Which moment changed your life?

The moment I bought my first DSLR camera completely changed my life. 

I started taking it with me whenever I went out and found myself exploring new places more often. Even when I’m just walking through the same streets I usually do, I pay attention to how the light hits everything around me.

It makes my daily life feel like I’m always on a little adventure. Since I got into photography,

life has become so much more enjoyable.

Since I took that shot “After Work”, I’ve been obsessed with chasing light and shadows around Toronto.

These days, I mainly focus on capturing light and shadow in the city. I find it fascinating how the city looks completely different depending on the time of day and how the light falls. I’ve especially become obsessed with capturing beautiful shadows.

I really enjoy searching for and photographing the unique expressions of the city that are created by light and shadow. That’s what keeps me inspired to keep shooting.

In addition to street photography, I also shoot portraits. I work on a variety of sessions, including family photos, headshots, couple shoots, weddings, and events. I’ve always loved connecting with people, so portrait photography gives me the chance to meet new faces and share meaningful moments. It’s something I really enjoy.

Seeing people leave with a smile after a shoot gives me even more motivation. I’m truly grateful to be able to connect with so many different people through photography.

I love shooting street and portrait photos around Toronto. I hope my photos help people discover the city’s cool vibe and see its beauty in everyday life.
