A lot of planning and physical work goes into creating a set to have safe socially distanced visits with the Easter Bunny. We are setting up shop in the same location that Santa and the Grinch were in last year so the first step was taking down the decor for Christmas. Then rearranging all of the lights and equipment, drawing up traffic flow and theme set designs that would have room for families and photography staff to work at safe distances.

Then acquiring all of the materials to make it all work.

And bring the Easter Bunny in for headshots.

And then put the finishing touches on the set.

Heather is an Ottawa entrepreneur and industrial designer who is dedicated to creating new, and beautiful, display items from old and discarded materials at her company Re4m in Ottawa. She is also the person who built the Iconic Portrait Studio Facade and set backdrops for Santa Claus at Billings Bridge and Hazeldean Mall.

It was a pleasure to work on her headshots and personal branding photographs in our studio in Billings Bridge and I look forward to making her next series with her.

It is written somewhere that you should always give yourself at least three choices - this is, I believe, why they created Neopolitan ice cream, a true parent saver.

How many times have you been given the choice of one thing or nothing? Not really a choice. So why do so many businesses do this as their default proposal? Failing to present the three options; Good, Better and Best, denies customers the most valuable of your offerings; choice.

There is more than one highway that will take you to Toronto and more than one way to speak to your customers, give yourself at least three options and pick the best.

If you use Zoom you know that you can change your background, but what to use? I’ve put together some pictures into a gallery for friends and colleagues to use as backgrounds for their next meetings. 

Each photograph is sized to fit your Zoom screen at the correct resolution.

There is beauty in commercial buildings. 

This past summer I had the good fortune to go on a road trip to photograph nineteen Ontario properties for BentallGreenOak. What I was able to capture was more than buildings and roads and parking lots. Whether it was a Peterborough McDonalds, a Starbucks in Milton, a Tim Hortons in Mississauga, the gleaming White Oaks Mall in London or the busy towers (and underground) of downtown Toronto I took my time to make pictures that would make my high school architectural drafting teacher (Mr. Shone) proud. And while it was five days on the road making pictures at every waking minute I spent just as much time at my computer editing; straightening lines, fixing cold patches, removing errant trash & shopping carts and removing, or blurring, people (who would have thought people could stand that still for five-second exposures). 

 In these photographs, I see the beauty of these buildings and communities and wanted to show respect for the people who planned, built, own, occupy and visit them every day. https://lnkd.in/eymr_Gd
