Clear Images Photography - MUA/Hairstylist Contest

This is something unique and pretty cool that you should definitely check out.


The Centre Art Gallery
Saturday, January 22 · 12:00pm - 5:00pm
Clear Images Photography
At the Alternator Art Gallery - 421 Cawston Ave.


How will it work?  Each contestant team will be either provided with, or can bring their own model of choice. The models will have had no pre-done make-up or hair done upon arrival, and the contest will begin at 1pm. Each team will have 2 hours to complete their project. At 3pm sharp, each team will have to put down all equipment and the models will begin preparation for their on-site photoshoots. A standard backdrop with lighting will be provided for equal settings for each team. A small 8-10 image shoot will quickly take place for each model. Of these images, the top 2 from each will be put together and edited for final processing to be judged. All contestants will have 1 week of hosting on www.ciphotog.com website for an open to public poll vote. We have decided to avoid any theming for this competition, as we would prefer to see each team bring their own best styles and abilities. Upon closing the votes, the winner will be displayed on the website’s homepage for an entire month, as well as receiving a portfolio photoshoot package from Clear Images Photography, a one year membership to the Alternator Art Gallery, and several gift certificates from the community.

There will be snacks and a mild lunch served, as well as a DJ, JGirl playing some of the funkiest beats around! There will also be a special wine serving from one of our guests. This event will be open to the public, and will be noted in the local papers.

Bonus: Chris will be giving out tickets to Saphires grand opening saturday night to those who come down and show support. You don't want to miss that party.

UBCO party!

Well, its Friday. That means all the students around the world get to party tonight. Sorry if you have an early morning tomorrow..

Energyplex

The Energyplex is a universal playground where parents can take and join in with their children to enjoy activities such as gymnastics, swimming, rock climbing, trampoline, fitness, dance, martial arts, and planned parties. Also, the Energyplex is not just for children. Seems that quite a few teenagers hit the Energyplex for a bit of snowboard or Parcour training. What a great place so go check it out. We will post a link to their website here as well as a few videos after the jump.
