This is HUGE!!!! I was browsing around the net and found this amazing behind the scene video.

Finn O’Hara – a Toronto commercial photographer who shoots for clients such as Forbes, The Guardian Weekend Magazine, New Scientist, Wallpaper, The Walrus and Wired.

The following video is a behind the scene timelapse taken by a 5D mark II, documenting the set-up and the shoot. This was held at the team’s new practice facility. The images of the 2009-10 roster of the Toronto Maple Leafs are to be used in this year’s TV and Air Canada Centre arena broadcasts, as well as next year’s print material.

WOW!!!

I am at a loss for words after looking at the scale of production. It is a dream come true for any photographer to work with a project that gigantic.

You see work by guys like this all of the time, but you rarely get a good look behind the scenes. FYI, video was happening on the other side of the black drapes. This is definitely an efficient way to allocate the resources in such a demanding project.

In Awe. Simply Amazing!

We discussed about marketing, how we can use Facebook, Blog and Twitter to grow our business! The only way to success is to “create –> share –> sustain“. It is very simple actually – Just do something you love, then share the results with the world. Of course sustaining your hobby is the toughest part of the process. Chase used an example where a fellow photographer was selling his girlfriend’s underwears on Ebay. Now that is creativity. LOL!



This book, The Best Camera Is The One That’s With You is one of Chase own personal projects. He basically funded this project with his money earned from his commercial work. He developed this awsome IPhone App that retouch photos taken with IPhone on the spot and then upload to the ever growing Internet photo library @ www.thebestcamera.com.
