Like many people I have spoken to in Toronto, I found my dentist through Opencare, a company that offers rewards for clients signing up to local dentists, doctors, etc. I think I got a $50 Visa Gift Card when I signed up for mine. The dentists paid a fee to Opencare who also work with companies for the rewards, and Opencare adds them to their roster of supported local companies.
One of my first corporate headshot clients got back to me recently and asked if I could do their updated photos for their law firm based in downtown Toronto. I originally shot their staff a few years ago and now with a new staff and new location, they wanted to get updated headshots as well as some lifestyle, casual shots for use on their website.
I have been slacking a lot on posting about my photography jobs so I thought I would try and get back to it. I think my last post was in May, 2019 and I have done a lot of travelling and working since then that I would like to share.
I had never had any interest in being a wedding photographer. The time spent planning, on site and editing didn’t seem worth it to me. Most of my shoots are half days and only require several photos and not much editing. Also the pressure of coming up with photographs that will do the significance of the day justice I saw as an added stress.
I have always been interested in shooting Still Photography and Behind the Scenes photography for films. Many of the still frames you see from films are actually shot by photographers on set and not taken from the film. The job entails shooting, quietly, while the film is being shot as well as in between filming scenes. Photographs are of the scenes being filmed as well as behind the scenes shots of the set, the cast and the crew.
I photographed a small space in Toronto where Interior Photographs were needed for the downtown condo that had been recently decorated by spacesbyjacflash. I often work with Jaclyn Genovese and her team who work on everything from condos to full homes and even office space.
As a Toronto real estate photographer and interior photographer I get to see a lot of really cool places in the city. From condos to houses and offices, Toronto has some unique spaces and I love to shoot them.
In autumn 2018, I embarked on a strangely old-fashion photography assignment to shoot women perched atop industrial equipment for Masterlift Forklift 2019 print calendar.
Blue Goose Pure Foods is a company that distinguishes itself from others by farming premium organic and antibiotic free proteins, proudly raised in Canada. They often hold events around the city to help showcase some of their newest products. At one of their dinners recently, I was brought on as their event photographer and got to see what they are like behind the scenes.
