Professional Fine Art Wedding & Portrait Photographer
Ben Hudson: Actor, Photographer, Musician, an avid CrossFitter... you name it! Ben was such a delight to photograph, I thought of sharing a few of the images I shot on a perfect, overcast day. To learn more about Ben, check out his website here.
This winter, I got to spend one of my shoots at a delightful patisserie in the Distillery District. The Sweet Escape Patisserie offers cakes for all occasions, cupcakes, (the most delicious) shortbread cookies, and lots more. It was such a fun experience getting to photograph gorgeous cakes. I want to thank Michelle, for giving me the opportunity to help expand my portfolio and explore the world of desserts through food photography!
So a new restaurant and café has emerged in Toronto. The Wind Up Bird Café (owned by Sang Kim) offers a comfort food with fresh flavours and humble service. Decorated with lovely art and filled with yummy treats at the bar (muffins and more), the café offers a unique dining experience. I have yet to eat there myself, but I got the opportunity to take photographs of their up and coming brunch menu (which I was told, will launch this March). Eat up!
I decided to take up a genre of photography that I originally thought was dull and not exciting. After my first critique in my Landscape, Site and Place class, I successfully completed the assignment and was really pleased with the outcome. Shooting out of any window just sounds so cliché. Apparently not. All images were shot on a Canon 60D with a 50mm prime lens.

I am hoping to make food look as delicious as they taste. This particular series was presented as my final portfolio of my first semester. The first image you see, was shot in Little India in downtown Toronto, where I got to experience the spicy and sweet taste of Puris. The images following were shot at the Chef's House by George Brown College. The students at the restaurant are chefs in training, who produced a wonderful lunch menu for me to photograph. Enjoy!
