Jayson | DiscoBalls

Full confession, I am a wee bit obsessed with pretty light. Whether it be well crafted studio light, mood lighting in my living room, dappled light in the forest or light reflecting off a building, it is guaranteed to make my heart sing. So, as this creative started taking shape, a clear theme came through: Reflective Light. Each part of this shoot was influenced by reflective materials and what better way to wrap up this shoot than with…drumroll please… DISCO BALLS!!!

I spent $100 on a range of disco balls and it was well worth the investment because this shot became a contender for my fave of the day. There’s so much to love, the light dancing around the scene, Jayson’s perfect characterization of a greasy disco ball dealer and possibly my proudest accomplishment, the disco ball bow tie. We all had so much fun building the disco ball pile, crafting the light and perfecting the pose that I felt like I did when I first picked up a camera.

Once we nailed the shot, we were blessed with such beautiful sunshine in the studio. Jayson switched wardrobe one last time and with the help of a piece of reflective mylar on the floor, we spent 10 minutes wrapping up an incredible day of exploration and creating for the sake of creating.

With the rise of AI and so many people choosing to skip the entire process, it is days like this that remind me why I love what I do. Yes, I love having these images in my portfolio but the absolute best part of it all IS the trial & error, the laughs had along the way and the sense of community you feel when everyone comes together for one goal in mind.

I am so proud of this shoot and forever grateful to have the memories. Chef Boi you are a legend and I’m so stoked to have collabed with you on this. Your future is bright my friend and I appreciate the trust and energy you brought to this shoot!

This was such a busy day and it wouldn’t have been possible without VAN support and good vibes. I also have to thank my good pal chrisrobinsonphoto once again for the encouragement and his lovely studio.

One last word, F**k AI! Take your own photos and embrace the many mistakes along the way. Xo

Jayson | Catchlights

I am a sucker for a good catchlight. Having worked on a 1000+ photoshoots over the years, I am always on the hunt for a lil sparkle in the eye. Sometimes it happens naturally and sometimes you gotta fabricate it with some bounce. However, it can be tricky to create a nice looking catchlight while maintaining the mood and quality of light on the face, so when Chef Boi and I got together for this creative, I knew I had to squeeze in this idea.

The concept was simple: create a little black wall behind camera, attach a bunch of pieces of reflective mylar to the solid fabric along with some Lightbridge panels under the camera. Blast a strobe light into said wall of shiny bits, add a hair light using another light bridge panel and play around.. With every slight adjustment of the strobe came a completely different quality of light and catchlights. My goal was to have the eyes really shine while keeping the overall light on the face minimal. Every version was beautiful in its own right but I was so jazzed when we found that perfect placement of light.

This was a super rough version of this idea but I’m stoked on how it turned out and I can’t wait to do it again but bigger!!!

As always, mad love to Jayson for being such a wonderful collaborator, I couldn’t have picked a better friend to test these ideas out on, you crushed it bud.

Big thanks to VAN for the assist, chrisrobinsonphoto for letting me take over your studio and Zachary Koski for lending me your lightbridge panels 😘

Jayson | Mirrors

One of the greatest feelings as a photographer is seeing an idea through to the end. We all fall victim to procrastination and self doubt from time to time, but every now and then an idea will scratch and claw begging to be fully realized… This leading image right here is one of those ideas that kept gnawing away at me: Mirrors attached to c-stands throughout the frame, light travelling from one to the next, eventually illuminating the subject.

In theory, the idea would work, but the only way to know for sure was to test it and luckily one of my best pals, chrisrobinsonphoto was kindenough to lend me his space and face to test it (final frame). Chris has always been an inspiration for me as whenever he has an idea in his head, he brings it to life. “Just set a date and go from there” was his advice so that’s what I did.

The only missing piece now was a subject and that’s where Chef Boi came in to the fold. Having been buddies with his brother Jerick Anyo for years, when I met Jayson on a Nikki Ormerod set a few summers back, we vibed instantly. We chatted about shooting a creative and when he told me he was moving to NYC cause he landed a role in the Magic Mike Live Show (congrats bud!), the time was now to make this shoot happen!

Jayson is a an absolute pro! While he is well known for his break dancing skills, his modelling and acting chops have really taken off. He was so patient, confident and trusting in my vision and although it was a long day of exploration, his energy was always high. I’m so grateful we made this happen and I’m so proud of the work we created together, you rock Jayson.

Massive shoutout to VAN for the assist that day and bringing your enthusiasm, you were a huge help my friend! Album EQ for the grip and of course chrisrobinsonphoto for lending me your space to create.

Courtney at 34 weeks 🥰

This all feels so familiar... Mat leave has begun, our bedroom is a baby ready haven and after many months of indecision, we have a name locked in. While Courtney struggles to find a comfy position and I do my best to make sure water/snacks are by her side, we are both relishing in the “quiet” times with our boy Leo before he becomes a big brother.

In honour of this journey, we went to one of our favourite places in Toronto and took a few snaps before Leo decided he wanted to go for a run…These photos are so important to me because capturing this moment in time is a way to celebrate my wife and all of the sacrifices she has endured to build our family. Pregnancy takes such a physical & mental toll on the body and witnessing first hand the nausea, pain, stress and exhaustion fills my heart with gratitude and respect.

Courtney Coish , I’m so proud of you and I cannot wait to meet our lil one.

To all of the mothers out there, I am in awe of you all!

Bondi Produce & Specialty Foods | The Offerings

We are wrapping up this Bondi collab with the most ambitious shot of the day and my personal fave!

This in-camera display (final slide for proof) was a real practice in trusting the process and going with the flow. We had a general plan in mind but until we started taking some frames, we had no clue what would work. After plenty of trial & error, the image started to take shape. It was a massive team effort and I am super proud of how this came together! It is a true celebration of all that Bondi has to offer!

I’m delighted to mention that the leading image also won an photo award this year.

Big shoutout to for the studio space, for your beautiful backdrops, for your mad food styling skills and for your hard work and good energy. Last but not least, for the collaboration and always informing me on what produce is in season.

In this set of images, we wanted to keep it simple and focus on the textures and vibrant colours of the fruit & veg that Bondi offers. When you have produce this beautiful, you just need to add a little light and let the food speak for itself.

It was a very serene evening of chill tunes, finding interesting shapes and playing around with light.

Shoutout to for sticking around and helping me with the Mafalde and a few others. And a big shoutout to for the studio space.

I am also thrilled to announce that this series won an award this year! 🎉

1. Romanesco
2. Dragon Fruit
3. Honeycomb
4. Radicchio
5. Blood Orange
6. Chestnut Mushrooms
7. Purple Potato
8. Mafalde Pasta
9. Savoy Cabbage

Stay tuned for more!

Bondi Produce & Specialty Foods | Crate Stack

If you live in Southern Ontario, chances are you’ve seen a Bondi truck out on delivery over the years or if you go out to a restaurant in Toronto, the produce the Chef is cooking with, yup, there’s a good chance it came from Bondi.

This family owned and operated business has been one of Ontario’s leading produce wholesalers for decades but it all started with a simple trip to the Ontario Food Terminal 50 years ago. The founder, Ignazio Bondi had recently immigrated to Canada and while trying to find his footing, he decided (with encouragement from his wife) to pack up his truck with some fruit and vegetables and start knocking on the doors of restaurants in Toronto. With no previous experience in produce, just a ton of ambition, he paved the path that has led his family to celebrating 50 years in business this year!

In honour of such an incredible milestone, I partnered up with Bondi to create images that celebrate all of the beautiful and delicious offerings they provide to thousands of businesses.

This photo shoot was particularly special for me as I was able to collaborate with my brilliant wife, Courtney who is the Marketing Manager at Bondi. We have long wanted to work together on a photoshoot, so it was truly magical to combine our skills and ideas for Bondi…

The idea that started it all was the leading image, “The Crate Stack”. These iconic forest green crates are essential to the business, so, it only seemed fitting to showcase them along with the produce it often holds.

The first challenge was getting these crates stacked in a way that was visually interesting and yet stable, so with the help of a few C-stands and wire, we were able to keep the crates in place as the produce weighed it down. That’s when the uber talented came in to style the crates with a bunch of produce. While Courtney and Haley worked away on styling each crate, and I worked on lighting the scene. It took a few hours of hard work and patience, but we got the shot we set out to capture and I’m super proud of everyone who helped bring this to life!

Stay tuned for more!

Wednesday | Crow

Crows are one of the most fascinating birds and here’s a few reason why…

They are highly intelligent birds that have been documented using tools and solving complex puzzles.

They gather around the dead similar to funerals.

They remember human faces and can hold grudges, so whatever you do, don’t p**s off a crow!

Crows can mimic the sounds of other animals and have their own dialect.

—————————

This was Wednesday’s first time on set and I did my absolute best to stay in her good books, I don’t want no crow grudges! We made sure to be gentle with our approach and not be too quick with our movements or too loud to keep her photoshoot experience pleasant. Luckily, she was very calm was super helpful to capture a bunch of angles
It was a dream being in her presence.

Stickers | Red Tailed Hawk

Jordan and I have teamed up once again to create a new set of images for Toronto Animal Wranglers latest additions: The 2026 Roster.

Over the course of two days, we captured 19 dogs, 3 cats, 1 Crow & 1 Red Tailed Hawk.

There is something so magical about being in the presence of a Red Tailed Hawk and Stickers is no exception. This 7 year old male is one of the most beautiful birds I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing. His stillness and constant surveilling of his surroundings left me awestruck. While the photographer in me was so excited when he entered the studio, the bird lover really took over and I was more interested in just observing him and learning more about him.

It was such a special moment time with Stickers in front of my camera and I’m so grateful to have these captures to remind me of him years down the road.

P.S. Sorry for the hawk p**p that made it onto one of your backdrops.

Melody, Betty & Gretel | Jack Russell, Poodle & Siberian

Jordan and I have teamed up once again to create a new set of images for Toronto Animal Wranglers latest additions: The 2026 Roster.

Over the course of two days, we captured 19 dogs, 3 cats, 1 Crow & 1 Red Tailed Hawk.

These three beauties are the final dogs & cats (birds to come!) to show off from the 2026 roster shoot and I can’t think of a better way to wrap up than with this set of images.

First off, Melody is an absolute dream dog. This adorable 1.5 year old Jack Russell is one of Jordan’s personal dogs that was meant for the bright lights! She is soooo cute, attentive and athletic. It felt like every photo that came through, there was a chorus of “awwwwww”’s behind me.
Then we have Betty. The grand-daughter of the beautiful Georgette. This was special as It was the first time I’ve photographed multiple generations in the same family (5 years apart).. Sadly, Georgette passed away around the time of this shoot but her presence is forever felt with the likes of Betty. The photos of Betty are some of my faves as it was one of the moments where everything came together. I was getting tired of the brown background and Betty deserved something new, so we grabbed the pink fabric that I scored from Ontario Fashion Textiles on St Clair. Rigged it up with some C-stands, added a spotlight and then we threw in the plinths to add something extra. Betty was so confident standing on those and struck the pose so well that we had the shot within a minute! Thank you .acting.crew for allowing me to capture your beautiful doggos .

Lastly, we have Gretel, the fluffy, whisker covered cutie owned by . This 3 year old Siberian cat was my favorite cat to come through this time around. She was perfect for the brown backdrop as it complimented her endless hues of brown in her fur. She was so calm, focused and simply adorable. Loved every moment with her in front of my lens.
