Chocolate Museum in Bromont

My office had a guided tour of the chocolate museum and Natalya was asked to perform.

The museum had sculptures made from blocks of chocolate - and if you feel them it is just like wood!

Another of my favourite shots - I like the way that you can imagine that it is the giraffe that is looking at the person rather than the other way round.

This was one of my favourite photos that I took on LP Day when we went to Granby Zoo,

LP Day Portraits part 2

There is a side benefit of taking everyone's portrait at this event. It means that everyone will have at least one picture of themselves, and therefore I am free to take photos of whatever I want and don't need to take candid shots which usually don't work as well and need more post-processing.

My wife took this one we bumped into other employees while I was photographing whatever I wanted at the zoo.

LP Day Portraits

August 13, 2011 by alex brzezinski in "Levy Pilotte"

Every year at our office "sports" day I take portraits of the staff that attend. I wonder if they are appreciated or enjoyed as any thank you 'could just be sucking up to the boss'. This year I received the complement from one person that he was using an old photo I had taken as his facebook profile picture.

I was once told by the portraitist Gabor Szilasi that the first photo is the skill of the person having their picture taken, and it is only the subsequent ones that represent the photographer's skill. I follow his advice and take only one photo and if it doesn't work I can blame them!
