It might appear as if I was in hibernation mode all winter but in fact, I wasn’t. I’ve somewhat became a handyman for most winter doing plumbing, flooring etc… to make room for the new member of the family, see : http://blog.micael.ca/archives/267.
There are times were you need to prioritize things you wouldn’t feel like doing vs. things you would want to do, like shooting. Aside from shooting for various clients, it was barely possible to find the time to do my own photography. If I had an hour or so to spare, me and my wife would go out for dinner or relax, and to be clear, this is something I enjoy. I mean, shooting is my passion but love comes first.
Last year, around the same period I had spent part of the day in an old abandoned house, see : http://blog.micael.ca/archives/203
The house was able to withstand another cold icy Canadian winter so I venture once more, this time with a model. I need to give credit to my mom who kindly made the remark that it would be a good location for a photo shoot. Never before I had shot a model in such a decrepit house.
Those were all shot with one flash off-camera with a shoot thru umbrella about 2-3 feet away from the model. Here are a few from the photo shoot.

Shot thru broken glass window.
