but inside, you’re just a little baby.

just letting you know that i’ve posted a new look on my lookbook, you can check it out by clicking here. it was also posted on deviantart here. it’s honestly not my favorite picture, it was taken on the spot, hence the awkward posing. i was just fixing the hood. but my friend convinced me to post it, so here it is! i do like the windbreaker though, honestly…. $10 off the sales rack? pretty good find if you ask me!

the photoshoot for that ad campaign went really well on saturday. it was definitely different to work with a team of people, as i am used to do everything myself from A to Z. so, listening to people with different opinions, and people arguing and all, i’m not used to it. i usually simply do as i want, and do what i feel is best. but that’s how you’ve got to work when you’re a team, you need to listen to everyone’s ideas, even if you don’t agree. and then you have to try to make something out of it. something that will make you happy, as much as them. it was also fun to work around the handbag, i’ve never really shot something for a specific item. it’s all about showing off the bag as much as possible, while keeping it subtle. definitely not easy! i’m not allowed to show any of the pictures for a while, legal matters, but as soon as i have the OK from the company, i’ll be showing you some!

you’re hearing damage, your mind is restless.

i’ve posted a new look on my lookbook, you can check it out by clicking here. it was also posted here, on my deviantart. by the way, you have no idea how awkward that pose was to do in the middle of a street. not to mention the picture was taken right in front of some ghetto garage, and all the workers were on their lunch break, just eating by the sidewalk. i was so embarrassed. i was laughing in half the shots. or just making weird faces. but fortunately one of them turned out decent! the door was just too cool in my opinion, something had to be done with it.

i’ve got a really exciting project coming up. one of my friends knows someone who knows someone who knows someone. you know how those things usually happen. anyway, turns out he suggested me to be the photographer for this new montreal based fashion brand. their first campaign will be for this one clutch/hobo style leather handbag, and i’m the one who’s gonna shoot it!

i had a meeting last night, and we’re planning on doing it on a rooftop in old montreal. we came up with this one concept. we want montreal to be part of the campaign as much as possible, and what’s better than a rooftop to do so. as for the styling, we’re thinking a huge flowy dress, or something of that sort. probably a colorful one. and another thing i’m particularly happy with; the bag is entirely manufactured here! we’re doing the photoshoot on saturday. it might take a while before i’m allowed to show you the final pictures, but i’ll do it as soon as possible! and i’ll let you know how the shoot went too.

smoke weed, get fired.

this morning at work, this one guy i work with told me they fired him. well, his last day is going to be this saturday. i can’t say i didn’t see it coming. i wasn’t really surprised when he told me to be honest. i still feel bad though, just like any human being, i do have compassion, and he was a work friend. someone making work a little bit more entertaining. there was a problem though, he was a “pothead”. he would smoke before coming to work too. which was the worst part. people are allowed to smoke, yes. it’s a life choice, just like any other thing. but when it is done without respect, then it affects other people too. and what’s worse than behaving immaturely in front of your own employer? he wasn’t very responsible either, he’d just leave for half hours once in a while, and he’d come back. no one would know where he’d gone. he’d take an hour of break, when he was allowed thirty. he’d take an hour and a half, when he was allowed an hour. and thirty minutes when he was given fifteen. or he’d say hi to you five times a day, and each time ask how you’re doing, and “what’s up” and then say “okay well. bye. take care. okay. take care man. see ya”. never heard of a sober person acting like that. so he made it obvious after a while. especially when he’d just fall asleep in the middle of the work room. and other employees would have to go and tell him to wake the F up. or when he’d say out loud how he’s “way too high for work, and shouldn’t have smoked”.

so why am i telling you all about this? well, about three hours after he told me he got fired, my manager came up to me, and let me know that my hours would be going way up next week. one man’s loss is another man’s gain. it’s how life works. and i can’t tell you how happy i am about my hours going up. i only had 22 hours a week or so, which is pretty awful when you’re not going to school at the same time. (i took a year off after graduating dawson, and i’ll be going to university in toronto in the fall) so yeah, the main reason i got the job is to save more money for school. university isn’t cheap, nor are apartments in toronto. but i’m excited. adventures are what make life more fun, and it definitely will be one!

i’ve posted a new picture on my deviantart. you can check it out by clicking here. it’s another one from the photoshoot i did with Sandrine. it’s personally my favorite picture i’ve taken in a very long while. i will be posting the pictures from my photoshoot with my friend Alex very soon too. i styled him with a crazy orange blazer, and he brought his red/orange vintage bike to the shoot so we used it! we didn’t get to do much, because of the sudden snowfall, but i think i still managed to get a few decent pictures! i’ll keep posting on deviantart, almost everyday, for the next few weeks. i’ve managed to do it for about a week by now. so it shouldn’t be too hard to just keep it up! so you can always check back once in a while, and let me know what you think of my work! i always try to improve, so comments are well appreciated.
