mounted portraits | feature product

kp — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 18:00:02 +0000

remember when i did the portrait session with lucy? it was a special project for a very special friend and i had a blast working on it. she wanted to present lucy’s portraits ina very special way – something that was different. so i made a few suggestions and worked with my printing vendor and we came up with these 3-D like mounted portraits. the 8×8 flush mounted portraits are raised on a 12×12 plaque, giving them a pseudo- 3-D look.

We made 5 plaques in total – 4 to be hung in a grouping and one will be hung on it’s own. i love working with my clients on special projects like this. i love when we work together with a creative vision and then see it come to life.

what creative vision would you like to create with me?

marcus : RAD GRAD 2010

kp — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 07:31:59 +0000

i’d like to introduce you all to marcus. he’s another RAD GRAD 2010 rep for kp photography. when i met marcus for the first time, i was very impressed by his level of maturity and his sense of modesty. he was very inquisitive about what the RAD GRAD campaign was all about – he asked alot of questions. ALOT! and i like that!

i asked marcus to tell me a bit a bit himself and this is what he wrote: individuality is huge, as is standing up for the little guy. i can’t stand bullies. music is huge in my life. my favorite genre is jazz, after that its either rap of techno. respect is huge for me. and i believe that you have to earn it. and i think that people often hide inside their comfort zone. i like to explore things that may scare other people. i like expressing idea’s that may offend other people. (but i try to express them in a way that will not offend.) i just like making people think a little more deeply about life.

he also told me that he didn’t photograph very well.

with all due respect, i beg to differ!

(i’m stepping a little outside my comfort zone and posting his images in black & white – it’s been awhile since i’ve posted any on here.)

blog give away :: 2 autographed fast track photographer books

kp — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 18:00:29 +0000

if you are in the photography business or thinking about getting into it, this is one of the best photography books you’ll ever read…. and it’s not even really about photography. at least not in the technical sense.

it all started as an idea.

an idea to “flatten” the photography world.

and to be completely honest, i was a little bit skeptical when i first heard about it.

but then, that all changed.

about 18 months ago, two photographer friends, keri of sweet whispers photography and julie c. butler, started telling me all about how they had just become founders with dane sanders fast track photographer group.

“a what?”, i asked…. “a founder? what is a founder and what the heck is a fast track photographer?”

well, before i knew it, dane sent me an email, introducing himself and letting me know that he was available to answer any questions i may have about the the ftp group. so, because i had nothing to lose, i replied to his email. i told him a little bit about myself and my background in photography and then i asked a TON of questions. i was a bit surprised when he replied so soon, and especially when he answered each and every one of my questions with such sincerity and conviction. but i still wasn’t convinced that i should become a founder. after more questions, more emails and one phone conversation, i knew that i wanted to become a founder and that the fast track photographer group was a community that i needed to join. becoming a founder with fast track photographer has been one of the best investments that i have ever made for myself and my business.

dane is one of the most inspirational and amazing mentors that i have ever had. i caught up with him last week when he was in shawnigan lake , teaching at image explorations. he kindly autographed my last two copies of fast track photographer and i would like to give them away. i’ll even make it easy to enter. all you have to do is leave a comment below and tell me what your favorite thing is about summer.

and spread the word. tell all your friends to enter too. comments will close on tuesday.

happy summer!

renata is one of the sweetest young ladies that i have ever met! she is so personable, so cheerful and just so kind!

i first met her a few years ago at steps ahead dance school where she and my daughter both dance. since that time, i’ve had the pleasure to meet and get to know many members of her family, including her cousin andrea & dan.

when i told renata about my RAD GRAD campaign last september, she was so enthusiastic about it and she wanted to be one of my reps. unfortunately, we started just a tad late into the school year but we went ahead and did the session anyway. and what fun we had! i love doing these rad grad sessions!

thanks for a great session renata! and best of luck to you in your future endeavours!

unforgettable gala | kp photography | victoria, bc photographer

kp — Fri, 08 May 2009 06:43:06 +0000

a few weeks ago, one of my favorite clients contacted me about the possibility of donating a gift certificate for a silent auction that she was helping to organize. of course, i was more than happy to help. it’s a great way for me to promote kp photography, not to mention an opportunity to support two of victoria’s major arts organizations.

on saturday, may 9, 2009, Pacific Opera Victoria and Victoria Symphony are jointly presenting Unforgettable: Victoria’s Gala for Music. This fundraising gala, which benefits both the opera and the symphony, promises to be a long-remembered night of magic, music and mystery!

last years event sold out with 400 guests, raising close to $200,000 for the two groups. WOW!!

i am so thrilled to be a part of this amazing event! so, if you have no plans for saturday night, get yourself a ticket to this unfogettable event. and while you’re there, bid on the gift certificates that i have donated.
