ON & BEYOND

NSW Selvedge Chino Pants + Needles for Nepenthes Bandana

I’ve been hard at work, building a little running program in Montreal for out of shape nerds like myself who are as much into the gear than the sport of running itself… We run twice a week, as a collective. Check out the project and let me know your thoughts…

Training and running season debuted for most, but I’m starting mine this week to get in shape for summer soccer season. After an extensive consultation with Claire at Nike, she suggested to me and my fragile ankles, a pair of Lunarglide+ 2′s. Sure enough, they arrived at the office a couple of days later. Equipped with flywire, amazing ankle support and most importantly the comfortable dynamic support Lunarlon soles, these are sure to do some damage in the next couple of weeks heading into high-gear for futball season. Thanks Claire and NSW for always taking care of me.

Was down in NY to shoot for the MTexperience. Can’t reveal the happenings just yet, but here are some candids from the weekend. Big thanks to Marcus, Charles, IZ & Sarah Kim for a fun 2 days.

Here are more visuals of my trip. I was stationed at 21mercer on my first night, working on live photo editting during the cocktail party for Fashion’s Night Out. The hotel I stayed at (Tribeca Grand Hotel) was absolutely overwhelming, from the commendable & meticulous service to the generously offered malin+goetz shower kit, everything had me looking forward to a good night’s rest.

Muji is always a must.

This year’s lookbook forced me in there.

Nom De Guerre

I am humbled and proud to say that I got to work with some great people when I was in Chicago. Nike Sportswear flew me out to do what I do best at the NSW Six Points. For those who don’t already know, Sixpoints is sort of a constantly evolving retail space (yet it is much more than just retail), opened in collaboration with St-Alfred. It aims to highlight NSW’s latest advancements. It is also where I took photos of Chicago’s own “Mavericks”.

See you next week at 21 Mercer, mister MARK III EOS 1D – 24-105mm L series.

A Couple of RAW images. Final results soon

It saddens me to say that I only got to spend a mere 24 hour in the city, where 10 of those were consumed by set up and photographing in the space. I definitely need to return to the windy city for some real r & r. Big thanks to Errol, Ginger, Dawud, Josh, everyone at Nike, ST A and Six Points for the great experience.

My recent commissioned work for Nike Sportswear had me taking photos of my city to reflect their latest AW77 Campaign that took place in Tokyo, London & New York. I shot a couple of places, where people would do their running in Montreal, such as the Canal, the Mount-Royal, Old Montreal or simply in the middle of the city. Here are some of the images that were used during the customization event at the OTH gallery.

I’m working closely with NSW on a project (this isn’t it), but I took photos of the new FW10 collection that just arrived at OTH. The actual photo project I’m curating will be featured at the NSW Mavericks event taking place this Thursday at 1021a Ste-Catherine St; official NSW embroidery machines will be in place, customizing Nike’s famous AW77 Hoodies for the swoosh fanatics. It starts at 5pm and ends at 10pm, if you are in town make sure to be there.
