This custom 4x6" photo flipbook of the Monarch Theatre is the latest addition to my Around the Hat shop. Featuring 22 original images from inside the Monarch, this affordable flipbook is a way of sharing some of my best shots of this historic and beautiful movie theatre. Check out this new item here.
If my own photo sets around Medalta didn't give away how much I like the place, hopefully these images of their products do. I was hired to shoot these images for their gift shop back in the spring before I became side-tracked by the 3D printer video I also did for Medalta. Expanding on what I've done countless times for the Weddingstar website and magazine, I set out to capture the items in Medalta's museum gift shop for the launch of their new online store.
From basic shots on white, to comparison shots of sizes and sets, to in-use shots with props and food, the entire shoot was a lot of fun to pull together. I can't wait to see these images in use, but for now here's a sampling of some of what I captured. Stay tuned for the launch of Medalta's gift shop when it goes live here - and shameless plug - I'm always on the lookout for new projects, so feel free to inquire here.
Chipped paint, rusting metal, and cracked wood lit by a setting sun lend themselves to rich photography. The old farm machinery down at Echo Dale Farm is beautifully symbolic of the history here and across Western Canada. These rustic machines reflect a century of growth throughout the prairies, and in building a photo series inspired by the history that's close to home, I couldn't ask for more appropriate subject matter.
