Sam Pet Photography
This photograph is of "Serious Sam," a little gray and white stray that I took in when the storm, Katrina, hit where I live. At that point Katrina had lost most of its punch and the result was a lot of heavy rains. This little kitten was left out in the storm, and I discovered him soaked and crying in my backyard.

Marc Thomas Portrait
This photograph was taken of me last weekend for the new recording Studio that I am now part of called "DreamBuilderStudios" which services the Independent Film and Audio Industry.
For the past few years my photography as taken me into the field of music and films which are two great loves of mine. I am also fortunate to be involved with several companies for whom I do commercial photography and graphic art. If you want to see samples of the work I have done, take a peak at the commercial section of my website.
I would like to thank Tammi for the great work in capturing me on film, having my picture taken is not something I truly enjoy.

CD Art Cover Design: Orpheus
This is a new CD Art cover I recently completed, called Orpheus/Thermal Fusion. I originally shot the dress form and the television against a rustic background in my studio. Once I had the photograph uploaded in Photoshop I began to distress the image by adding scratches and dirt stains using several Photoshop brushes. I then added words and text to achieve the desired look I wanted.

Showcases: OneModelPlace
Today I was surprised to hear that 3 of my photos were chosen for showcase images on OneModelPlace which I've been a member of for several years. These are the first showcases I've had on OMP so it's a very pleasant surprise. Two of the showcases are with the beautiful model/singer, Kelly Abbass and the other is with Montreal's 'Scream Queen,' Isabelle Stephen. I would like to take this time to thank both Kelly and Isabelle for their talents and being so much fun to work with; without you guys I would never been able to achieve this .

Alister Vile: The Hunger from Within

What is interesting about Aleister is that he is the lead singer of a Dark Metal band called Endless Curse as well as being a painter and a graphic artist. Another cool individual that took part in this photo session is Fancee a make-up artist which I recently met at a Halloween party.

CD Art Cover Design: Black Reign
This is my latest CD Art Cover, featuring a DarkWave Band called Black Reign. The idea came from a photo session I did this past February with a model called Isabelle, an actress/model, who has been doing horror movies since 2001. I created the many layers in both Photoshop CS2 and Macromedia Fireworks 8 which are two of my favorite image editors.

Superstone: New Poster
For the past year I have been working with a rock band called "Superstone" who will soon be releasing their new CD. I wanted to do something cool that would showcase the band and give them promotional material for their new release.
I was first introduced to Superstone last summer at Lift-Off 2005, where they were the opening act for recording artist, David Wilcox. What first struck me about the band was how well they played and how good their presence was on stage.

Kelly Abbass: Persephone - Maiden Goddess
I had the pleasure of working with a new model, named Kelly, last week and it turned out to be an awesome photo shoot. This latest image is one of several sets we took that day. I love the simplicity of this image and the rich symbolism implied in the simple act of Kelly cradling a pomegranate in her palm.

Photoshop Tutorial: The Unforgiven
This is a poster that I have been working on, on and off, for the past two weeks. The original image is of a little church I saw while driving in Montreal, I often stop and take stock photographs of things that I find interesting along the way. The final image was created in Adobe Photoshop, one of the best image editors on the market today, along with a few plugins I picked up over the years.
The titles were done mostly in Macromedia Fireworks MX, then exported back to Photoshop.
