The 20 Minute Engagement Session | Tanya + Luc

So they booked last minute.  I am talking coming to meet me on Thursday and booking with me on Sunday and then doing a quick engagement session on Sunday as well!!!  Their wedding is January 9, 2010.  My first couple of 2010 and I have to admit I couldn't ask for a better way to start the new year.

Tanya + Luc are naturals in front of the camera when they are with each other, whether they want to admit it or not.

I'm so happy to be your photographer and I can't wait for the wedding, it's going to be a BLAST!!!

We will talk soon,

Julian

Fine Art Photography | Toronto

So the season is beginning to slow down and I find myself "lost".

 I realize just how much I love having a camera in my hands, I love having the ability to be in control of a situation. I love being able to compose beauty and frame what I define as art.  I love being able to just go with the flow and snap away wildly, but as the season slows down I have fewer chances to do this...Now I seek inspiration, because I realize I can't remain stagnant.  I need to go with the flow and find that which inspires me. . ."Every second is a door to eternity. The door is opened by perception. Inspiration is that state in which mind and heart are connected."The world to me is full of unexpected beauty, it can be seen in the rarest of places and all you have to do is OPEN YOUR EYES to see it.  Art is in the composition!   To me, this means you have to always be aware and open minded. See things from an open perspective and in a different light. If you can connect that which your mind recognizes to your heart, inspiration will arise.  So I invite you to open your minds and your hearts and search for the connection, you may be surprised at what you will find.

Photography to me is much more than attempting to create beauty, which can be extremely difficult.  It is about finding beauty, bringing out true emotions and feelings from your subjects  Shooting from the heart is what I try to do, I photograph that which I feel and find beautiful, while spreading my passion to the hearts of my subjects so that they can feel what I feel.  "My aim is not to capture any particular movement, but to express a sincere human feeling." - Vincent Van Gogh.  If I can achieve this through my subjects or through my viewers than I have succeeded.

Here are a few fine art photos that I took with my iphone...Like I said, beauty can be found all around us so thank God for technology for allowing me to be able to photograph my world.

Happy Wednesday!!!

Toronto Engagement Photography | Priscilla + Chris

As promised I am finishing this post...I also added more photos :) I simply couldn't resist.

Priscilla & Chris...Very interesting couple. Priscilla almost backed out of the shoot last minute due to uncertain weather conditions...but we sucked it up and got it done...Aren't you guys glad you did it, I know I am.

Priscilla is a cute and loveable little worry bug, always wanting to make sure everything is perfect and Chris is just the cool, calm, collective dude who loves his little worry bug and calms her down. Chris is the man, when Priscilla was heading to the states for trip with the girls Chris came to meet up with me at starbucks where we sat and talked for a good hour while I watched hip sip on his strawberry vivano smoothie and discussed the film "One Week" amongst other things. It was awesome.

This location was super awesome for black and whites, especially considering it was a very grey day, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE black and white photography :) It makes me happy.

You guys make for such an adorable couple...a perfect match for each other and I can't wait to document your special day...Just remember what you learned at the shoot... Relax and have fun. :)

enjoy
