Solo Light | Toronto Light Photographer

January 7, 2016 by Ardean Peters

These images are all captured within a span of 1/2 hour between 1:30 and 2:00pm, April 2015. The light is what is considered ‘harsh’: high in the sky, un-filtered, bright, contrasty. Not the best light if I was to directly shoot portraits in it, but I was experimenting with ‘seeing’ the light and found that in a black and white format, the ‘contrast’ was lovely, showing the patterns and isolations the light creates. | Camera: Canon XTI with 18-55 kit […]

Get Outside Your Box | Toronto Photographer

December 29, 2015 by Ardean Peters

I love this shot. It’s simple. Clean. Good. And it’s not how I usually shoot currently, being a bit more ‘studio’ feeling. Now, I tend to shoot more ‘natural’ light looking with just a bit more depth and environment. But it’s a good shot. And I can do it, rather well. It’s where I started and gave me a good foundation. What is great about this thing called Photography is that there is always something new to explore and I […]

Man About the Town | Toronto Photographer

November 24, 2015 by Ardean Peters

I think I’ve said this before, I don’t photograph men enough. I’m rectifying this… This series of images, I’m particularly in love with: Classic, Strong, Engaging and I love the ‘retro’ feeling of the last two images in black and white. The beauty of shooting outdoor/on location is the opportunity to find and make use of great light. Contact me here to book a session | Subscribe to my mailing list here

Portrait & Headshots with Felicia | Toronto Photographer

November 2, 2015 by Ardean Peters

I had a lovely Portrait & Headshot session with a Toronto actress, Felicia Simone. Working with actors is a lot of fun and always interesting. Although actors work in a similar medium, there are differences between moving and still images. My job is to capture the energy of their personality in that still image or to convey a certain mood or character. Challenging but always fun and always worth the great results.

Beautiful in All Colours | Toronto Photographer

October 8, 2015 by Ardean Peters

This shoot was different for me. After making sure I had my sure shots [link], I decided to experiment a bit, as I blogged about in this post [link]. And with experimentation comes a bit of trepidation but also a chance for wonderful new discoveries. Along with always being blessed with wonderful people in front of my lens, like Alex, an Actor in Toronto (Check out her website here [link]), I was able to capture images that fall outside of […]

What do you have? | Toronto Photographer

October 5, 2015 by Ardean Peters

“Focus on revealing what you already have.” Simply put, isn’t it? But we can so easily get caught up in all that we think we don’t have. All the we think we need. And that then becomes a very, very slippery slope of ‘what if’s’ and ‘should have’s’. Focus on right now, and what you can do right now that you enjoy, that makes you happy. It doesn’t have to be complex, but you should really do it because it […]

Things to do while waiting for the train to pass | Toronto Photographer

October 3, 2015 by Ardean Peters

Take pictures and make a short timelapse of the train passing. I was on my way back from my morning Family Mini Shoot sessions at High Park and took what I thought would be a short cut on Junction Rd. But the train came an it was good. It forced me to wait and just be for awhile. And my sessions at the park? Well, they were awesome! I love hanging with families and making great pictures. Such a great […]

Barn’s Burnt Down… Now I Can See the Moon | Toronto Photographer

October 2, 2015 by Ardean Peters

I missed the Supermoon last Sunday night, as most of us in the immediate Toronto area did. It was overcast and we just had no visibility. I know, ’cause I went out driving around in my car hoping for a shot from a highway overpass with a good clear view, but no luck. But there were good views north of the city and west in Hamilton as captured here by Anita Thomas at Urbanmoon Photography. I really love the moon. […]
