Behind the scenes iPhone snaps ~ Kenton Mag Photoshoot Featuring Drew Nelson of The Strain

Had a really fun time shooting this feature with Kenton Magazine! It was a hot summer day with clear skies so all the shots were captured with natural sunlight via hotel ocho’s bright & airy industrial space.

I was in charge of grooming Drew Nelson, who is one of the lead actors in Guillermo del Toro’s new drama series ‘The Strain’ on FX Canada.

It's always nice collaborating with kind spirited people and both talent & crew were in the same boat. Drew Nelson stars as Matt Sayles and although he confesses to getting more villainous roles over the years, he’s actually a humble and down to earth person in reality.

Another common thread in the group that day was everyone’s love for 90’s hip hop! It’s not a common genre played on set so it was a nice change of pace listening to nostalgic hip hop faves :).

Talya Macedo, Kenton’s Fashion Editor, did a stand out job putting together tailored patterned pieces with flattering colour combos + the casual options in between were a perfect blend of comfort & luxury!
