We’re looking at the last few months of our photo blog for 2011.

In September we featured a summer wedding, gave tips in our photo newsletter to improve your photography and highlighted a worthy cause that used our rental studio.

The 2011 photo blog review continues…

May

In May, David Trattles came to Ottawa to run his unique photo workshop and exhibit his fine art photography at our photo studio. The exhibit was a smash hit. The David Trattles workshops (coming again this May) have always been popular with people interested in stretching their photo limits.

June

In June we shot some Jazz Festival for a client, hosted J David Andrews’ Wildlife and Landscape Workshop (see his upcoming workshops) and wrote about better backgrounds.

Music Festival Photo Assignment

July

We shot at Bluesfest for the Sun and also exhibited a decade’s worth of music festival photography at the studio. Also ran a popular bike race safari.

August

In August we shot a stock assignment for a lawyer and a school – it’s my favourite kind of commercial work – shooting a creative portfolio of work that a client uses for promotion. At the photo studio Blair Gable exhibits his photojournalistic work including his photos of Obama, Princess Kate and $millions of Ferraris.
