Here is a fun behind the scenes look from the Christmas shoot.
People often use the word editing to refer to photo manipulation, changes something major in the photo like somebody head on a different body, etc. Editing can be light adjustments, colors changes, blemish removals or exposure balancing
I always recommended shooting in Raw, because so much of a file can be adjusted when raw editing. Take a look at this first example, here is a shot under exposed before any adjustments of any kind, shot, low ambient light, ISO 1600, with a Canon 5D MkII,

Below is a light room edited file, adjustments to exposure, luminance, Contrast and White Balance. This has not been even opened in photoshop yet, and all adjustments are temporary and can make any adjustments required by reopening the file and adjusting it back to the first image or trying a different effect.

Below: The below image was edited in Photoshop, we took the Light room image and modified it to the desired effect, A little Airbrushing of the skin, balancing shadows, replacing background with left side and adding in stars for a dreamy Christmas feeling. We also removed the
tattoo on the arm, Brightened the shadows in the Christmas tree and added the writing.
I try and edit not to change the photo but to enhance what I like about the photo.
Here is a teaser from My recent shoot with two wonderful models
A big call out to Keellie & Taryn, if possible I would ask Santa for these two girls to be under my tree come Christmas morning!
I would love some feedback, and comments about what you think
Here is a second Teaser photo from the shoot, hope you enjoy!


I had the pleasure of working with a new model recently. I would like to share her with the Mhpmodel fans!
Her name is: Jess Madiline Neufeld
She was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and has being living in Lacombe for the last 16 years.
She started Modeling in Grade 7, originally took acting classes, but then decided to start modeling as a change and she fell in love with it from day one.
A notable Achievement in her modeling career: She was invited to fly down to New York for modeling.
Jess is passionate about modeling, and willing to work very hard to get the desired shot and look. She also makes sure to take the time to herself. She loves going to dinner and movies with my friends, or just hang out with her parents at home. She likes to attend the odd party once in a while as long as its not a huge raging brawl.
She loves watching sports but when it comes to playing them she says she is not exactly the MVP, but does prefer to just keep in shape by working out.
She is currently finishing High School and plans to attend U of C or Mount Royal to study psychology and sociology.
Mhpmodels is excited about Jessica’s future in modeling! Stay tuned for more Jess!
