Last weekend, Matthew Johnston dropped by to have me shoot some new portrait and promotional images for some upcoming music projects he has on the horizon. Matthew is an amazing solo artist. He has opened for Hedley, Justin Nozuka, Girlicious T-Pain, Shad and toured with Rob Dyer and the Skate 4 Cancer marathon of hope. Recently, he provided back up vocals for Classified’s new single Passion, off the album Handshakes and Middle Fingers. Matthew is really photogenic and a pleasure to work with. Can’t wait to have another opportunity to work with him.

A few weeks ago, I shot the record release party for my friends in Two Crown King. Since I have been posting a lot of them lately I thought I would mix the site up a bit and give some love to another local band who helped open the night. Here are some photos of Stereokid, who opened for the Kings on the Rum Runners stage. The night was a ton of fun and everyone I ran into seemed to be having a great time. Be sure to check out the gallery of photos I took of the ensuing party at startshardstayshard.com (It’s not what it sounds like, I promise…)

Here is a photograph I took of my friend Jeremy from when there was still snow on the ground. I was testing my lights to make sure they fired and he gave me this intriguing expression. I really do like this portrait so I thought I’d share it.

Shad K returned to London for a sold out hometown show at the London Music Hall. Fresh from his victory over D-Sisive and Drake (who had like six nominations and still went home empty handed) at this year’s Juno Awards for Rap Recording of the Year, he was joined on stage with old friends DJ T-Lo and Mike Tompkins. The venue was packed, with an unprecedented amount of crowd energy thanks to hype from supporting acts, Casper the Ghost, Keys N Krates and my mates in Two Crown King. For now here are some Shad photos, I might post some photographs from the other acts in the near future.

My pal Andrew James is a pretty amazing musician. He has been creating some of my favourite local lo-fi/pop music under the moniker Whipping Wind. For his 7” release, drummer Eric Lourenco, Bassist Simon Larochette, and Saxophonist Shawn Clarke, joined AJ on stage at Call the Office and officially killed it. It was one of the most fun shows I’ve seen in a long time. If you haven’t heard any Whipping Wind tracks before, you need to click here right now.
