BEACHES, BLUE SKIES, and THE BATTLE AT PEARL HARBOUR

ONE
Ey everybody, March 26th, 2011. Circle that date on your calendar. The time? 8:30PM. The magic number is one…for one hour. Turn off the lights and bask in the glory of natural light. WWF pushes this event every year and it’s amazing the participation this hour gets. Even the big guns in Downtown, Toronto take [...]
ATTITUDE AND DISCIPLINE COME BEFORE TECHNIQUE!
That’s what could be seen in big letters on the wall of Master Foroughi’s dojo. Just from the way he walked into the room, you could see the amount of respect his students have for him. We decided to take a few photos to get familiar with the martial art of taekwando and so that [...]
SPRING IS HERE…NEAR ^^
Ahhh, do you hear that? Are those birds? No no, that’s the sound of spring around the corner..well..about 2 months away but still. It’s around the corner for us. Time seems to be flying by. Anyways…winter shoots! What better way to keep in the winter spirit. As cold as it is, the warmth felt from [...]
O….Y?
Another update, another week. I’ve been lagging and it’s all due to being under the weather. No worries, nothing a little (or a lot) of Nyquil can’t handle, and Dayquil. Ahh, gotta love the people who invented these wonderful remedies…and if I could give an epic high five to whoever made chicken soup… I would [...]
EIKONIC GRAND OPENING
Overdue!! Holeeeee cow. So the beauty of the internet is that I get to access all my files on my home computer from somewhere else and work from a coffee shop that could be halfway across the world. Amazinggggg! Plus the ipad has all the apps I need to be able to update my section [...]
WORK HARD…PARTY HARDER
Hey everyone, it’s been a long time coming for another update. Off season has been pretty busy for us here at Red Lotus regardless. We thought that we could concentrate on our personal projects for the time being. But oh were we wrong. Countless flights to New york for myself, and film projects on the [...]
MEETING CLAIRE
Welcome back everyone, another update, and another one of my favorite types of photoshoots. Babies! So we’re kind of developing a certain title for these shoots and we’ve come to the conclusion to use it from now on. The term, “meeting” in our case is defined as “to become personally acquainted.” And when you meet [...]
COLD MUCH?
So you’re walking down the the lakefront pathway in your warm zipped up sweater. You’re thinking to yourself, I’m glad I wore something warm. The air seems to be getting colder while the nights just keep on arriving a little earlier. You look at your watch and see that it’s been 30 minutes since you [...]
BIANCA + CHRIS JMS
Biance and Chris (sigh).. If i were to describe them from the short amount of time we spent together on this session, I would have to say they are cutely devoted and without a shadow of a doubt in la la la la la love! Another question… what is a JMS? simple answer…a just married [...]
HE LEADS BY EXAMPLE
‘Ello everybody! I am back, with yet another engagement session and a small teaser from said couples wedding. (sigh) Kristoffer and Joan.

SINGER, SONGWRITER, ACTRESS, MODEL…CARO.
Caroline Fernandez. A sweet, easy going, fun, artistic individual. Walk around downtown and take random photos? No problem. Walk up a random fire escape onto a rooftop? Piece of cake. We walked, we shot, we posed, we conquered. Couldn’t have asked for anything more when it comes to capturing an individual through my viewfinder. Please [...]

BUG BITES. DROPPED LENSES. SMILES PREVAILING THOUGH. THATS ALL WE NEED
We met Brendan + Serlina through one of our good friends, Ryan Lau, who is also a wedding photographer. He was kind enough to send this amazingly fun couple our way. We’ve been pretty adamant on ourselves to make every session an experience and we’ve come to the conclusion that all our shoots will indefinitely [...]
YEEEAAAAHHHHH!
There’s no way to explain model shoots, just like the comic below. lol. You just have to accept it. As you can see below, I tried a few new things to add to my style. Learned lots, had fun, and got to hang out with two really good friends of mine. Calvin’s set will be [...]
