Finn O’Hara – Toronto Maple Leafs Photoshoot
This is HUGE!!!! I was browsing around the net and found this amazing behind the scene video.
Finn O’Hara – a Toronto commercial photographer who shoots for clients such as Forbes, The Guardian Weekend Magazine, New Scientist, Wallpaper, The Walrus and Wired.

The following video is a behind the scene timelapse taken by a 5D mark II, documenting the set-up and the shoot. This was held at the team’s new practice facility. The images of the 2009-10 roster of the Toronto Maple Leafs are to be used in this year’s TV and Air Canada Centre arena broadcasts, as well as next year’s print material.
WOW!!!
I am at a loss for words after looking at the scale of production. It is a dream come true for any photographer to work with a project that gigantic.
You see work by guys like this all of the time, but you rarely get a good look behind the scenes. FYI, video was happening on the other side of the black drapes. This is definitely an efficient way to allocate the resources in such a demanding project.
In Awe. Simply Amazing!

Meeting Chase Jarvis @ Toronto
CAPIC, Canadian Association of Photographers and Illustrator, hosted “Following Chase: Enticing Your Clients Through Social Media” an engaging evening with Chase Jarvis at the Gladstone Hotel. This guy is Awsome! Who is he? He is one of the most successful and inspirational photographers out there. He has world-renowned commercial photography business with clients ranging from Volvo and Reebokto Apple.
I was very lucky to be invited and attended with 120 other pro photographers in the community.

Special Thanks to Kelvin for bringing his camera!!
We discussed about marketing, how we can use Facebook, Blog and Twitter to grow our business! The only way to success is to “create –> share –> sustain“. It is very simple actually – Just do something you love, then share the results with the world. Of course sustaining your hobby is the toughest part of the process. Chase used an example where a fellow photographer was selling his girlfriend’s underwears on Ebay. Now that is creativity. LOL!
This book, The Best Camera Is The One That’s With You is one of Chase own personal projects. He basically funded this project with his money earned from his commercial work. He developed this awsome IPhone App that retouch photos taken with IPhone on the spot and then upload to the ever growing Internet photo library @ www.thebestcamera.com.
He was signing my BOOK!!!
