~ bound I had an incredible afternoon a couple of months back when @literarywhore.bsky.social brought her friend IG:@happyleaf.rope to my studio to explore combining my lighting ideas with their passion for shibari.

~ on fire I had a most delightful morning working with Luna.Valor the other day.

~ Veiled I was exploring the effects of shooting through various fabrics with a friend. I am not sure who was having more fun with this idea as she could hardly stop dancing around and laughing throughout the entire session.

~ Kayla in the River A double exposure of Kayla and the lovely sparkles on the surface of a local river.

~ Gloria was so sweet to work with. She was gentle, quiet, relaxed and maybe a little shy. We collaborated a couple of times with great results. I think her life got very busy right after this time and we were never able to set up any further sessions.

~ twisted Fun fact: this woman's sister used this image on the EP she and her band released a while ago.

~ hand at hip From a fun shoot I did with a friend a few years back.

~ a side I am especially delighted when asking a friend if she'd be interested exploring my ideas they say yes.

~ touch Sara was wonderful to collaborate with. We created many lovely images. Sadly, she seems to have disappeared soon after this session 😢

~ shape of This wonderful model disappeared very soon after our session a couple of years back.

~ shape of With Ada's excellent help.

~ shape of Another example of a style of bodyscape I think fabric would ruin. In this image, I am especially delighted by the "mystery" of what we are looking at. If she were wearing something the mystery would not exist, we would recognize instantly what this is, delight would be lost.

~ waves A great favourite of mine taken a few years back. This has been printed and is hanging in a friend's home.

~ shape of I had an interesting conversation last night with a friend about why I prefer no fabrics in so many of my images. I don't think I made myself entirely clear with my words but I hope maybe these images I've been posting recently might speak more clearly to this point....

Oops, I meant to post this a few days ago. I got kind of sloppy with my online activity. This is Lara having quite a lot of fun in my little studio space a few weeks back.

~ shape of I'm starting to think more seriously about another exhibition. This time of some of the bodyscape work I've been creating over the years.

Classic Rebekah I don't know why this has been hiding in my catalogue all these months, it's time to be shared!

~ garden of delight I took the original portrait of Chloe way back in February then put the film in the fridge and kind of forgot about it. When I found it recently I rewound it and took it for a stroll at a local park to shoot the second exposures.

Some highkey bodyscape details I created with Kayla a while back. I don't do this high key lighting often enough.

One of my few "current" projects is this ongoing double exposures on film (expired film when I have some, as I did with this image). I am beyond delighted when these double exposures turn out so perfectly. More, lots more from this and other work on my Flickr "Film Double Exposures" album.

I am absolutely delighted when one of my double exposure images turns out so nicely as this. 35mm PanatomicX, ISO32 shot at 120, expire 1988 (I think?).

You cannot keep some people from dancing and why would you try? @muirinafae.bsky.social has it in her blood.

~ Kat in the garden. A film swap with myself. I shot Kat in the studio then rewound the film and shot in my garden using my old Rolleiflex 3.5. Film developed and scanned by the wonderful boys and girls at (IG)@downtowncameraltd

~ joy in lake Marilu and I have been up to this small lake north of the city twice in less than a month, she loves it there that much. We were there from about sunrise for nearly two hours yesterday. What a delightful way to spend a summer morning.

~ touched It's been too long since I got to create with Ada. And it's been too long since I have shared any of what we did. So here you go.

This lighting is something I kind of stumbled on by chance. I bought these lights for another purpose but then found they have this cool mode cycling through a range of colours. Thank you Zoia for playing along.

Another film swap with @mkfotich.bsky.social and his model in Zurich then my garden in Toronto. Shot with my Hasselblah (503cx) on Kodak 400TX, developed and scanned at home.

A double exposure of Alanna and then my garden. Taken on AgfaPan APX400 expired Jan/2006. Developed with FlicFilm's Black/White & Green developer. Shot with my Rolleiflex TLR. I could not believe my luck how the second exposure lined up so well with the first. I love this project! (and my models!)

~ in the garden Another film swap project. This time I was swapping with myself 😜. I had a really lovely morning with Muirina a couple of months ago. Then a couple of days ago I rewound the film and did this exposure in my garden.

~ asleep in the garden Another film swap project. This time I was swapping with myself 😜. I had a really fun afternoon with Carmen a couple of months ago. Then a couple of days ago I rewound the film and did this exposure in my garden. Sometimes the overlap of the two exposures is just perfect.

A fun little sequence I did with Marilu a while back. This is a style of bodyscape I never tire of exploring. I've done this with people as old as 60 and as young as 20 and the results are always a delight.

~ peace I'm reviewing some film based double exposure projects I did last year with various people. One of my most favourite was with Joana. She and I did a small photo session and I gave her the film to take home and expose in her camera. This is one of the images from that roll.
