Saskatoon Photography-Kyler Brooklyn

Posted in newborn photography, shoots by Hemant Naidu on August 26, 2010

May 9th, 2010 was Mothers’ Day and my brother-in-law Chris and his wife received the greatest gift imaginable – a new daughter. Kyler Brooklyn was born in Saskatoon and was a perfect baby girl.

I was super excited when they asked me to take some photos of Kyler a few months later in their Langham, Saskatchewan home. My wife and I spent an evening with the three of them in a nice relaxed setting where I could just take some photographs of her in her natural surroundings.

Like I mentioned in the teaser for this shoot, I love capturing people in a way that showcases their natural beauty, and when I have a chance to do that for members of my family, it’s just that much more special.

Here are some of my favourite photographs from that evening. Be sure to watch the high definition slideshow at the end to see even more of Kyler Brooklyn.

Note: for the best quality make sure HD is set to on along the right side of the video player. Scaling should be set to off.

Think Outside the Box Photography Workshop

Posted in workshops by Hemant Naidu on April 2, 2010

I just wrapped up a workshop called Think Outside the Box that was offered by Shannon Brunner Photography here in Saskatoon. The workshop ran for eight weeks giving us a look into her studio, how she envisions her work, and as the title implies, how to think outside of the box. Each week Shannon would bring in models for us to work with, but one bonus class took us outside of her studio setting.

We all piled into her vehicle and she took us to the University of Saskatchewan which offers some great interior locations for shoots. We had three models for the day giving us the opportunity to work with each of them in different locations. Most of my time was spent with Janae so I though I would share some of the gorgeous shots of her.

You can see more of Janae here.

Fear Salesman Promo Shots

Posted in shoots by Hemant Naidu on January 23, 2010

Nate Heagy recently made international news with a marketing idea for his band Fear Salesman. When the Google Street View Car made it’s way through the streets of Saskatoon last summer Nate made sure that he was in its sights. Six months later when Street View went live in Saskatoon Nate quickly verified that his idea had paid off. Pictured on the side of the road is Nate, his guitar, and a big Fear Salesman sign.

It wasn’t long before news organizations caught wind of this little marketing ploy and the interviews started to roll in for Nate. That’s where Naidu Photography entered the picture. Nate was starting to be asked for media packages and he didn’t have any decent shots of himself. He asked for my help and I was happy to oblige. We scheduled a quick shoot and created some great shots.
