Photolux Wins Best Wedding Album in Ontario and Canada

It’s always fantastic to be recognized for your work but it’s even more rewarding when you are recognized by your peers in the industry. Photolux Studio is happy to announce that we were recently awarded two “best of” awards for one of our wedding albums.

The Professional Photographers of Canada recognized ‘Stefano and Eva’s wedding album as the best wedding album in Canada. According to the PPoC website, the winning album is selected by a panel of judges that bases its decision on overall impact, technical merit, composition and presentation.
The same album was also voted best wedding album in Ontario by the Professional Photographers of Ontario.
Both associations are regarded as the largest and most recognized in Canada and Ontario respectively so we’re honoured they were impressed with our work.

Enough legal mumbo jumbo right? I’m sure you are excited to see this album and we’re happy to share it with you....

Photolux is heading to New Orleans

One of our favourite activities is to travel to conferences around the world to interact with fellow photographers and learn the new trends in the photography industry. It's even better when we're selected as featured speakers at these conferences to share what we've learned with others.

One of our senior photographers, Anthony Cava has been asked to speak at Imaging USA 2012 January 14th and 17th in New Orleans hosted by the Professional Photographers of America .

According to its website, Imaging USA's mission is "to be the first major photographic event of the year that brings together the forward-thinking photographers and business leaders whose ideas spark innovation and change in the industry." The website goes on to explain the conference as "the longest running national photographic convention, expo and image exhibition in the United States, drawing thousands of professionals from around the world. Major components of Imaging USA are the Imaging EXPO trade show, several all-inclusive parties and presentations by some of the biggest names in the photographic industry."

Photolux is honoured to have been chosen as a presenter for this conference. We'll be sure to take some photos of beautiful New Orleans and post them when Ottawa is buried in snow and ice ;)

Rideau Center has put some 'spring' into our step

Have you seen the marketing for Rideau Centre’s new Spring 2011 look ? Chris Lalonde, Photolux’s commercial photographer was the man behind the lens for that campaign.

Chris has been working with Rideau Centre for the last 5 seasons on their big Spring campaign. With campaigns as large as The Rideau Centre’s, the work is planned half a year in advance. In fact, Chris did this shoot in mid December. Which makes it hard to get into the Spring spirit when Christmas is a week away. But as you can see, the shots turned out beautifully. Whatever we don’t post here, can be seen at the Rideau Centre, on buses, on bus shelters and in magazines and newspapers across our city. Photolux is honoured to have this partnership with Rideau Centre.

Ever wonder what it's like to get behind the scenes at one of these massive shoots? Take a peek at this 'behind the scenes video' of the photo shoot from Rideau Centre’s website:

Welcome Back- Our Blog 2.0

Although it didn’t feel like it this past weekend, Spring is in the air ! Rebirth, fresh start, new beginnings. We feel it’s a perfect time for Photolux Studio to re-start this blog. We have to admit its fallen by the wayside in the last few months. It’s not that we don’t like interacting with you all, it’s just we all got so busy and before we knew it, a few weeks turned into months with no posts.

We’re excited to restart this blog and keep you guys informed about what we’re up to; latest trends, conferences we’re attending, weddings and commercial shoots we’re involved with and one of the best parts of our job- mingling at some of the city’s best social events.

We’re also starting up a Facebook page in the near future so please become a ‘fan’, comment on our updates and message us with any questions or comments you have.

Enough chit chat, we have some great things to catch you up on. Let’s go.....
