Joe and Kristin's Wedding: 12 x 12 submission

2011-11-25T15:53:00.000-08:00

Last year I participated in the Vancouver 12x12 for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. It was bitterly cold and at times rainy but the excitement of shooting film in a contest kept me warm and excited to shoot. To my surprise I won in the last category of the day, “Unfunny”.

The positive energy and pure joy of this event had me looking forward to the 2011 12x12 event but was deeply saddened to hear that it was taking place smack dab in the middle of my wedding season. Even though I couldn’t participate as an official member, I was determined to still be there in spirit. With the help of Angela Chih, the Vancouver 12 x 12 Producer, I took the challenge to Victoria and shot the categories in real time during the wedding. I was able to tie in the category “series” with ease, which in the previous year found very difficult to do. It definitely brought a unique excitement and a different challenge to shoot during the wedding. Every hour I pulled out my Pentax K1000 (my first and favorite camera) and shot each category, jumping up and down every time I came up with something fun and silly.

Final kayfabe Stills

Some more Kayfabe stills. Gotta love make-up artistry.

Wedding number 2

2006-09-03T10:54:00.000-07:00

This is my second wedding shooting with Boda; it happened to be a Greek Orthodox wedding. Tanya and Ari had to stand at the alter for an hour in an un-air-conditioned church (the air conditioner broke the day before) and I thought for sure that if I felt like passing out from heat... there was a good chance one of the Groomsman would go first. The hour-long ceremony allowed me to have a lot of photo opportunities.

GOAL!!!

2006-08-18T16:48:00.000-07:00

A couple photos from the Vancouver VS Ottawa womans finals game at Swanguard Stadium. Vancouver slaughtered the Ottawa 3-0. I wish I had a 300 for some of these shots.

Kayfabe

2006-08-18T16:32:00.001-07:00

Director Mike Scully is wrapping a feature length wrestling film called Kayfabe. You can take a look at his site at :http://www.kayfabeentertainment.com/ - I enjoy shooting movie stills; working with actors is a great experience... they tend to be very low maintenace models, full of great ideas.

Wedding number one

2006-08-18T16:11:00.000-07:00

This is Wedding number since returning back to Vancouver. I love the freedom of being a second shooter.

I have been very busy lately and have once again neglected to update my blog. For those of you who view frequently... I am deeply sorry. I will however, try and catch up. The next few posts will include pictures from the Vancouver Whitecaps playoff game, a fire photo from Mitchell Island and photos from the horrible oil spill that occurred in Squamish.

Publishings

2006-07-21T11:07:00.001-07:00

Alright, so I have come up with a wonderful idea today. 24hrs publishes daily online... and a lot of the time I cannot make it out to our orange newspaper boxes to pick up my tear sheets. So I thought I would pull the tearsheet off the web and post here. So here it is, the first one of many. ENJOY!

How would you like to wear your food? These cuisine inspired outfits designed by local fashion students were displayed in a runway fashion show at the new Capers opening up in Vancouver. Did I mention that I love fashion photography?

These biking photos were taken at Stanley Park with my 70- 200. I wish I had a tele-converter.

2006-07-07T11:00:00.000-07:00

I received all my tear sheets form the local 11 newspapers that I shot for during the B.C. Provincial Track Meet. Here are a few that ran VERY large in the papers. The top right photo ran on North Vancouver's front page!

ITM

2006-07-02T08:53:00.000-07:00

I have a little time this morning (5min) to post another posting on my wonderful blog.
These are the ITM model girls who were traveling around Vancouver to different tourist spots as a promotion. Origionally, the pose was in an I T M form, of which would have been really interesting to look at if I was photographing from a building or a plane. There was absolutely no where to get high enough in the park... unless I climbed a tree... so I became the art director and... tried to get some different poses.. but this was all I could grab.

2006-07-01T08:30:00.000-07:00

Incase you cannot make out what these girls are touching.... it is a relief artwork that will be put up at various construction sites around Vancouver. It's Art You Can Feel. Quite a concept... getting to touch plastic boobs as you walk by construction sites I had a blast taking these photos; asking random passer-byers to please touch the boobs so they could get into 24hrs newspaper. The top left photo was the one that ran on the front cover. The Art You Can Feel Project includes other relief works as well.

Cirque !!!

2006-06-25T15:16:00.000-07:00

OH yes!

VAREKAI was the best form of circus gymnastics I have ever seen! Cirque de Soleil is amazing.. I would think working as a gymnast all you life would be a pretty awesome
job. That would be if I were flexible. Unfortunately, all I can do is put my photographic skills into play and try and capture crisp photos of movement at a 30th of a second.No flash allowed my friends... only ISO 1600 (thank you Canon) and a 2.8 to 1.8 range in f-stop.

If any of you ever get to see this show live... please do! It is absolutely amazing!

World Cup Clothes.

2006-06-25T15:09:00.000-07:00

Ah yes the World Cup!! Talk about crazy fans with very expensive multicoloured clothing. This is an older shoot but what can i say, im very slow at updating whats been going on in my photographic life. WHOOT World Cup!!!

2006-06-25T10:58:00.000-07:00

The boys, Ryan Lucier in black and Ryan Anderson in white from the Debbie Travis show. These two are headed back to Toronto this week to find out who will be the winner of the 250,000 dollar prize.

2006-06-16T21:41:00.000-07:00

Just to inform everyone that is on my case about not updating my stuff. i will shortly... I have just been stupid busy. Sorry for the inconvienence.

2006-06-06T10:50:00.000-07:00

These again were for the front of the 24hrs Peek section of the newspaper. We ended up heading out to a store called Jorg and Olif on West 6th and about Yukon in Vancouver. This store has crazy bikes from Holland ranging from 800 to 2000 dollars.

2006-05-31T23:32:00.000-07:00

That’s right, the Vancouver Mounted Police Squad.
While I was in Stanley Park, I whipped over to the stables to shoot the 100th anniversary of the Squad. They entertained the crowds, demonstrating how these absolutely stunning horses are able to handle riot situations. These horses are seriously lean, mean, riot controlling machines and to be honest, the horses get a kick out being enforcers.

2006-05-31T22:31:00.000-07:00

I had a great day with chef portraiture. Each chef had a crazy stories to tell, coming from a variety of backgrounds and education... but one thing they had in common was incredible food! Aurelia had no formal chef training... she started as a dishwasher and worked her way up the chain to Kitchen Commander. She has introduced Hell's Kitchen to her family's Mediterranean recipes and made them a hit.

2006-05-27T22:22:00.000-07:00

My first day shooting at 24hrs Vancouver newspaper... was the same day as my interview. I met my editor early in the morning and he looked over a few photos and told me I'd be starting the next day.. for three consecutive Fridays. I promptly returned back to Langley and purchased a white satin sheet to use as economical reflector. As I pulled into the driveway of my house, I received a call. A JOB. I was to shoot a clothing designer and movie star at Bollywood - Si an (east meets west trendy East Indian designer clothing shop) and an East Indian movie star on my first day in the most impossible conditions. I had not even 5 minutes, in an unfinished building with tv light setups everywhere and hardly any avail light. I have never sweat so hard photographing in my life. What a test.So here he is... the Bollywood star himself , Suneil Shelly, beside some fabulous Crossover Bollywood - Si clothing.

Second Crack at Blogging

2006-05-27T21:29:00.000-07:00

Alright, this is it!

I have finally decided that the best way to post and write daily about my experiences in life is through blogging. I'll leave my formal portfolio on my website www.lisaking.ca... but I would like to post regularly on a blog such as this so that I can express feelings, thoughts and random blabber day to day.

So here it goes.
