I have a lot of experience shooting many different product photos in Richmond Hill (Toronto GTA). This covers two aspects: different products whether they are big or small, glossy or matte; and different kinds of photos including white background product images or ambient photos shot in a life setting environment or creative pictures. I can also produce digital product photos for both online usage or printing purpose.
Please check the product photography portfolio link below to see different categories of products and various types of product photos.
When a product photographer shoots a subject in the studio, usually the photographer will put the product on the table or a surface. Before setting up the lighting the photographer needs to predict the final photo.
If you use the same lighting set up for two different surfaces, you canget two totally different photos. Because different subjects with different surfaces will affect the lighting effect and give you different images. To control the lighting the photographer has to understand how the material influence the lighting. Normally there are three ways the product will respond to the lighting: absorb, transmit and reflect.
For some junior product photographers, shooting a glass bottle is a challenging task. But for those senior product photographers, it is just a piece of cake. First of all, you need to understand how your subject’s material can affect the lighting. If you are using a small and high contrast light source, you will get the bad result for your photo. According to your subject’s material, the light will get the reflection on the surface of the bottle. So the photo will not show the best side of the product. To solve this problem you need to use a soft and large source light for the bottle. Below is the sample for this product shoot.
As a professional photographer in Toronto, many people try to ask me, what kind of the camera do you use? I answer people: a good photographer depends on his/her mind more than a camera, whereas a junior photographer works best with the equipment. As a photographer I have to get the idea for every project first, then I will get the best result which is what I want.

Usually architecture photos will show all details of the building or house. In fact, there is another way to take these kind of the photos. For my new photo below, except the lawn, it only shows the edifice in the shadow. All you can see is just the outline and shape of the buildings.
In Toronto, unfortunately we have a half-year winter and the colors always be white, dark and grey. People love to see the colorful stuff, but the summer is so short. For outdoor portrait photography, usually I would like to choose the colorful background in the pictures to keep the happy memory forever. For example like the photo below, the subject was wearing a white uniform, I chose some green trees as the background, which easily makes the chef outstanding in the photo.
Last Wednesday we were invited by Michael page to shoot business portraits for their leader team. As usual, we arrived on site half an hour ahead of the shooting time. On site photography means photographer has to face different unknown environments. This time I had to shoot in a very small business meeting room. And moreover there was a meeting table in the middle of the room. It was a challenge, isn’t it? To be a professional photographer I have to keep my brain running all the time. I need to solve any unexpected photography problem at my work. This is one of my photos on that day.
Troy is a polite and shy person. He is from Toronto. When I first met him, I can not imagine he is a singer. But when he faced the camera, he became a professional actor. The shooting was very smooth.
As a professional commercial photographer in Toronto, I have to listen to my customers. The photos are based on their requirement. I will provide perfect photos to satisfy my customers.
