Snow Day Street Portraits // 20.01.22

One of my favourite genres of street photography is “street portraits.” It’s not something I’ve been practicing as frequently as I would like to, but I’m hoping to change that. When I started shooting I definitely did a lot more of this. I’ve been trying to carry around my Fuji X100V with me everywhere, so hopefully that will open up more opportunities to shoot some strangers.

The other day, here in Toronto, we got walloped with a big snow fall. I decided to go out to shot some photos while the snow was falling. I managed to get some interesting street portraits. Here are some of my greatest hits from that day.

Respiratory Therapist Week 2021 // POTD 08.11.21

I spent an afternoon on one of the intensive care units at Trillium Health Partners to gather some images for Respiratory Therapist Week. RT’s plays an integral role in caring for patients with COVID-19. It is amazing to watch these teams work together to care for their patients.

Mississauga's first mass COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic Closes

I had the opportunity to document UTM's mass vaccinations clinic operations from when it started to when it closed. It was a really amazing thing to be a part of. I think this will be a moment that I'll look back on fondly.

Something really special about this day was getting to spend time with the staff who ran this clinic throughout its lifecycle. They were playing slideshows of the images I took at the clinic. The staff were gathered around reminiscing about their experience. It’s moments like this that are really special for me as a photographer. To be able to capture photographs of these milestones is such a privilege. I made sure to share the images with everyone I could so they would have something to look back on from their time working at the clinic. For the staff who worked and shared memories I hope these images and videos age like a fine wine.

Vaccine Efficacy Explained

Another animated video created for Trillium Health Partners.

"All approved vaccines are 100 per cent effective at preventing hospitalization and death from COVID-19. We should all take the first opportunity to be vaccinated."

Watch as Dr. Matthew Robinson, Medical Director of THP’s COVID-19 Vaccination Program, explains what is meant by vaccine efficacy in relation to the severity of symptoms caused by COVID-19.

More animations I’ve created can be found HERE.

Throwback Thursday: Mass COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic Opens in Mississauga

On March 1, 2021, in partnership with University of Toronto Mississauga and Region of Peel, THP opened Mississauga’s first mass COVID-19 vaccination clinic. I had the pleasure of shooting photo and video of the opening. This is a major milestone in the fight against COVID-19.
