Megan Fox & Latinas!

Just recently I was called upon to shoot some work for the 2011 Toronto Latina / International Swimsuit Calendar.

Went down with Maurizio the super cool I-talian! He helped hold all my equipment and set it up, phew! Without him I would have probably taken twice as long to take my pics!



So then we found a cool cup-holding... errr, beer-holding rock!



Afterwards we took a few behind the sceners of people and their silly faces!



Then, ran into Megan Fox:



and finally, we got interviewed by What'sGoodToronto.com

Cool video, worth a check-out!

Hey everyone, it's Daniel!

So a few months ago I was filming an Edward Maya (think Stereo Love) event and shooting behind the scenes for the gig, when I was approached by, at the time, a totally random stranger!

Little did I know that stranger would turn out to be a totally cool guy and now good friend, Mr. Chris Ramos. You may have heard his song Celebration aired on Z1035 and also on the Z103 Hitmix CD!

Anyways, so he kept asking me if I got any footage of him at the club, to which I stated I might have. Took a scan through the raw clips and got one 5 second clip with awful quality.

He wanted to make a little promo video so he told me to send it over and he'd see what he could do with it, to which I responded: "Chris, I won't have that. I would rather take a day out of my schedule and get you some proper footage than to have crappy footage laying around."

So at sunset one day, we head up to a rooftop in my area (tallest building for miles and miles),



and shot 2 minutes worth of footage in hopes that it would look like sunrise (pfft... who really keeps track of where the sun rises and sets?).





Then, 5 hours worth of editing with only 2 minutes of footage, we ended up with this!

CLICK ME!!!

The takeaway here? Always be willing to help out your fellow man or, wo-man! Sometimes that could spark great friendships and add a beautiful piece to your portfolio.

My new office; the beach!

This Friday the 13th was my lucky day, well... not really but it was still a great day!

I went to the beach with Chrissy Venus (the ever-talented model/girlfriend) and Maurizio F. (the ever-talented photographer)!



We hit up the beach nice and early... at least on my clock: 1pm.
1-5 we drink beers, relax, and play with our lenses, and... take pictures of super awesome sandcastles built by grownups?



and what fun would it be if we didn't snap a few Paparazzo shots as well?



Come 5pm, as me and Chrissy head towards a restaurant for her to do her makeup and for me to grab some much-needed ice cream we meet a few dudes with a boat and they ask us if we'd like to pose Chrissy on the boat!



We tell them that once we're back, we'll try to incorporate that into our shoot, but once we return they are nowhere to be found!

Then this guy shows up and we ask him to shoot on his jet-ski!



He says yes.



We shoot a few more shots on the beach before relocating.





Sunset hits, and we head towards the rocks.



Maurizio tries to out-sex Chrissy, and almost succeeds!



...and finally, here is what was the shot of shots that day... err night!



After we finally finished shooting, we hit up the 5 drive in, got some cheeseburgers without toppings (Chrissy's cheesburger didn't even have cheese on it! WTF!), and watched The Expendables.

My Portfolio!

So, for my first blog entry (this is kind of weird, I've never done this before!),
I will link everyone to my website, which doubles as my portfolio!

In a week, I'll see everyone at Paul Buceta's Pool Party! Woohoo!!
