Over a year ago, my wife Nichelle Laus and I were approached by two of our friends with an idea. There was a real void when it came to Women’s Magazines, either they were folding because of the high costs of print, or in our opinion, looked like a men’s magazine converted over to a women’s version. Nothing really raw and direct for women to read and enjoy. The idea intrigued us. Being an ex-police officer, married and doing so […]
Jana Webb, is the founder of Joga House, which teaches an exercise style which bridges the gap between traditional yoga and the biometrics of sports. She was selected to be featured on the cover of Optimyz Magazine, and was booked in for a photoshoot with us. When I sent her the details of the shoot, I was surprised to be sent a non-disclosure agreement by a production company, requesting to film Jana at the shoot for footage for an upcoming […]

MAXIM has been my favorite magazine since my teenage years! I’ve always loved the information inside, the beautiful photography and the branding. I never would have guessed that I would one day be attached to the brand. When I first started professional photography, my biggest goal was to get my photos published in MAXIM Magazine. That dream came true in 2018. Since then, I have proudly shot exclusive shoots for MAXIM Magazine on multiple occasions. MAXIM has branched out internationally […]
We recently had the opportunity to shoot the winner of the Maxim Covergirl Contest Alexia Quinn for her upcoming Maxim Magazine feature. Alexia won the prestigious Maxim Covergirl Contest, which included a $10,000.00 prize and a photoshoot with our team that will be featured in Maxim.

I lead an extremely busy life. Between having four young boys, a beautiful wife, a 6000 sq/ft gym, and a photography studio, my days are usually jam packed. I love being a busy person, it has a part of me since I was a young kid. I have worked since I was 11 years old, doing every job you could imagine. No matter what I did, I put my full effort in it, and succeeded because of it. Recently […]
HOW TO NAVIGATE COPYRIGHT LAWS IN CANADA Let’s start at the very beginning: You book a fitness photoshoot with a professional photographer. You diet, and train hard for 8 weeks. You see the pictures (which turned out phenomenally), and obsess over them. You use them on your social media pages, and blow up on Instagram, becoming an Instafame sensation overnight. A famous supplement company takes notice, sponsors you, and then starts using those kick ass photos on their social media […]
Sometimes the universe works in mysterious ways, and I do believe in the six degrees of separation. In December 2016, I had the pleasure of capturing an iconic moment for seven time, WWE Women’s Champion, Trish Stratus. Already a mother to a beautiful son, Maximus, Trish was almost full term pregnant with her second child. I was excited that Muscle Memory Magazine had decided to shoot her at this stage in her pregnancy. The last time I had seen Trish, […]
If you can’t make it out to our studio in Toronto, no worries, I have plans to travel a bit and shoot some beautiful people. The location shoots I’ve posted are locations that I am planning to attend and shoot at, however if there is a location not on the list, and there is enough interest, I’d be happy to come! I am also in the works of planning a shoot in Palm Springs around June 2018, which boasts some […]
