Mastrixx Mixxes – Art in Fashion

The location for this shoot has to be one of my favorites, and quite possibly the reason why this series turned out to be so stylistic. Well, okay, maybe Lexxy, (Alexandra Rodionova), did have something to do with why the shots look so incredible.
This is one of our famous spontaneous shoots where we just got out from in front of the computer with the goal to create art.
Every once in a while when the shots turn out to have such potential I tend to take my time working on them. Like a fine wine each sip must be savored for all it’s worth. This is why it took me a year and a half to work on the entire set. And the great thing about this shoot is that a hand full of these ended up being full page advertisements for various products!
Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed working on them!

Best of Ottawa Readers Poll 2007

// October 26th, 2007 // View Comments // News, music

The Ottawa Xpress has finally acknowledged the existence of a much ignored musician here in Canada’s capital, by including Lindsay Ferguson in their “Best of 2007 Ottawa” Survey!!
There are a couple of Categories that I think Lindsay’s new Album ‘Sound‘ should have been included in & they are as follows: Best Rock/Pop/Dance/Other Album & Best New Musical Artist or Group. I know she’s not “new” but she sort of is, now that Lindsay has her new album ‘Sound‘ out people are starting to create a buzz!!
Also there is a “Best Live Show in 2007″ category & seeing as Lindsay had a record-breaking attendance for her Cd Release Party, I thought it too could be classified as a “Best of”…
The one that Lindsay is up for is “Best Folk/Country Album” so be sure to check her name on that one.
Another close friend of mine, Rob Mclennan is also up for a ‘Best of…” for his writing in the fiction/non-fiction/poetry work.
All of the categories have an “other” box, where I suggest you fill in whenever necessary.
SO! lets get Lindsay Ferguson on the map in the “BEST OF 2007″ for the Ottawa Xpress!
And yes, many thanks in advance for taking the time to fill the survey out.
Please continue…

Lindsay’s new Album “Sound” is available on iTunes.
Rob’s writings can found on Chaudere Books.

Tania Zygar – A study

// September 25th, 2007 // View Comments // News

This series of pictures was shot during the Summer of 2006. During that Summer I was going a little nuts with the amount of shoots I was doing. I think I did 18 shoots that Summer.
I’d never shot at Mooney’s Bay before. I’d always wanted to but just never found the right person to work with. I’d also been looking forward to shooting with Tania for what seemed like years! So now with the perfect location and the perfect model I was set!
I’m always blessed with the best weather when I shoot. I can’t even shoot in the rain if I planned it! This day with Tania is no different. And of course having a great looking woman helps!
