Recent trip to Ontario

Recent trip to Ontario

By Ali Salem on July 21, 2010

Photos from a recent trip to Ontario city that was arranged by my university Concordia. I didn’t have the luxury though to wonder around the city’s streets and explore it.

Laura G – A Portrait Session at Jean Drapeau

Laura G – A Portrait Session at Jean Drapeau

By Ali Salem on July 6, 2010

Not long ago I planned to have my next portrait session at the delightful Parc Jean Drapeau, and my nice friend Laura was kind enough to help make that happen. I was challenged by the fact of trying out fresh ideas for this session, but it all went well with Laura’s flexibility, and quick adaptability [...]

Parc Jean-Drapeau

Parc Jean-Drapeau

By Ali Salem on July 1, 2010

Parc Jean Drapeua, with a forward long extension of the lips when you say the “eu”, is a nice park that I planned to visit again after the first time I went there. I may be using the location soon for some portrait photography as well.

Smoke Photography – Beta Version

Smoke Photography – Beta Version

By Ali Salem on June 4, 2010

With alluring images of ghostly wisps of smoke, and a lot of patience, one sometimes doesn’t have to look very far to explore such hidden beauty. Now although some of these images may stand incompetent in comparison to some of what’s out there already (yes I like to provoke myself), I think I still deserve [...]

Photographing Water Splashes – Part I

Photographing Water Splashes – Part I

By Ali Salem on May 2, 2010

Not long after purchasing my DSLR Canon 400D camera, one of the first things I wanted to experiment with was water splashes. It’s been 4 years, damn! Anyways, since I don’t have access to staged studio lighting, I made use of my Canon 580EX II to provide the source of white light to satisfy my [...]

Opinions from the Old Port, Montreal

Opinions from the Old Port, Montreal

By Ali Salem on April 4, 2010

With the temperature rising to 25 Celsius in Montreal this weekend, people found no excuse but to switch to summer mode and take advantage of it. I undoubtedly shared that advantage myself too by visiting the crowded area of the old port today to try and snap some perspectives, or opinions as i am calling it [...]

Nowruz day celebration at Concordia

Nowruz day celebration at Concordia

By Ali Salem on March 22, 2010

Featured at Hafteh.ca magazine (pages 17,18) This weekend I rushed down to a 3,000 years-old Nowruz (new-day) celebration party arranged by the Iranian club at Concordia. Nowruz marks the first day of spring and the beginning of a new Persian year, and it is annually celebrated and observed by Iranian people and the related cultural continent.

Late Afternoon Scapes from Montreal

Late Afternoon Scapes from Montreal

By Ali Salem on February 20, 2010

Given the fact that I did not become a big fan of HDR photos, this time I tried to use a different technique to fuse multiple exposures to overcome the digital sensor’s short dynamic range. It appears that the result is fairly a natural one compared to one image with a balanced exposure.

Quebec City, and the Ice Hotel

Quebec City, and the Ice Hotel

By Ali Salem on February 15, 2010

Few days ago I went on a University-planned trip to Quebec city, the capital of the Canadian province of Quebec. Besides travelling to a colder city than Montreal, I believe we spent more time riding the bus than touring around the city on feet. Montmorency “frozen” Falls. Quebec City. One German dude pretending he can [...]

About Ali Salem

My story is quick and simple. I occasionally carry my DSLR around and try to take photos that can share a story, a moment, a memory, or simply bits and pieces of my life.

So sit back, have a browse and hopefully you'll find something you like. Feel obliged to comment while you are it too.

Enjoy!

Ali
