I was recently interviewed by Jenn Gregory for her Photog Friday blog. Some of the questions made me think quite a bit… I think it was good practice for the upcoming Eastlink TV show I’ll be co-hosting soon. Read the entire interview at Jenn’s blog site, here: http://jenngregoryphotography.blogspot.ca/2012/04/fotog-fridays-mike-mccarthy.html I’d love to hear any comments you might …
I was invited to attend and photograph the 2012 NSMBHL Provincial Championship series at the brand new Queen’s Place in Liverpool this week.

The latest in my series of body painting shoot was based on an Anime concept by Angela O’Neill Whiteley of Angie’s Breathing Canvas. Angela spent nearly 7 hours painting the outfit and the detail is absolutely incredible. I still feel bad for poor Kyla as the heat conked out and she stood there for the …

Although Ashley was feeling under the weather, she was a trooper and performed wonderfully, even after accidentally inhaling one of the little …
I recently shot a classic pin-up style set with Catherine Richardson (MM # 738491) What a delight to work with. Catherine was full of energy and a sheer professional and I hope to work with her again on some future project. The shoot was a portfolio job to help out up-and-coming new MUA Rebecca Mercer …

These are the latest photomanipulations from a recent shoot featuring Katelyn Cherwonick and make-up by Rebecca Mercer. The shoot was assisted by my friend Charles Plant and my son Eric. The first image was shot in front of a crudely constructed – sorry Charlie… – 2×4 frame which was covered in black paper and placed …
