This series marks my first time shooting Alexandra Rodionova in a swim suit. So to celebrate we headed an hour outside of any major cities to a secluded very large mansion. This series was shot shot in the middle of the Winter, so we where quite happy to find out that the mansion had a huge inside swimming pool. So together with a Calvin Klein swim suit Alex and I set out to conquer the world of swim suit photography. Next stop, the Bahamas. / Shot on location in Chesterville, Ontario / Make-up by Rhianna Hogan.

The Fearless shoot was my chance to really plan a shoot unique to my creative relationship with Alexandra Rodionova. My idea was to compare fashion of today with fashion of around the time I was born, (1967). I used two full issues of Andy Warhol’s original Interview Magazine for the background. This was really hard for me, because these are really rare and really expensive. But if I wasn’t going to put everything I had into this it just wouldn’t be worth doing. This was one of those shoots were everything came together. The hair, (Mark), the makeup, (Caroline), the outfit, the background, the lighting, everything. / Photo by Jef Harris / http://www.jefharris.net

This series is the result of me NOT shooting anything for over 7 months. Well, I should correct myself. I did shoots. Just not with people. I guess I was rebelling against using people and just did macro photography with inanimate (lifeless?) objects. / Then, while in a craft store, I spied this mask, and wow, it struck me how ‘perfect’ it was. “How did they make this”, I thought too myself, “who’s face did they use to model this from?” Etc etc. So together with someone I trusted, and who trusted me, I set out to end my seven month dry spell.

This series was done in the middle of the woods, around the middle of Dec, 2002. It was freezing! The hot chocolate helped though. Most of these pictures are with Theak and Alex standing together, this was not a direction, and they were doing this out of a need for warmth! Half of these pictures were taken using a Nikon F, or F2 I believe, (no markings on the camera), and the other half with a Canon G3 digital camera. / Great makeup job by Rhiana, and of course, the whole look and feel of this shoot would not have been possible if not for the styling of Elisa.

During the Summer/Fall of 2003 I had a chance to work with Lissa over the course of 5 shoots. This shoot is our 3rd time working together. / I had always wanted to do an overtly sexual shoot like this, and lissa was kind enough to lend me the use of her body. We had a blast on this shoot. We had the sauna to ourselves for the entire day. I’d do it again in a second!

Title says it all. / Or does it?!?

One night, very late at night, I felt an old urge return to me. An urge to paint. So I put on a pot of tea and set about to paint till the early morning hours. As the tea was heating up I realized, oh wait! I had not paint and no canvas! Opps. So I grabbed the back of a board I found on the street and all the unused and almost empty jars and tubs of paint I had and just went crazy. / The texture on this print is incredible. Large view a must!

For me what really stands out about this shoot is the when and where of how. / The location? Britannia beach. Why is this so special? Well, I grew up not far from this beach here in Ottawa. I know live down town and I very rarely get back here. Something very interesting happened after this shoot was over. First let me give you a tiny background on me and the Summer of 2006. I went a little nuts and did about 15 full day all out shoots almost non stop. So much that I’m still going through them! / So much so that by the time I was finished shooting Erika my left eye was actually hurting so much it was going out of focus! / So after this shoot I decided to just sit and relax and watch the sunset, (with my one good eye). / So the bench I planted myself was located behind a volleyball tournament with the sun behind the players, silhouetting them. / While they where playing they began kicking up allot of sand dust. The entire scene had this eerie other world feeling. / Yet I’ve no pictures of that. Not because I was out of film. Forced by my one bad eye I was reminded that I don’t have to take a picture of everything. Sometimes it’s nice to just sit and watch. / The full set can be viewed at the link below. / http://www.flickr.com/photos/jefharris/sets/72157600000540315/

This project is an exercise in simplicity. Every once in awhile I like to challenge myself, keep my creativity fresh, by going out and doing a shoot with just my camera and a model. I shoot here in what she’s wearing, (or what she’s wearing underneath). I’m forced to use my environment, the model’s personality, and what ever I can find to make the shoot happen. Of course with Alex and I doing these kinds of simplistic shoots for more than four years we’ve gotten very very good at it. / Featuring Alexandra Rodionova. / http://www.alexandrarodionova.net / Photo by Jef Harris / http://www.jefharris.net / Full set can be found here: / http://www.flickr.com/photos/jefharris/sets/1069293/

My most favorite style of shooting is to just pickup and go. This most developed style came about from my unique working relationship with Alex. (In fact most of the shots I’ve done are done now in this pick up and go style.) / So together with some portable lights, and a hand full of outfits, we set out on a chilly Ottawa night with one goal in mind. To have fun. And indeed we did. To me, each picture has its own personality, testament to the creative talent hidden all around this great city. / Full set can be found here. / http://www.flickr.com/photos/jefharris/sets/1076033/

It’s worth stopping. Stopping to see the details. No matter how ugly something is, if you take it out of context the beauty becomes all to clear. / This is what I’ve done here. Gone right down into the gutter of a soap laden sink.

Often we can be distracted by what is under our feet. The pavement rushing buy as we walk, small sprouts of grass pushing through the cracks. It is above me that most interests me. The corners of buildings. The long pipes running along side a building. The drippy mix of melting brick colors. Don’t be afraid. Tourists do it all the time. Look up in your city instead of looking down! There is a whole world waiting for you!

While on a movie shoot in the middle of the woods, I had the opportunity to wonder off by myself and explore. I must have walk for 20 minutes deeper into the woods. The trees got more dense as I went. Then all of a sudden I came upon a clearing, a swamp! Duck, Geese, and deers here and there drinking and relaxing. I look off the to the right of me, and for some reason there is this really old and broken down walkway going out about ten feet into the swamp. I wonder what it could have been used for?

The location for this shoot has to be one of my favorites, and quite possibly the reason why this series turned out to be so stylistic. Well, okay, maybe lexxy, (Alexandra Rodionova), did have something to do with why the shots look so incredible. heh. / Again, this is one of our spontaneous shoots where we just got out from in front of the puter with the goal to create art. Every once in a while when the shots turn out to have such potential I tend to take my time working on them. Like a fine wine each sip must be savored for all it’s worth. This is why it took me a year and a half to work on the entire set. And the great thing about this shoot is that a hand full of these ended up being full page advertisements for various products! / Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed working on them!

During the L3G3ND shoot, I took the change to indulge in a secret passion of mine. Macro Photography. So stepping aside from using a white glossy card board as my background, I thought it might be interesting to use a body as my canvas.

$5000 VCR dissected for the sake of art!

...or as I like to call it. “MicroChip Porn”. / A huge set of macro photographs taken of a high end $5000 Panasonic Editing Deck. / Except for the electronic boards, no piece is bigger than a golf ball. The / smallest piece, is about an 8th of an inch. All to often we see macro photography of electronics, and frankly, it bores me. So the goal here was to approach the style in my own perspective. / For the real guts of the why’s and how’s, each picture has a nice detailed / description. / Below you’ll find a link the entire mega set! / http://www.flickr.com/photos/jefharris/sets/1075445/
