Mike Guilbault Photography

Thought of a great title for this image - "Down, but not out!" Looks like this tree came down quite awhile ago, but it's still alive and sprouting some greenery. The story of the title is more apparent in the colour version, but I really like the B&W version. What do you think? Make sure you click on the photos to view the full un-cropped version. #BW #bwphotography #LittleLakePark #midlandontario #XPro2

Captured during the Penetanguishene Photo Walk last September (2020). This Bentley was parked "downtown" Penetang. If I wanted to work on it, I'd get rid of the poles and wires, but this is basically SOOC (straight out of camera).

"Swells & Stones" Looking through my library to see what I shot at about this time of year in the past and came across this image shot within a few days of today's anniversary. The lights in the background are from Christian Island and the wave action that evening was quite spectacular. #GeorgianBay #Tinybeaches #TinyTownship #sunset #captureonepro #nikond800e #copyright Photographed with the Nikon D800e...

I was originally going out to photograph in B&W, but this image screamed colour. I love the warm vs cool tones and the boardwalk made the composition. #fujifilm #xpro2 #xpro #captureonepro #tinybeaches #ontariocanada Fujifilm X-Pro 2 XF 16-55mm f/2.8 @18mm ISO 100, 1/1000s, f/8, Manual...

One of the results from taking advantage of the Georgian Bay shoreline.

Photographed during the Penetanguishene PhotoWalk on Saturday. Nice of this Bentley to pose for us! Not the best background, but I still like it. #bentley #antiquecars #bw #blackandwhite #mikeguilbaultphotography #x100t #fujifilmx100t

For those coming on the PENETANGUISHENE PhotoWalk tomorrow morning... we were meeting beside the Georgian Queen... but maybe well meet by the Harbour Office/Tourist Info building instead.

Went on a canoe trip a few years ago on the French River, led by the intrepid @paddle_in_marty and accompanied by @celsomollophotography. Fabulous 3 days including two nights of photographing the #MilkyWay. This multi-image vertical panoramic stitch is one of my favourites. #frenchriver #frenchriverprovincialpark #milkyway #milky_way #landscape #nightphotography #landscapephotography #mikeguilbaultphotography

Same dining room as the previous post but now much brighter with the a full view through the windows and Kempenfelt Bay off in the distance. Again, the splash of colour from the flower arrangement draws the eye into the feature of the image. Although I typically try for a clean white light, I left the dining room light fixture with a bit of warmth to contrast the cold view outside. #interiors #interiordesign #interiordecorating #diningroom #dininginstyle #roomwithaview #windows #windowstyle #splashofcolour #mikeguilbaultphotography #barriephotographer

I used a splash of colour from the flower arrangement to draw the viewer past the subtle neutral tones and dark floor of the living room and into the dining room overlooking a view of snow covered Kempenfelt Bay in the distance. #interiors #interiordesign #diningroom #interiordecorating #interiordesigner #dininginstyle #architecture #architecturalphotography #mikeguilbaultphotography #barriephotographer #barrieontario

Remember I mentioned that I liked curved #staircases? Sometimes the elements come together to create a more artistic, rather than documentary, style of image. Of course, #BlackandWhite is also a favourite of mine. The light fixture and artwork on the wall provide a nice balance to the composition. #BW #stairdesign #interiors #interiordesign #interiordesigners #staircase #curvedstaircase #artisticdesign #mikeguilbaultphotography

Sometimes its the little details that make the biggest impact. Like the clever use of extra space between the shower and wall and then the idea to roll towels as functional decor. Very effective for this guest bathroom. #interiors #interiordesign #interiordesigners #canadiandesigners #interiordecorating #interiordecorators #bathroom #bathroomdesign #showerdesign #showers #greatbathrooms #bathroominspo #mikeguilbaultphotography #livinginbarrie #barrieontario #barriephotographer

What do you think about this painting over the bench at the entrance to this home? I think its awesome! #cows #interiordesign #interiordecorating #interiors #focalpoint #customdecor #paintingofcows #mikeguilbaultphotography #fortheloveofcows

I especially like the dark cabinets combined with the natural wood. Allows other colour accents, like the red tea kettle, to pop! #interiors #kitchens #kitchendesign #interiordesign #interiordesigner #kitchendesigner #architecture #kitchencabinets #lightfixtures #contrast #mikeguilbaultphotography #midlandphotographer

Love this kitchen! Photographed for Method Contracting in the hills of Clearview near Duntroon, Ontario. Same house as the dog in the previous post!

"Do Not Disturb" In other words... "Let sleeping dogs lie." Didnt give two hoots about the strange guy with all the equipment intruding into his home. More interested in his afternoon nap. #interiors #dognotincluded #interiordesign #dogbed #dogsathome #mikeguilbaultphotography #nottawasaga

Sometimes a photograph is needed to do more than just document a location; sometimes its needed to evoke a feeling, to stir the soul and stimulate the mind. #interiors #windowbench #readingbench #tranquility #interiordesign #interiordesigner #readingnook #quiettime #mikeguilbaultphotography #collingwoodphotographer

Im being watched... (zoom in to see). Love this gorgeous bench below the footboard of this elegant bed. #interiors #bedrooms #bedroomideas #interiordesign #interiordecorating #dognotincluded #mikeguilbaultphotography #thebluemountains #thornbury #collingwoodphotographer

One of the challenges of photographing #onlocation is locating the best background for any particular subject. Who doesnt love to warm up in front of a fire with a glass of wine? Photographed for Taboo Resort, Gravenhurst (Muskoka), Ontario - their own label. #taboomuskoka #tabooresort #productphotography #wine #privatelabel #resortphotography #hotelresort #liesurelife #lifeofluxury #muskoka #muskokaresort #muskokalife #relax #mikeguilbaultphotography

"Fog in the Forest, III" From a technique I learned many years ago shooting film. Most often, its not very effective, but this time, the elements lined up to create this image. The second image is how it might look on a wall. Versions I and II are vertical compositions. I often envision this one in the middle with the other two mounted on either side, to fill a large long wall.

#barndoors leading into the #ensuitebath from the #masterbedroom. Theres something about #naturalwood that makes a house a home. #interiors #interiordesign #interiordesigners #bedrooms #naturalwood #rusticdecor #mikeguilbaultphotography #collingwoodphotographer #customhome #designedbydesigners

I can see these chairs, 20 years from now, worn from family sitting around the dining room table which has its own nicks, scuffs and maybe even initials engraved in it.

Stair detail from an interior photo-shoot. I absolutely love the combination of dark and light wood. #staircase #staircasedesign #interiordesign #interiors #architecture #mikeguilbaultphotography

Photographed in Clarksburg, Ontario (Blue Mountains) for magazine feature. 2nd photo is panorama of the front entrance. While photographing the interior, I came across a wall of family portraits. I instantly recognized the "centre piece" - a large wall portrait of the family, that I photographed about 15 years earlier in Barrie! How cool is that!? #architecture #exterior #residentialexterior #residentialarchitecture #landscaping #realestate #architecturalphotography #clarksburgontario #bluemountains #mikeguilbaultphotography

Photographed for Cyndie Jerome Design Inc., Innisfil, Ontario. A very unique home and a pleasure to photograph. The second photo shows a better view of the bench seating at the dining room table. #interiors #interiordesign #interiordesigner #interiordecorator #cyndiejeromedesign #diningroom #luxuryliving #innisfilontario #centralontario #realestate #decor #mikeguilbaultphotography

In addition to photographing #interiors, I also enjoy photographing "detail shots", or as I like to call them, vignettes of the #interiordecorating These were also photographed for Habitat Interiors in Thornbury. #interiors #interiordecorators #luxuryliving #thornburyontario #thornbury #collingwoodontario #mikeguilbaultphotography

Whos the face of your business? How do you personalize a "brick & mortar" business? What image do you project? How do you make that personal connection with your customers? Through creative portraiture, of course! ;) Did you see that coming? ...

"Wind Through The Forest" Sometimes a straight shot doesnt convey what you see in a composition. Fortunately, an artist isnt restricted to conventional methods of expression. It was quite windy this day but the trees barely moved, so this is my interpretation. #mikeguilbaultphotography #icm #fujifilmx100t #x100t #fujix #fineartphotography #landscapephotography #tinytownship #impressionist #impressionistart #impressionistphotography #impressionisticphotography

Theres nothing like a real fireplace to add warmth and comfort to a home.

I pass this scene several times a month and finally pulled over to photograph it today. I miss shooting with square negatives, so decided to shoot square today. The greens in this scene were beautiful, but this image screamed Black & White! #bw #blackandwhite #bandw #fineartphotography #grayscale #cedars #wallart #photodecor #creditcreatives #mikeguilbaultphotography #fineartprint #printworthy #signatureworthy #fujixshooter #blackandwhiteprint #tinyontario #centralontario #X100t #fujifilmx100t

Sometimes when shooting #onassignment, you find other images that stimulates your mind. This is one of those. I can see this image hanging on a wall. What do you think? #fineartphotography #tulips #yellowtulips #flowers #mikeguilbaultphotography #creditcreatives #yellow #onlocation
