From Montréal To You

[Andy Thibert]

Hello to my new camera buddies.
I live in Montréal Canada, was born french from my parents who spoked english fluently.
So I got the chance to pick it up fast, but still got some work to do, so please be forgiving

Been shooting more seriously for the last 2 years, with my Canon 5DmkII.
Recently I've purchased a Fuji X-E2 so my canon will collect dust, unless I shoot some Fetich models
that I sometime do in a club in Montréal, for a friend to enhance my flash technique a little.

Mainly I want to shoot for fun, with good tools, proper technique and learning more and more
with these forums.
Lots of good shooters out there, and I learn greatly from all of you.

Will be around, ciao for now!

Andy

Welcome Andy.

I bet you get some lovely shots from your neck of the woods. Really looking forward to seeing them

You'll fit in just nice here, such a mixed bag of great folks with plenty of inspiration, knowledge, from pros, beginners, wonderers, weirdo's , comedians, and most importantly..... Brilliant bunch of photographers.

Good luck

Welcome Andy - great to have you on board, nice to see another Fuji user join the team

Fetish models sounds interesting - looking forward to seeing more

 

[Andy Thibert]

Here are some pics for the ones who wanted those Fetish ones!
These women are real easy to photograph, never seems to get tired to pose for you.
Hope you don't mind these kind of pics over here!
I saved you from the bad ones!

Thanks for the kind words!

Well those are some interesting shots, Andy. Welcome to RPF.

Hi Andy. Glad you made it here. I'm an X1 user - fantastic camera.

Andy - That's some shiny latex!

I learned (in a previous photographic life), that there's a spray-on lube for such material to keep it looking good and shiny on camera - tough job, but someone had to apply it!

Well I don't apply anything cause i'm gonna get a funny look by those model's boyfriends, that don't have trouble finding them, keeping em is another story!
I shot a "défilé de mode" last summer, it was hot, and I really don't know how come these ladys can keep up with this crazy style, I mean I was sweating under these spots,
But them, with their boots, latex dress, latex catsuit, really must be a funny feeling.
There was a couple who came from France, and they are designer, pretty well know, well his wife was in a catsuit with boots, I was wondering how much sweat was in them clothes after
5 hours of wearing em.

My friend, the président of these crazy nights tolm me that if they don't drink enough water they lose consciousness.
There is a price to pay I guess

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Crazy - great way of loosing weight you'd think!

Great, never know, cause the term fetish can shock a few person, I know, but i'm just a photograph trying to getting better with my flash technique!
Which is not that great!

 

[Dave Young]

Welcome aboard Andy.

 

[Beth Carter]

welcome to the club.

 

[Andy Thibert]

Thanks for the kind words to you all.
Looking forward to go take some pics in NY.
Since the Fuji EX2 is allergic to cold, i might take te 5DII along, with a 50 1.4
I dońt want to lose quality.
A full frame is always a winner

 

[Andy Thibert]

Well those are some interesting shots, Andy. Welcome to RPF.

Love your photos Brian.
Can you talk a little bout the equipment you use and software.
They really shine, the way i like.
δll discover more great photographers over here in time.
Thanks

Not so much sensitive @Hamish Gill but there are those who have to be careful at work. Personally I've walked up a local high street on a Saturday afternoon wearing nothing but a corset, knickers and stockings...

Welcome Andy!
