Jesse is such an amazing male model...he is so much fun to direct because he already has thousands of poses in his head...it's just a matter of fine tuning it to what I want.

Thanks Jesse...

I am very honored to work with Dana in a few portrait sessions...this our first session together. She is a club promoter here in Winnipeg and she models for import tuner magazines. It was raining that day and we had to change plans...so thanks to Bourbon's Billiard Hall for being so accommodating.

Thanks Dana...for an amazing session.

Mitch and Tracy Engagement Session

Mitch is a good friend of mine, he is one of the first people I became friends with when I immigrated here. Back in 2009 Mitch was hinting he will be getting married soon to this wonderful lady Tracy.Here are some of Mitch and Tracy's engagement photos... I would have to say it was so much fun... Thanks guys for such a fun afternoon. Looking forward to the big day on May 8, 2010.

Eva Dator

Eva is my sister...and my greatest protege. I am very proud of my sister Eva because she is an accomplished artist herself...her poems have been published nationally here in Canada. She is an amazing culinary artist...and a fine art photographer.

Her visions are really cutting edge...it's something that you would expect from someone in photography for years...but she's only been in this artform for a mere 2 years(2008-2010)...I started mentoring her 2 years after I started...making sure that I can teach her something useful...lol.

Her photographs are reminiscent of my own work but only has a different style...her quality of work sometimes rivals mine but hey I am not perfect myself and I learn with her as we do some concept sessions.

Thanks Sis for all the support.

Jean-DGZphotos Currator

Karen Jean Webster owns the largest collection of my fine art prints outside my home... She literally can start her own exhibit and would fill up a gallery space. She loves my photographs but she can be very brutal if she hates an image. She has an eye for photographs...and she is one of my proteges here in Winnipeg...and by far one that I am very proud of. She has what it takes to be a really amazing photographer...she just needs guidance in the technical side. As we work on her technical side...she can easily be an equal...her creativity is a brand on its own.

Jean as I call her, is a fun model to work with...always a fun time. We usually hang-out for pool every Saturday night but as I started people photography she shifted as one of my concept models. She became my business coach...helping me grow my business...a critic as I need one to improve my technique.

Thanks Jean for everything...and for all the support.

Heather

One of my biggest fan is probably Heather...she always admired my photographs from the day we got introduced. She always compliments me for all the "gorgeous" images I create. And I've always been thankful to her for that.

One of the biggest vote of confidence Heather has given me was to volunteer her time to get my feet wet on portraits... with her I got to practice and develop my own flavor of fine art portraits. With her I get to explore different concepts...she never yet complained about anything.

Heather is the official face of Winnipeg Artistic Fusion, my people photography site...because of the very reason that she was my first model and through her I learned to direct models/clients, with her I learned a lot about photographing people.

People always compliment me on my "orange hair" model...and I always proudly say... That's Heather.

Heather thanks for all the support... more concept sessions to come.
