Application Headshots

Edmonton Professional Headshots - Trident Photography

I was unaware, but when submitting your application to be accepted into medicine, they require a headshot as well. So being the professional that he is, Aaron came by and had a professional portrait taken. This will undoubtably put his application much higher in the minds of the reviewers. So make sure you make your best impression by having your professional headshots done by Trident Photography.

Fun and Frolick

I had Elyse over today to get a few shots done, and this was by far my favorite. The key thing when making portraits of people is to get them in a situation they fell comfortable with. Elyse was very relaxed and photographs beautifully when she is doing something that comes natural to her.

Family Portrait Session

I first met Cindy & Russ last summer at a neighborhood BBQ. So Cindy called me up to see if I was able to come and do some family portraits for them and her extended family. Her sister was having a birthday, and all seven of the siblings were together. It was a bit of a shame that the weather prevented us from having the session outdoors, but Cindy’s home is huge and easily could accommodate the group of about 20 people. We did some big groups, small groups, individuals, and even some fun shots. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Family Portrait Photography Onsite

Purkis family with the roadster.

I enjoy the fact that I am able to take my ’show on the road’ so to speak. By that, I mean I like making portraits of people on location in settings or with things that are of significance to them. Aside from making the portrait more personal, it also tends to give the subject more comfort while doing what many consider to be an uncomfortable thing (having photos done). So such was the case with the Purkis familiy Who wanted a portrait done with the car that was just finished being built. Mrs. Purkis planned this event ahead of time, knowing that while her family was all together it would be a great time to have their portraits taken. Her son, his wife and their 2 kids are now living out East, and her other son is in Calgary. So having them all together again will be a rare event. I know my 5 Aunts and Uncles on my Dad’s side of the family make jokes that the next time they are all together again there will only be 4 of them. It is easy enough to stay in touch via the web and telephone, but actually getting the family together in person is a precious event.

Metro Fire Chiefs Conference

Group of Fire Chiefs - Trident Photography

I had the opportunity to photograph the fire chiefs from cities all over North America tonight. Every year the chiefs meet in different cities and this year Edmonton was lucky enough to be the host. Our city did an excellent job and hosted the reception in city hall which provided a beautiful setting. I have attached a few of the images from tonight to show.



And a special thank yo uto the GTT team for your help, and for bringing me to the conference.

Childrens Miracle Network

I will be donating my photography services on Saturday, May 30 (UPDATE: I have been asked to add a second date and location which will be Sunday May 24th at the West end Costco. ) in support of the Childrens Miracle Network.  The Southside Costco will be hosting me somewhere near the front entrance, and I will be doing individual portraits from 9:30-6pm.  This is the best way to get a $150 portrait session for only $20!  That’s right, a mere $20 donation gets you a sitting, and an 8×10 print.  All of the images from the day will be hosted on my website in the client area, so you will be able to see what images were taken, and order your print.  I will also be offering additional prints online at a very reduced rates should you need more.

Edmonton Family Photographer

I went to do an in home family portrait session today way up on the north end of Edmonton. As usual, I had a great time making some wonderful images for the family, and making a new friend. I was trying to get a nice photo of an ‘I’m tired of having my pictures taken’ boy who is just about 2 years old. Fortunately, like everyone else in my family, he seemed to like it when I pretended to get injured. We were having a pillow fight with the cushions from the couch, and he would laugh and laugh when I would ‘accidentally’ drop the cushion on my own head as a cocked it back to throw at him. Somehow with all these shenanniggans, I was able to get some great expressions. I even brought the cushions into the kitchen where I set up a makeshift studio to do the family portraits to hold his attention. Thank you for the fun day, I see you have already marked 10 images as favorites in your online gallery. That is great.

Graduation photography

I was called up a couple of months ago to do some graduation portraits for one of the faculties at the U of A. Well, today was the first of 2 days photographing the grads. Things went really smoothly, and there was plenty of spare time. I will have to make a note of that for next year, so I can book more people per day, and do the shoot in only 1 day as opposed to 2. Hopefully I will do more faculties as well.

Last shoot of the season

I was called out for a multi family photography session on Sunday, as a result of a referral from another photographer friend of mine. It’s kind of a funny story. I was talking to Joe on the phone about doing the photography for his family, as I was driving home on Friday, so then when he got back to me that evening to confirm the time and place, he said “do you have a white van that says Trident Photography on it?” I do , so I said yes. Then he tells me that right after I talked to him on the phone, he saw me driving around his parent’s neighborhood. Well, when he gives me the address of his parent’s place (which is where the photos are to be taken), and it turns out it is only about 2 blocks from my house. What are the odds? Anyway, it was my pleasure to meet his father Habib, and the rest of his family. Super nice people, who coincidentally run the Parkallen Restaurant on 109st. If you have never been there, it is a nice Lebanese cuisine, and they are well known for their selection of high end wines. Here are some of the images I made for them.
