Curvy | Toronto Reference Library
Saving my favorite for last, all those curves at the Toronto Reference Library. Only the second time I’ve visited here, yet another location with a great staircase. There are a number of ways to shoot this, both focusing on the curves and the angles because there are many of both. I prefer the curvy […]
Neighbors
Sticking with the black & white theme and Toronto’s Yorkville neighborhood, though moving from One Bloor East’s curves to the angles of our next two stops: The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) and Exhibit Residences. These two are neighbors, just across the street from each other. We focused our attention on the museum extension designed by […]
One Bloor East
A new location for me! It’s rare to photograph something for the first time on a workshop since we have a tendency to scout places first to make sure they’re a good fit for the workshop. But sometimes you just know a building will be worth it. One Bloor East is a new luxury condo […]
So many angles
Still much to share from Toronto. Today is a mix of various locations around the city, all having sharp angles in common. The first is a condo in the Entertainment District. This wasn’t originally on our list but one of the students wanted to stop for a few shots. Great staggered balconies on this one, […]
Toronto City Hall
Toronto has a good amount of Brutalist Architecture, most predominantly its City Hall. Full of curves from a sculptural area in the plaza to the actual highrise buildings in the background. Here you see some details from a distance. I often think brutalist architecture looks good in black and white given its coldness from […]
Shades of Blue
Blue is common to come across in architecture, in large part due to the blue sky reflecting in all those glassy buildings. Then, on occasion, due to my love of the color and altering the white balance in some shots (read more here on how/why). Like you see below and above in the Allen Lambert […]
Urban Quilt Toronto, new additions
A final round of Toronto images from my April trip, some new additions to the Toronto edition of my Urban Quilt series. I’ve been wanting to photograph this area of downtown for this series for months but there’s this electrical company with a steam chimney, or whatever the correct terms are, lol, that has been […]
Eaton Centre Bridge
Last month I made a couple of photo stops around Toronto. After the AGO, I stopped by the WilkinsonEyre designed pedestrian bridge that connects Hudson Bay’s flagship store with the Eaton Centre mall. The Hudson Bay end of the bridge has a circular opening to accommodate the arches of the building, while the Eaton Centre […]
"Unzipped" Toronto
A few weeks ago I made a brief stop in Toronto before heading off to Paris for the upcoming workshop I was teaching with Michael Muraz through our Photography Unfolded site. In a last minute decision Michael got us tickets to “Unzipped” Toronto. The first North American stop of the BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group designed pavilion. First, […]
