Ever wonder what its liked travelling with @remitheriault for HoC studio? Luckily @motionbymike got that answered for you. #hotellife #travelgram #workfun #behindthescenes #workhardplayhard
Been a pleasure photographing zines for @ottdesignclub since day 1. Bringing their crazy ideas to life with photos. @maryn.devine does them now.
Thursday, I’ll be talking about @houseofcommon.studio and how that came about. What makes us special and what’s been challenging. Hope to see you there.
For @isthisdenial launch, we decided to play with colour and movement. I first did test shots on my own in the studio and then had the set ready for @danielweinand .
Daniel is dropping new songs during the Summer while he’s on tour.

Daniel is very talented. Most people know him as the Shopify co-founder. Although only meeting Daniel IRL recently, we were tumblr pals 20 years ago. I followed Daniel because of his fashion photography - he’s a talented photographer amongst also being a designer and music composer.
I was excited to have Daniel in the studio and I wanted to impress. When building the concept for @isthisdenial , we wanted to play with obscurity. Keeping the DJ persona mysterious from @danielweinand previous work. The play with shadows worked with that narrative.

Excited to have photo as part of @american_photography_winners . I produced a series of portraits for @danielweinand latest artist project @isthisdenial This is one of the more intimate photos with Billie. #ap42 #americanphoto42 #studio
Introducing our first speaker taking the stage on May 7 at “Off Course” – @remitheriault
Rémi is the founder of @houseofcommon.studio – a commercial photography and video studio based in Ottawa that produces impactful visuals to tell a story, build brand identity and drive narrative experiences for its clients. With a tight-knit team at the helm, Rémi works alongside some impassioned minds all driven by the same goal: to create a fun journey, one step at a time.
Outside the studio, Rémi is also known for his signature aesthetic and attention to detail as an independent photographer, capturing intimate moments for a variety of personal and professional projects. He is a recipient of numerous awards with his portraiture, including American Photo, Applied Arts and a Juno nomination for album cover of the year.
At a young age, Rémi was confident about the road he wanted to walk – a road where creative portraits, studio life and California sun lit the way. But like our old friend John Lennon once said, “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” (we’re really digging wise words from 1960s musical legends by the way, could you tell??) It was a series of interrupted plans that brought Remi back to Ottawa, but life has a funny way of landing you exactly where you need to be, even when it feels like you’ve been pushed off course.
Can’t wait for this one 🙌

Honoured to be one of the presenters at the next ODC event, and graciously sharing the stage with two other talented creatives. Tickets now available at @ottdesignclub bio.
Meaghan Murphy @heymeagh is a talented creative director we had the opportunity to work with. She’s also the co-founder of Ottawa’s hottest new lounge - @fono.613
Nini Noun is the fashion designer of the beautiful clothes at @withninishop , an ethical home brand rooted in play, softness, and everyday whimsy.
@remitheriault talk will be about how I ended up doing photography in my mid-20s and some fuck-ups along the way. Not every detour is a wrong turn.
Our careers rarely unfold the way we expect them to. We begin with an internal compass, set a direction, then pick a path that makes the most sense in the moment. We move towards our mountain with intention until one day, the road starts to blur. Suddenly, that picture of success you were working towards no longer fits the life you find yourself in.
That’s what this event is all about. You’ll hear from speakers about how it feels to stop dead in your tracks on a road you’ve been speed walking. How to navigate shifting timelines without losing yourself, make decisions without clarity and start trusting a path that may only make sense once you have time to look back at it.
When: Thursday May 7th | 6 PM – 10 PM Where: @saw_centre Who: @withninishop , @remitheriault , @heymeagh
Sometimes we must make choices and don’t fully understand the reasons why until much later. The trick is getting comfy in that space before later comes.
So, come get comfy with us 🙂↕️
Early bird tickets are $23 until the first 60 tickets are sold 👀

This was a fun collaboration: How to make a tech company not boring - make it about pickles. It’s a long story and we’ll get to that some other day.
House of Common studio was the production company and Mike + Joey at JAM were the team to craft the visual component. Everyone pitch in on how to make this an engaging campaign.
Tech company — so good it’s boring. When the tech just works, that means the IT guy gets time to…make pickles!
