Pine Point Park Apple Blossoms Model Portfolio: Asha, Naima

Right after my 'crowded' experience with cherry blossoms in High Park, Toronto, I decided to take advantage of some of the gorgeous blossoming apple trees in my beloved Pine Point Park, Toronto. I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to work with two beautiful models, Asha Carty and Naima Sheikh, and an amazing makeup artist - Alina Faye. I wanted this session to result in very feminine, subtle and slightly soft images, but could not help it but add a little bit of a kick to it with my longtime companion - Westcott Rapid Box 26'' with Canon 600EX-RT in it. The set up really helped me fight some of the tricky patchy shadows and highlights on the models' faces. Additionally, I got to try out an in-camera multiple exposure: really fun 'tool' to work with but surely requires a lot of practice to get a decent result :).

Hope you enjoy the blooms! 

Love,

-Eva.

Model Portfolio: Cate. Pine Point Arena, Toronto

Rainy Moody Fall Shoot with Cate Tydd as a model and Dmitry Komendant from Spellbound Hair Design & Dmitry Komendant Guerilla Hairstyling as our everything :). Many years ago I was lucky enough to get a hair appointment at the salon / spa where Dima used to work. From then on, nobody else but Dima is allowed to bring scissors anywhere close to my hair. Let me just say that he is real a pro, a master, a virtuoso of everything hair related: cut, colour, style, you name it. You can see the proof below in this Charlie Chalpin's City Lights inspired portrait session. We really wanted to show both: feminine, a little vulnerable, sophisticated side of Cate and an edgy fighter in her, as life requires this combo pretty often. 

Love,

-Eva.
