  • 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.

  • 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/

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

  • 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/

  • During the Summer/Fall of 2003 I had a chance to work with Lissa over the course of 5 shoots. This shot is our 3rd shoot. / 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • The greatest macros on the planet! / Shot over the period of one month. Anything and everything I could get my hands on. Not those boring old bugs and plants kind of macros. No no. The objects in our life. Everyday normal objects. Well, normal and everyday objects in MY life… / The entire set can be viewed here. / http://www.flickr.com/photos/jefharris/sets/72157600947932208/

  • Every shoot has a story. Well, all my shoots do. Every single one. Most stories are kept between me and the people involved. This shoot’s story is so fun I thought / I’d share it. And with most good stories, this one is short and sweet. / It’s 2AM. I get a call from Michea. She’s drunk. HEY JEF!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING, she yells. “Not much, just working”, I know what’s coming. / “You wanna do a shoot?” she says. / I was there in ten minutes. / Nuff said.

  • One of my favorite past times is to wonder around with my camera and just shoot and shoot and shoot. So while on the set of a recent movie, (a horror movie called, “Hidden Darkness”), I was treated to some unexplored landscapes. During our lunch break I set off to shoot. Because of the location, out deep in farm land, all I thought I was going to be able to shoot was the sky, the grass, rocks, etc. Then I come around this old shed and find this very full, but hardly ever used swimming pool. The water was so eerily calm, and the reflection was so, er, nightmarish. The whole scene just fit right in with the theme of the movie.

  • My last and most interesting shoot with Lissa G. We went a little crazy on this one. We where completely out of ideas, so we just sort of had fun. So imagine Lissa and I sitting in my studio, both cross legged in the middle of the room. Me with all sorts of odd painting materials and trinkets around me. Lissa became my living doll, allowing me to do what ever I pleased with her. (insert evil laughter here). So I limited myself red and white paint and a few unused copper jewelry pieces. Oh, and I forgot to mention that Lissa was only dress in her underwear, but those pictures will have to wait…

  • 1840 v2.0 / With the original versions of these pictures I was not able to use all the shots because they where damaged. But now, four years later, and with Photo Shop CS3, I’m able to rescue some really great pictures and show them now with pride. / 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 & Alex standing together, this was not a direction, and they were doing this out of a need for warmth!

  • 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

  • While walking with good friend of mine along a lonely path location on the insides of a city she reaches out and for no reason at all takes my hand. We continue walking without words. None needed. A house comes upon us. I take a picture. This is the picture. Somehow the perfect representation of the moment. / What lay inside this window? I will never know. for a boy who never loved / his fingers were to strong / for a girl who never dared / her fist did not just hit the table Photo by Jef Harris.

  • During a product shoot for a hip hop band, I caught Alex in between outfits. As she was facing away from me the light on her back was incredible. I asked her to freeze. She turned slightly and I took this picture. Model: Alexandra Rodionova / http://www.alexandrarodionova.net / Photo by Jef Harris / http://www.jefharris.net
