This was super exciting. itravel2000 had licensed a bunch of my images for a national ad campaign. My pictures were all over the internet, magazines and, the really cool part, all over billboards. It was the first time I had one of my images published on a billboard and plastered all across Toronto. I was everywhere. lol. It was pretty neat.
Lorna Jane Magazine 2006
There's an interesting story behind this. As part of my marking initiative to get my branding for my new photography business out there I frequently posted in online forums and made friends all around the world. It just so happens that one of the contacts I made in Australia recognized my photo on the cover of Lorna Jane magazine. She snatched up a few copies and mailed them over to me which was super awesome of her. Apparently Lorna Jane used this image in a store wide champaign so that was pretty sweet. Lorna Jane is Australia's version of lululemon.
The girl on the cover was ecstatic when I told her about it. She was someone I had randomly met on a beach while traveling in Cuba. I asked her to model for me because I wanted to gain some experience. BAM! My first magazine cover. Crazy how things work out.
