-40 age group. Not to get too sidetracked, but the story this brave young lady told about the self destructive path she was on, of hard drugs and crazy living shocked me. She was only in Jr. high. Now, with the help of CASA, she is living the life of a normal teen again, getting great marks, and looking forward to highschool. She has her sense of self respect and self worth back, and that is the greatest thing that anyone can have. To those who were there, thank you for your generosity to this worthy cause. As always, Danny Hooper was a brilliant and hilarious auctioneer, a great time was had by all.

Jewelry Photography

I recently shot some pieces for a local jewelry designer for her upcoming web sales site. She will be promoting her custom jewelry via the Etsy site under the name of Red Ginger. Lighting for this type of work is considerably intricate when you think about it. I had the items on a piece of glass above a white cyclic, then I had a piece of black material for the immediate background below the item. To ensure the light wrapped the pieces effectively, I had 2 soft boxes on either side, plus a soft source underneath for seperation. Then I also pushed a hard source in from one side to model the piece slightly.

Childrens Miracle Network

I will be donating my photography services on Saturday, May 30 to support the Childrens Miracle Network. The Southside Costco will be hosting me somewhere near the front entrance, and I will be doing individual portraits from 9:30-6pm. This is the best way to get a $150 portrait session for only $20! That’s right, a mere $20 donation gets you a sitting, and an 8×10 print. All of the images from the day will be hosted on my website in the client area, so you will be able to see what images were taken, and order your print. I will also be offering additional prints online at a very reduced rates should you need more.

Edmonton Family Photographer

I went to do an in home family portrait session today way up on the north end of Edmonton. As usual, I had a great time making some wonderful images for the family, and making a new friend. I was trying to get a nice photo of an 'I'm tired of having my pictures taken' boy who is just about 2 years old. Fortunately, like everyone else in my family, he seemed to like it when I pretended to get injured. We were having a pillow fight with the cushions from the couch, and he would laugh and laugh when I would 'accidentally' drop the cushion on my own head as a cocked it back to throw at him. Somehow with all these shenanniggans, I was able to get some great expressions. I even brought the cushions into the kitchen where I set up a makeshift studio to do the family portraits to hold his attention. Thank you for the fun day, I see you have already marked 10 images as favorites in your online gallery. That is great.
