I’ve shot actor headshots. I’ve shot author headshots. It was high time I added another “a_____ headshot” to my resumé, so here’s an artist headshot of friend Stephanie!

Stephanie’s work appears on wood and paper (which, of course, is really thin wood), and can be seen at the Queen Alexandra Children’s Hospital or, if you have a time machine, the Royal BC Museum’s Dinosaurs: Dragon Bones in China exhibit.
She needed a professional headshot for some upcoming shows, so we headed out to shoot at the funnest place ever: Hotel Zed.

Our search for locations took us to an apparent school bus graveyard of questionable odours, but hey, this ain’t smellovision, so you just get to see how cool it looked.

I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to use this amazing wall, and it did not disappoint as a background.

We ended up in some pretty interesting areas with pretty interesting colours . . .

Helping out on this shoot was friend Tyson, who took this backstage shot of me directing Stephanie. Please note, I’m not doing that make-a-frame-with-your-hands director thing. I’m not quite that cool.

And, since we had Tyson, and since we had that wall . . . BONUS TYSON HEADSHOT!
