A Beautiful Interacial Wedding In Montreal by Fine Art Portrait Photographer Hera Bell

In 2007 September I was booked for a multicultural wedding. She was British, he was Indian. I was looking forward to capture a beautiful wedding in Montreal.

 The double ceremony was held at the Hindu Temple Mandir . The beautiful bride changed 3 times during the ceremony. Everyone was so stressed. But I managed to capture the core love that this bride and groom had towards each other.

 After the ceremony we moved to do some more photography at Stweart Hall In Pointe Claire  , Then to the reception at the end Karma restaurant which is now closed.

 Beautiful, colorful rich in culture... Here are few shots to give you an idea.













PS: I  accept new wedding contracts ONLY by referral and through few top wedding planners in Montreal. Weddings were never my main bread and butter in the photography business. I am a portrait photographer.

Monster Gym Shooting On Location by Montreal Fitness Portrait Photographer Hera Bell


July 2010... I was booked with a photo session on location at Monster Gym.

 
A young couple and their friend wanted to get photographed after Will's body building competition.
 
It was going to be an on location session where there are gym lights weights and lots of people. I said to myself I could find a uncluttered wall, I could turn it into a mini studio. I brought my studio strobe. I think I used one flash only. This is my favorite shot from that day.



PS: And yes they were tanned.
 


 They got married last year. And I was hired by Sandy to do a glamour make-over portrait session to be given to Will at their wedding night.
 
I wish them all the happiness.

WORDS... by Montreal Fine Art Portrait Photographer Hera Bell

WORDS...

Do Not Believe Everything You Hear.
But before you speak, watch what you say.
Because once the owner of your words you can became its slave if you talk.

Valentines Love And Sexy Dreams by Montreal Fine Art Nude Portrait Photographer Hera Bell

 
Hold me tight. Never let me go.

Sometimes it is sexier to capture only a detail from the entire picture. It creates curiosity in the viewers mind as their visual stimulus wants to see more.

Photographing Katerina Gantcheva by Montreal's Fine Art Glamour Bludoir Portrait Photographer Hera Bell

I have met and photographed Katerina when she was 19 years old. Then she went to Milan and hit the runways there as a model. That day I had done her make up, hair and the styling as well. It was a basic model portfolio session.










We tried to keep in touch throughout the years.

She is now in her late 20's, a very smart gal, mother of two very beautiful boys.

She has returned to my studio this week Tuesday. 9 years later.



Let me show you what I can create in one room, with one subject, with few meters of fabrics and some silk flowers.

I hope you will enjoy this audiovisual from our session.

Voila let me present you beautiful Katerina Gantcheva.

I Hug 2013 Goodbye... by Montreal portrait photographer Hera Bell

"A hug is like a boomerang - you get it back right away."
by Bil Keane
A hug can heal all wounds. It can scream out loud without any words all the silent love you have towards someone. A hug is electrifying.

Stop a minute and give a hug to someone today, the last day of 2013.
With this act you will give something which can't be purchased in a store and it has high value which can't be measured by monetary means.
I now hug goodbye 2013 and let it go.

Inspired by Man Ray.. My Way... by Montreal fine art portrait photographer Hera Bell

We all get inspired as artists.

"Eve's Apple" is a limited edition printed on brushed metal print. It was exhibited and later on sold at Centaur's Seagram Art Gallery in 2012.



You can see the audio visual which was a part of the exhibit press release gives glimpses from this heavily mediatized exhibit by clicking on this text.


Inspired  by Man Ray's legendary photo. However my way... The person in this image  was a client. A leading scientist on microbes.

That day I applied black eye liner on her body. It was shot with film. Later on I added the apple digitally.

Holiday Season 2013 by Montreal Photographer Hera Bell


Time flies by.
Another year has come to an end.
I am thankful to God,
For giving me life,
An amazing husband,
A loving supportive family,
And true friends that I can count on.

Past will always become a past,
Today is today, which we should embrace
And future is unknown, yet we should look forward to.

Happy Holidays to everyone who visit my blog.
Near and far.

May your heart be filled with joy instead of anger.
May your pathway be bright and open.

PS: Eastern Townships Quebec at a snowy day.



The frost below was photographed with my Android cell phone from my parent's window. Then turned into an animated gif.
