ATUL 2 - From The Interiors Portfolio


This portrait of Atul was shot a few days ago on location in Kensington Market, Toronto. We had talked for awhile about his upcoming trip to Brazil; this gave me a glimpse into a creative life of remarkable depth. Calm, yet passionate about his vocation as a teacher, mentor and leader.

Interiors is an ongoing, long term, portrait series of mine. The collection evolved from an inspiring portrait session with one person.
The series explores the subtler, more introspective side of people, to look at the spaciousness and stillness that resides in each moment. Shot on location with existing light, both film and digital formats are used to help keep these black and white images simple and timeless. Along with building a strong rapport with the subject, this approach strips away much of the glossy, surface treatment that people are regularly subjected to in photography, and allows another aspect of the real person to come through.
