For the past 3 years in Winnipeg, there is a month-long festival for photographers called FlashPhotoFest for the full month of October. A photographer(s) is hosted at a venue to display their work for the month and viewers can tour the various shops, bars, and spaces. This year, 116 photographers showcased their work in 53 venues! The Foxy Shoppe hosted me and my work of course!
We had the opening on Oct 1, the same night as Nuit Blanche and had over 200 people come in and check out the work! Models and clients (many had their photos taken with their work) came in to see their prints on the walls as well as many people who happened to walk by and check out what was happening in the shop.
It was so busy that I didn’t make a video as I intended, plus I was exhausted from the setup, so here is a virtual showing. Warning! Some images are NSFW!
In total, there were 34 pieces added to the studio and the store (plus the many individual photos on our model wall and throughout the shop). In total 73% of the images were sold! Thank you to the clients, models, hair and makeup stylists that helped make this all possible (please check out! I absolutely must thank The Foxy Shoppe, not only as the Host Venue but in the support we’ve shared the past 3.5 years. The friendship and relationship during this time have been phenomenal. This would not have been the success it was without the lovely Lady Helen’s encouragement and work on this showing…thank you for keeping me on track! Also the printers that helped me through my deadlines have been amazing! For archival quality printing on paper or canvas, none are better thank Joelynn Fine Art and Canvas, Vantage Studios did a lot of great poster prints for me with exceptional service, thank you both!
If you’re in Winnipeg and you’d like to see the show, you still have until Oct 29 to check it out. The Foxy Shoppe is closed Oct 30 and 31 (Sunday/Monday). Hope to see you there!
