We stopped our fashion photo shoot today so the model could feed his snake pet. It made for a nice break and a quick photo opportunity .

I used a 135 mm lens with a extender to get this close up shot. The extender is added between the lens and the body , has no glass in it and lets you move closer to the subject while still maintaining the focus. It is some times confused with a teleconverter or a doubler which is used to increase the focal length of a lens usually for far a way subjects . A Babak Photo 2010

The G20 - Toronto - June 2010 - all the controversy and the $1.2 billon security expense but just another summer event to be enjoyed.

A quick shoot at the G20 fence area at night. Thanks to the officers for helping with the lighting and the local Italian restaurant for lending us the table cloth for us to use as the top for the model ! A babak Photo – Friday June 25 / 2010

A shoot with Sharon Toxic-Vision clothing & model Hayley Campbell at the studio. Makeup & hair Elena Pacienza . I used strobes for this one, 1 soft box for the model and 2 lights on the back wall to get it a bit cleaner but still have the rawness feel to it. A BABAK photo 2010

Contessa Spoof - Photos © BABAK 2009

“9:30 p.m. November 1 2009, Rowley, up to his old tricks debuts his spoof collection ” BA- BILL” inspired by past Contessa images and shot by Babak. ” Salon Magazine Jan. 2010.

I thought it was a great idea when Salon Magazine approached me to make a spoof collection based on my 2004 photos entries to the Contessa awards. I exaggerated some of the elements that were in the original collection to get the point a cross but did not use the same back grounds or lighting as I thought that would have been too simple and obvious. I enjoyed making this collection with all its little nuances .
