Hendry's - Santa Barbara
Currently on a job in Santa Barbara. Mixing a little business with pleasure, DC and I head out early this morning and found some waves at Hendry's Beach, which just so happened to be our location for the day. Water temp 62f outside temp 45f. Great way to start the morning!

Fashion Creative
I'm currently working on a few projects, this is the result of one I shot on Saturday.
I like to shoot fashion creatives, to challenge myself and try different techniques, lighting and equipment. There is no client so you can be free to explore, experiment and just have fun!
I shot half day in my new studio and then headed out on location in St Henri, Montreal.
The concept was to play with the idea of the 'Androgynous Woman'.
a psychological connotation; a combination of both masculine and feminine traits; a kind of unified gender that defies social roles and psychological attributes
On this occasion I had the opportunity to collaborate with :
Myrtho Clemont - Stylist
Lilly Smith - Hair & Make-up
Naomi - Montage Models
Christopher Morrison - Assistant
Great working with you! Thx for the collaboration.

Deconstructing the Businessman
As a Montreal based commercial photographer, I don't get to sit in a cubical from 9-5. Good thing really! Today I took the office outside, battled the elements and Deconstructed the Businessman. Here is a quick spread from my latest shoot. Yes it was windy.......Don't worry Barry, I had 2 sand bags on the boom. Denis, thx for your effort!

Photographer Business tips 101
As photographers and artists we tend to be slightly more creatively minded than business minded.
If you can get both these attributes down, your gonna go far!
I just wanted to share an obvious, or maybe not so obvious business practice tip.
The 30% rule.
When initiating an estimate for a job state in the estimate that you need 30% down payment at time of booking. (This covers pre-production fees) 30% on the day of the shoot and the remainder due upon delivery of the media. It’s up to you to decide if your terms are Net 30 or 60 days.
Once the estimate is approved stick to the 30% rule.
If the client is hesitant and will only pay the total 30-60 days after the shoot, you probably don’t want to be doing business with them. Once you hand over the film/media you have no leverage.
As photographers we are generally small studios dealing with mega corp Inc companies. However our expenses are just as important. Why should we pay interest on expenses for a shoot , waiting for the Big client to pay us. If you use the 30% rule you keep your cash flow in check, and keep your assistants happy.
On a side note, don’t be shy about late payment fees. If you pay your Visa bill late do they waiver the late fees?
