Olympic Fever

The Olympic torch was recently lit and the excitement for London 2012 in the air is palpable. Olympic fever has hit Photolux Studio when Chris Lalonde photographed 5 Canadian Paralympic athletes for the "Super Athlete" campaign.

These photos are almost as beautiful and inspiring as the athletes themselves...

Real Weddings...a teaser

Words can not begin to describe this gorgeous bridal portrait Frank Cava took recently.... we'll post the rest from this wedding when we get through them all.

Very excited for wedding season !

Recent Accomplishments

Once again our commercial photographer genius Chris Lalonde has been recognized with some recent praise and we wanted to acknowledge his success here and share some of his winning shots with you.

First off, he has been nominated for a National Magazine Award for a recent food story in Ottawa Magazine. With almost 2,000 entries, we're very proud that he's down to the final few. The awards will be announced on June 7 at an awards gala and we'll be wearing our "Team Chris" t-shirts.

To refresh your memory, here are his 'ideas on the plate'....

Secondly, Chris has also received a Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA) award for his "We Get You Where You're Going" campaign that was launched in York last Fall. Take a look at the winning campaign....

Keep up the fantastic work Chris !

Silver Medal Finish !

We're proud to announce that our commercial photographer Christian Lalonde has brought home a second place finish in an international photo contest held in Las Vegas last month.

You may recognize this image as part of his Rideau Centre ad campaign across Ottawa. The backdrop is our city's gorgeous new architectural gem; The Ottawa Convention Centre.

We can't say enough about it- we love the juxtaposition of the femininity from the model and the harsh cold steel structure of the OCC.

Photolux Inspires Others at 'Imaging USA 2012'

Sorry for the delay in posting, we have been travelling. In early January, our own Anthony Cava returned from Imaging USA 2012 in New Orleans. Imaging USA is the longest running national photographic convention, expo and image exhibition in the United States, drawing tens of thousands of professionals from around the world.
Anthony was one of their guest speakers sharing his 20+ experience as a photographer in the wedding industry with a strong focus on running a successful photography studio & bringing clients exceptional product & service in a competitive marketplace. We work with Anthony so we know how talented and inspiring he is but it is always nice to hear that kind of praise for your colleagues from others outside our office walls (because of course we're biased).

Vincent Lawson,  from Mobile, Alabama attended Anthony's packed session and sent us the following; "Anthony, it was an honour to meet you and to hear you speak. It was an outstanding class. Thank you again."

Leah Hubbard from Knoxville Tennessee also had kind things to say about Anthony;

"Your class was very beneficial to me and I am changing several things in the next few days due to the knowledge I gained from your lecture. Thanks so much for sharing!"

Keep up the great work Anthony, Ottawa is lucky to have you.
