Creative portraits with pianist Heidi Wall

Update: fun behind the scenes video here!

As a commercial portrait photographer in Toronto I get to work with a lot of fun and interesting people and classical pianist, Heidi Wall was definitely no exception.

Hair & Makeup: Ivy Lam

Styling & Co-ordination: LIZPR

Among many other career highlights, Heidi is a multi-gold medalist at the Canadian Music Competition and co-ordinates the Kitchener-Waterloo Kiwanis Music Festival and is now set to release a new recording coming up.

As a component of her upcoming concert series, she will be getting to each venue by bicycle - yes, by bicycle! So if you're a concert organizer, this is your chance to see a performer literally go the extra mile...by booking her in Vancouver....

Portrait session with writer Alexander Huls

Alex Huls is a freelance writer and social media strategist (not to mention sharp-shooter business card flicker), who has written for an impressive roster of publications including The New York Times, The Atlantic, and Esquire among others. And if you're a film buff, you're going to want to connect with him on Facebook and Twitter for tips, insights and general amusement.

Now based in Toronto, it turns out we have a lot in common having both lived in Germany for starters. It turns out he also likes to have fun and get ridiculous almost as much as I do!

"I am of German heritage, so I’m fluent in Deutsch. But I’m also Canadian, so I’m fluent in saying 'sorry.' I have worn both lederhosen and a Mountie outfit. Not at the same time."

...challenge for 2014 Alex!
