2 Races 2 Weeks



Hello Everyone,

I will be running two more races with my camera. The Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront half marathon Sunday, September 30th, 2007 and the Toronto Half Marathon on Sunday, October 14, 2007.

I will be running to raise funds for the YMCA STRONG KIDS CAMPAIGN.

The YMCA Strong Kids campaign helps the people of our community improve their lives. Your pledges allow low income children, youth, adults and families to participate in YMCA programs.

To Donate:
https://mycommunity.ymcatoronto.org/NetCommunity/SSLPage.aspx?&pid=271&srcid=271

Even if you can’t donate any money right now please join the group and help spread the word.

Most marathon images are taken from the sidelines, from the crowd, with a telephoto lens. These images were taken from inside the run providing point-of-view running imagery.
While running you begin to see the world from a different vantage point, you gain a heightened sense of the world around you. The images are designed to capture the unique perspective runners have of the world that surrounds them.

Thanks for your support,
Marco

Smoking Geisha



SMOKING GEISHA
I shot of series of geisha images as part of the lighting tests I'm doing in the studio. Instead of creating the same geisha images the have been made for years, I wanted to contrast the emotions of the model against the rules a geisha has to live by. Hopefully we ended up creating images that stand out a little more than the standard images you always see of a geisha holding a fan.

LIGHTING TEST


Over the last few months I've been doing a series of lighting tests in the Studio. I have a few more tests to do and then I will begin shooting two new series of work. One is called 'Root to hand' and the other is a series of images making fun of fashion photograph. I'll post more samples after each shoot.

This series is a collection of non-traditional images from the alleys of Rome, capturing a city known for its architecture and art from the alleys and darker corners. The images attempt to move away from postcard images and display the beauty and textures found in the heart of the city streets. (Book launch 'Alleys of Rome' - OCTOBER 2007)
