Audi for TOM*

Toronto Men's Fashion Week opened its third season last night at Audi Downtown Toronto. Last week I shot an amazing "What Drives the TOM* Man" Audi campaign with a fun & dynamic group of wildly talented creatives. Thanks to Audi for having us (and of course for cutting us loose with some cool cars to play with) and to everyone else who worked on the campaign. See the TOM* blog post here.

Looking very forward to the runway events starting tomorrow.... (And in case you missed it, check out more from TOM* here: backstage, celebrity/VIP, and of course...runway)

Special thanks to Brian for the awesome Behind the Scenes photography:

Green Circle Salons

I have to hand it to the Green Circle Salons team...they really did an amazing job with this crazy wig to get their message across. And by looking at the picture it's easy to see how much fun we had shooting it, but just in case that's not totally clear, we have proof in the picture below. Find out more about Green Circle Salons here.
