Special requests are a YES!!

E

Crazy ideas go around when we put our heads together, but in the end it is all for you. When you have a child come in dancing around in her angle wings, blowing bubbles it's quite a site for the parents and fun time for the child. We try not to limit ourselves with ideas. We get inspired from the start so that your pictures can be as close to reality and true to your personality as possible. This is why we enjoy requests from our clients. We research and see if we can recreate or create exactly what you want. Even our models who have special request get to have their own theme because we put 110% in everything we do. After all, their portfolio should be diverse to show their versatility.

Des idées folles nous surviennent lorsque nous nous faisons un ‘’brainstorming’’ et c’est le cas de le dire ! Mais à la fin de tout ça, c’est avec vos idées que le tout se créer. Lorsque vous avez un enfant qui danse avec des petites ailes de papillon et fait des bulles avec son petit bâtonnet, c’est un moment plaisant pour les parents et l’enfant qui s’amuse. Nous ne nous limitons pas avec les idées, nous nous inspirons du moment, de l’instant pour que les photos se rapprochent le plus de la réalité, dans un décor enfantin et qui s’harmonise avec l’enfant en question. Nous recherchons et essayons de faire exactement ce que vous désirez. Même nos models qui ont des demandes spécial ressortent satisfaits, car nous consacrons notre 110% à chaque personne. Après tout, leur porte-folio se doivent d’être diversifiés afin de montrer leurs différents atouts.

Props and designs just for you

E

Sometimes We ask ourselves, what where we thinking attempting this? Here at red Apple, we like to believe that we are all artists at heart. Unfortunately this lets us get carried away when attempting to create our own props. sometimes it works out sometimes we fail miserably. It's always exciting to find new objects that will help set the theme or mood for the perfect pictures but there is so much more to the surrounding than most people realize. One of the settings we were preparing was a dinner table for a thanks giving shoot. well who's baking the turkey? Should we order pounds of fruit to place in a horn or oversize suspenders for the whole family? Our best failed attempt was a cake. I guess there are no bakers at Red apple ...yet

Quelques fois, nous nous demandons bien ce qui a pu nous passer par la tête et essayer de telles choses ! Chez La Pommes Rouge, nous aimons penser que nous sommes tous des artistes à même le cœur. Malheureusement, certaine fois nous nous emportons en essayant de créer nos propres accessoires de studio. Certaine fois c’est une réussite, mais nous avons aussi échouée misérablement! C’est toujours excitant de chercher des objets qui rendent nos projets plus réels, mais les options sont tellement grandes, que les idées se perdent. Un de nos photoshoot était de recréer un souper de Thanks Givings. Alors ? Qui cuit la dinde ? Notre meilleur échec a été notre gateau en pâte à modeler. Il faut croire qu’il n’y a pas encore de pâtissier chez La Pomme Rouge …. Encore.

Phillipe-Olivier and Valerie's proposal


E

Valerie And Phillipe -Oliver(P.O) are quite the pair. At first they were reserved yet they still had such a charm and their chemistry was so intriguing . When I first met them, my immediate impression was tradition meets the 21st century. Once they were relaxed, Valerie's witty remarks started to flow and they were laughing before you know it. P.O was such a gentleman and valerie the perfect lady.They showed us some of their favorite spots and had a reenactment of their proposal day. The beauty of old Montreal and the beautiful architecture of this city is hard to ignore. right in front of those two giant doors on -----st, he got down on one knee To ask the women he loves to marry him. that changed everything. The mood got more intimate and then the camera was able to flow. We were lucky because he originally proposed with a different ring until he could get a hold of his grandmother's engagement ring that was a family heirloom. This was the first time Valerie saw her one true ring that she will have forever. Red apple photography was honored to take part on this authentic moment and looks forward to their upcoming wedding in April 2010.

Mom and Dad compete?

E

Nothing can quite top a mother's love. Mothers are there to take care of you when your sick, clean you when your dirty and tell you how important you are. We depend on our mothers so much that sometimes we forget to mention the role of a father. So lets not forget about the dad's out there either. A father's role can not be forgotten. Dad's dust you off and pick you up when you fall down, take you to ballet and soccer practice and picks you up from school no matter how late. It is always touching to see the love of family and the happiness of expecting couples.

Go with the flow


E

If you got kids coming for a shoot be prepared to have as much toiletries as possible. These little guys run around and need assistance. Nothing is worst then a kid scraping his knee and you fail to have a first aid kit, or even worst no toilet paper. Stack up because your going to need it. Comfortably plays a big role and we sure don't want you rushing to get home.

Music to my ears

E

Get those models pumped with great music. I find it helps ease the more shy people into their photo shoot. Different looks = different songs for some. Sometimes it just takes a little help to be inspired and we love the use of music. Even babies love their TV show songs. They will clap and laugh making it easier for a great shot. This works well for the kids that are too young to listen but to old to sit still. Of course there are tons of ways to help a photo shoot and this is one of the many we like to use.

Background Dilemma

E

When taking professional pictures for corporate use , We stress the importance of a 18% Grey card. This helps you out a great deal when trying to achieve a pure,crisp white or jet black background. This is something you should have if you would like to take pictures of an object to sell on eBay or even for a portrait shot. It gives great photo exposure. Your picture is that much more eye catching when your background is beautifully exposed. Nothing is worst than a black background turning grey. the reason this happens is because your camera automatically adjusts on the fly. Sometimes your camera will see problems that don't really exist. The white backdrop confuses the camera sensors as if it is over exposed so now your camera will fail to give you what you are trying to achieve. You will end up with a underexposed light. The camera really has a hard time differinciating the lighting so using the grey card will calabrate the light meter for the perfect exposure. Focus on the grey card and then shoot. This will save so much time with retouching.

Scouting out the area

E

I think It is very important to scout out the area where a photo shoot is going to take place. You can gather ideas and spots that will help bring out the photo. Even though the light will be different on the day of the photo shoot it is a great way to get a perspective on what to expect from the background and what you can expect the client to do. Although I love a great background, we do not appreciate the idea of the background compensating for poor photography. It is very easy to take a nice picture when you are standing in front of a waterfall with nature all around. But to capture the essence of you takes more work.
