This series is from a test shoot I did. This was the first time I worked with Michea Crawford, who I continued to work with in the coming years.

Taking advantage of the unusually warm weather in a usually chilly and snowy town, Lindsay Ferguson. and I set out walking around her beautiful home town of Wakefield Quebec. The month? January, 2007. This was our first planned shoot. Although we didn't plan the warmth of the day. So these pictures are Lindsay. and I really clicking for the first time on a photoshoot since our first one back in the Summer of 2004.

Taking a pile of smashed lens glass and making a nice little line. Full view highly recommend so you can see the tiny little specs of color.

Smashing a video camera lens wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. Video of the smashing in action is "here".

I often take for granted the ease the working relationship is between Alexandra Rodionova and I. These pictures are a direct result of that comradery. If you where an onlooker on a shoot with Alex and I you would wonder why we hardly talk when we're right in the middle of taking pictures. Well, we don't need to communication, "stand this way, look that way, etc". We know each others every move. Thus is the benefit of working with a muse. Alas, these days must come to an end. After 5 years of working together Alex is going her own way. So all I have now are there archived photo shoots to share. I'm sure once in awhile we'll team up again... ...in the mean time I guess I'm in the market for a new muse! You can contact me at muse@chaosacademy.net. Please include head shots and full body shots. hehe Photo by Jef Harris.

I've always wanted to do a school girl type of shoot. I know it's tacky and way over done. I thought I would do my own twist on it. The really cool thing about this shoot, besides Lissa, was that I actually managed to find school desks from the 1950s. Photo by Jef Harris. www.jefharris.net

The concept for this shoot was this: Over three days shoot three very different models in three different locations. Each model was put in a place defined by my impression of their personality. Each model was given a prop for them to use or to be shot against, and yes the prop is also chosen based on the model’s personality. So over three days, Fri, Sat, Sun, each model is shot during sunset. While on set I was struck with very specific names for each shoot. Deep, Down, and High. (The series later became known as DDH). The “Deep” shoot is the third shoot. This was shot in a hotel swimming pool, so there where hotel guest all over the place, which was fun to shoot around. This was the first time for me shooting a model, (Michea), actually IN water. So I really wanted to play with light, how it was used, how it reflected of the water, etc. For this specific picture, well, when Michea was there ‘lounging’ on the ledge of the deep end I just HAD to grab this shot.
