I Know What I Did Last Summer | Toronto Photographer

May 28, 2014 by Ardean Peters

I photographed a lot of awesome people. I had access to an awesome studio space last summer. Awesome because it had great natural light. You know I love light! And I learned how to use in that space. Every space is different. How the light enters, bounces, refracts, falls off. I loved that with this light I was able to create such pretty and clean images which have become my hallmark now. And which totally suit my subjects, who are […]

That time we ate Apricots | Toronto Photographer

May 13, 2014 by Ardean Peters

Don’t feel like reading? Click the link at the bottom of this post to hear me talk all good and stuff Larissa Benfey (click) , Actress, Model, lover of dried apricots! Yes, we did find out that fact, during this particular photo-shoot, when I broke out some snacks, including dried apricots. So this shoot we did earlier this year. I had so much fun with Larissa. She was totally amazing, just non-stop fun and laughter. So easy going! I don’t […]

That time I obviously thought that closing my eyes in pictures was the ‘in’ thing, along with the awesome self-cropped jean jacket. Ya, I got loads of style. 🙂

Cute kid, White Seamless and a Photographer | Toronto Photographer

May 7, 2014 by Ardean Peters

So this cutie-patooty is Noah. I did this shoot earlier in the year, with him and his parents, obviously. So he is a young model in the Toronto area and they were looking for some new photos. I have to say it was a lot of fun working with a little kid versus an adult. I mean, I do have lot’s of fun working with adults. Actually, I think I become the little kid when working with other adults. 🙂 […]

“The easiest way to predict your future is to create it…”

May 3, 2014 by Ardean Peters

(If you want to hear this post, click the link at the bottom) So that quote is from a book I’m reading called, “Everyday Excellence” and it is authored by a local Torontonian and Poet, by the name of Dwayne Morgan. The full quote is, “The easiest way to predict your future is to create, and the only way to create it is to dream big dreams.” So I’m reading this book. I’ve actually had it for a long time. […]

#throwbackthursday

May 1, 2014 by Ardean Peters

4 years ago, I shot this with Dana, on a street just north of Queen St. off Mc.Caul. I can never remember the name of that street. If you’re in Toronto, you know the street. It’s got that parking lot you know, that if you don’t get a spot in the close lot, right on Queen street across from the Gap, you gotta walk all the way over there. Well this was the 1st time I photographed her. The 2nd […]
