This week's Highlight Photo of the Week is one from a recent model shoot. Jaq contacted me on Facebook, where I had mentioned I was looking for models, and after some discussion we agreed to do a shoot on a day that held some promise. A few weeks later, with sunny days predicted, I got her a message, arranged a day and time when I would be off work, and we arranged to meet at The Forks, a local national park and marketplace in the city. While some delays happened, we still got in about an hour and a half of shooting, and ended up with about 700 photos across many different areas at the Forks.

Jaq brought a number of outfit combinations, and I am pretty sure we used every single one of them, some parts more than once in combination with other parts. I am not sure if this is a common practice in modeling, but it was definitely helpful in adding to the range of looks to the shoot. I recently posted about 30 of the estimated 50 shots that will be posted once I get them fully post processed. To decide this week's Highlight from the 30, I went to twitter, the Microblogging service, and asked those who follow me for their advice on which one I should pick.

I got over 20 replies, and ended up with three finalists, which were also put up for a vote. The photo below was the one chosen. The rest of the photos, as well as the last 20 I need to upload, are at the Jaq Shoot 1 gallery.


Seriously Seductive

One step closer to a Monday release, this weeks highlighted photo is one I took last summer, late summer or early fall, at the Assiniboine Zoo in Winnipeg here. The beast is an Amur Leopard, which as you can see from my gallery I took a lot of pictures of. This massive cat was very active and photogenic in both of my visits to the zoo, unlike his Snow Leopard cousin who just paced in one of my visits, and the Siberian Tigers who were usually sleeping even in the cooler fall weather. I intend to go back this summer more, and get a wider variety of shots of this and many more animals, though I will miss the lovable Polar Bear Debbie, who passed this winter.



Come back next week for more highlights from my gallery.
