Self-portraits

Concept shoots where I'm the photographer and the subject.

Most of my paid photography is portraits and headshots of other people, booked through photo.teamdct.ca. These shoots are where I try ideas first: a hat I designed, a mask of petals, a hazmat suit for Halloween.

What it is: Concept shoots where I'm the photographer and the subject.
My part: Concept, styling, lighting, shooting, editing
Built with: Canon EOS RP and Rebel T6, 50mm lens, Lightroom
Status: Ongoing
Year: 2022 to 2026

Self-portrait in a tall white fur hat and white wraparound sunglasses, holding a printed sign that reads "Guilty of Love, 12.30.24". — Marked decisions on this frame: 1.

Mark 1: I designed the hat and had it made

For Guilty of Love I designed the hat, had it manufactured, and built the set around it: the sign, the date, white on white.

Four glossy red face masks lying on a sheet of plastic in a pool of light. — Marked decisions on this frame: 2.

Mark 2: One shoot, a later film

The red masks from this Halloween shoot became the starting point for Red Mask, a film I am directing that is now in previs. It is shown privately on request.
