Bohemian Queen - Featuring Jeans ‘n Classics
A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing a wonderful event put on by the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra. Michael Shotton and the Jeans ’n Classics band teamed up with the TBSO to rock you with this high-energy tribute to Freddie Mercury and Queen. It was a packed house, and when I wasn’t photographing the event, I was sitting back and taking in the amazing performance.

The highlight of the night for me was going backstage near the end of the concert to capture some moments from a completely different angle. if they ever come this way again, be sure to check them out as it is a one of a kind show.
TBSO Rehearsal
It’s crazy times we live in right now, and as a creative, it’s going to be a difficult next few months. Before things got as serious as they are now, I had the pleasure of photographing the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra rehearsing before a show last week. TBSO needed updated photos for their promotional material as well as some specific photos of a few key artists in action. It was an amazing experience not only photographing our Symphony Orchestra in action, but also seeing the amount of work that goes into the day of a performance.

TBSO Women & The Blues
This past Saturday I was invited to take photos of the TBSO Women and The Blues event at the Italian Hall. I had photographed a few TBSO events in the past, but this was by far my favourite one. Performers Nancy Freeborn and Zoey Williams sang a variety of songs by Billy Holiday and Diana Ross, amongst others.
Back by the TBSO, everyone put on such an amazing show in front of a sold out crowd. If you haven’t already, next time they perform together, I highly encourage you to check them out. It’s an evening of music will never forget!

Cosbey Quintet Portraits - Trinity United Church
Over the years I have don’t so many family portrait sessions but my latest one with Michelle and her family was probably one of the most unique ones yet. Their family happens to be the Cosbey Quintet and they wanted formal (and casual) portraits of their entire group, which obviously consisted of 5 total people.

They decided to do the session at Trinity United Church which ended up being the perfect location. As much as I love photographing people, adding instruments into the mix, make it even more exciting. I have photographed a lot of bands before and local artists but I haven’t done too many formal portrait sessions with many so I was super excited for this one.
Luckily for me, Michelle and the rest of her family were great in front of the camera. We ended up getting a good mix of photos that they can eventually use for promotional purposes and their website. Hopefully some day in the near future I’m able to get out to one of their actual performances and capture them in action.

Cinderella - with the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra
This past Wednesday I had the pleasure of shooting Cinderella at the Community Auditorium for The Walleye Magazine. Surprisingly this was my first ballet I have ever been to, let alone hired photograph. So suffice it to say I was super excited.
This past Wednesday I had the pleasure of shooting Cinderella at the Community Auditorium for The Walleye Magazine. Surprisingly this was my first ballet I have ever been to, let alone hired photograph. So suffice it to say I was super excited. Going in I didn't really know what to expect which made that much more spontaneous and exciting. I ended up staying for the first act and it was wonderful. There were so many good dancers, and combined with the fantastic orchestra, it was really quite the evening. That's probably why it was pretty much a packed house.
Being limited to the corner of there stage I worried I would struggle getting good enough shots but in the end it wall worked out. As you can see from the pictures below I think I was able to capture some wonderful moments.
