Tim North by Sean Berrigan

Popped around a few spots downtown with my boy Tim North, and our compadre Nikki BG. Locations were Ryerson Student Centre, and the Eaton Centre.

Soulection & Little Dragon by Sean Berrigan

Over the past weekend the homies from the Soulection crew were in town. As per usual, I always find myself tagging along with them and as always it's a blast. I ended up getting a text from my dude Tim North and said to meet me at the Delta Chelsea hotel downtown. I arrived with just Tim in the restaurant working on the graphics for his new single Vapours which I shot the artwork for, that will be dropping very soon. We got a text saying to head upstairs to a hotel room and when we arrive we're met by one of Soulection's executives Julio Galvez a.k.a The Whooligan and Montreal native Da-P. I was asked if I wanted to photograph Whooligan's opening act for Little Dragon at the Danforth Music Hall and obviously I said yes. We ended up at the venue later and with an all access pass, I stumbled all around the main stage and the backstage green rooms. Yukimi from Little Dragon was super cute and the rest of the band were very nice. A little later on in the night Australian super producer and photographer Ta-Ku came through and had a great conversation with him. Here are some photos from the day from start to finish.

Nightmare In The Afterhour by Sean Berrigan

It's always a blast hanging with Rashid St. James, and this occasion was no different. Nightmare In The Afterhour is a new project Rashid's been working on and soon to release. We had a meeting months ago at SoHo regarding the album and the direction he wanted to take the album aesthetically and how he envisioned the visuals and we came to a common ground. We "snuck" into an abandoned factory in the west end of Toronto and was blown away by the crazy amount of space we had available to us with 6 or 7 floors of emptiness, each with it's own look and feel. We wanted to try a bunch of different looks while we were there, some worked and some didn't but overall everything went pretty damn good. You can check out some of Rashid's music below.
