#861 Ottawa Photo Exhibition – Istanbul, Turkey

Posted on October 17, 2012 by admin

On the weekend we hosted a photo exhibition – Walk the Streets of Istanbul at our photo studio, Ottawa Studio Works.

By the end of the opening the photographer had a very wide smile on her face. The show was very well attended, feedback was excellent and she made good sales.

The show covered a three year span spent living in Turkey, capturing architecture, life and sights of Istanbul and surrounding areas.

If you missed the show you have another chance – she will be at the studio this Thursday, October, 2012 from 3:30 onwards (no set closing time – come earlier than later!) based on demand!

#860 Ottawa Gatineau Family Portraits

Posted on October 14, 2012 by admin

A while back I showcased a recent wedding and talked about a candid style.

Today’s blog post features a fun family who wanted a similar experience in portraits – less structured and more true to the personalities of the family. For this kind of portrait I travel lightly and spend an hour following the family in their fun.

We played in a forested park and I captured the antics of the family. Big smiles and true personalities came through.
