Maxim Canada’s Chief Photographer!

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 […]

Maxim Magazine Covergirl Photoshoots

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. Alexia flew from Vancouver to Toronto for the photoshoot, and with some amazing sponsored Lingerie pieces provided by Marna’s Crystal Artistry, we shot some amazing content.

NL Women’s Magazine Is Here!

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 […]

2018 Travel Dates

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 […]

What Happened At The 2018 Arnold Sports Festival?

This year’s Arnold’s Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio was the 30th anniversary for the prestigious event. As usual, amazing athletes and spectators traveled from everywhere around the globe to be at this event. I had the privilege to attend the event and shoot with some amazing athletes. As the Chief Photographer for Muscle Insider Magazine, I had access to shooting with some of the top winners from the event. The 2018 and 2017 Arnolds Sports Festival Pro Figure Champion Candice […]

Want a competitive edge for magazine submissions?

We are always trying to make things better and easier for our clients. One of the things that most clients want as a goal is to be published. Working with various magazines, I submit photos of my clients to the magazines that I work with. Sometimes a magazine will like a model’s look and ask for them to come back and shoot a workout for a feature. But what if we were to be one step ahead on this?  What […]

2014 Inside Fitness Magazine Hot & Fit

The much anticipated 2014 Inside Fitness Magazine Hot & Fit 100 issue is currently out on shelves. Throughout the year, most models that shoot with us throughout the year tell us that they want to shoot Hot & Fit submissions. For 2014, we had 96 models submissions by our team alone. There were over 1000 model submissions in total to the magazine, so you can imagine what a task it is to select the top 100. Congratulations to all those […]

Are models being taken advantage of?

At the start of every shoot, I like to ask the model what their goal of their shoot is. It is then my job to direct the shoot towards achieving my client’s goals. I would probably say that 99% of my clients tell me their goal is to be “published”.  As much as I would love to get everyone I shoot published, it is just not possible. Magazines have different marketing needs and not everyone fits the “look” or “style” […]
