Happy Holidays from Brilliant Images!

Another year has passed and we’re looking forward to lots of new and exciting things happening!
We’re in the final stages of the book design (Yes, the book that has been years in the making) and it will be available for purchase soon.
I’ll also be showcasing some of my fine art at the St.Mary’s Station Gallery later on in 2023 and you bet you’ll be able to find copies of the art book there.

Lastly, Brilliant Images has found a new home and will have a permanent studio space for the next 2 years! (More on that later)
Exciting times!


I’ve been creating more pieces and have been getting better at documenting the journey we take as the art comes to life. Creative shoots are a great way for photographers and models to keep up their passion for their work. The process of creating unique and dynamic images with whatever comes to mind can break creatives out of a mold and into a brain-splosion of love for their craft. Whether it's for a personal project, a portfolio piece, or a client's brief, a creative shoot allows both parties to push the boundaries and try out new ideas.

Below are 2 newest Holiday Themed pieces:

“The Minty Monarch” By Maaike Roosendaal

This Minty Monarch is depicted in all her glory, with a crown of peppermints and candy canes adorning her head on top of her flowing silver hair. The use of contrasting, minty colours gives this piece a punch of invigoration, while the intricate detailing of the swirls and glossy pearls adds a touch of glamour that is slowly taking over her normality. This art piece is the perfect blend of soft meets edgy and is sure to keep you staring.

"The Shadowed Beauty of Mother Nature" By Maaike Roosendaal

The shadowed beauty of mother nature is a mysterious and intriguing art piece that delves into the shadows of the natural world. This piece portrays Mother Nature in a new and unexpected light, showcasing the darker, more mysterious aspects of the world around us yet bringing to light the importance of treating nature like “royalty” in today’s age. The use of deep, rich colours and shadowy compositions creates a sense of mystery and intrigue, inviting viewers to delve deeper into the art and explore the hidden corners of Mother Nature. Whether you are a fan of the darker side of nature or simply drawn to the mysterious and unexpected, "The Shadowed Beauty of Mother Nature" is sure to captivate and speak volumes.

Behind The Scenes

Behind the scenes is an integral part of any creative process, and it is often where the magic happens. Whether it's a photoshoot, a film production, or a live event, the work that goes on behind the scenes is essential to the final product. From planning and organization to logistics and execution, the behind-the-scenes footage and details are essential to educate and inform others aspiring to do the same.
