Stories from behind the lens

With every press of the shutter button, there's a story, a plan, an impulse and a feeling behind the image it produces. I love to get out and shoot, whether it captures award-winners or not, just getting out into the world to take in the beauty all around before pulling the Nikon out of my bag is a pure and gratifying pleasure. These are the stories of the how, when, where and why behind the photos, and the inspirations behind the photographer.

Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photo Walk of Old Toronto - October 5, 2024

Sep 28, 2024

Hey everyone! Join me for an incredible walk through Old Toronto, where we’ll journey through some of the city’s most historic neighbourhoods. For those who don’t know me, I’m an internationally award-winning travel photographer based in Toronto, serving as the Southern Ontario Chair for the Professional Photographers of Canada, and a KelbyOne VIP. I’m passionate about helping photographers at every stage of their journey.

We'll meet in the Distillery District at Balzac's Coffee, explore the iconic distillery architecture then head across the Esplanade and David Crombie Park to St. Lawrence Market. From there, we'll continue west to Berczy Park immediately followed by the historic Gooderham Building as the sun dips close to the horizon. While I can't predict the weather, I can predict that the sun will set on this day at 6:50 PM, and as we all know, the best shots happen during golden hour and blue hour, so weather-permitting, all we have to do is show up for epic photos! After having our fill of the Flatiron Building (Gooderham), we'll head west across Front Street back to the Distillery District in time for blue-hour photos of the enchanting Victorian-Era industrial landmarks, and finally meet up at the Mill Street Brewpub there at 21 Tank House Lane to have a drink, some food, get to know one another, share photos, and talk all things photography!

NOTE: The reservation at Mill Street Brewpub is under "POTTER" to be sure you're seated with the rest of the group when you arrive.

Please note, this will be a relaxed, fun gathering of photography enthusiasts—it's not a formal workshop or historical tour. That said, I’ll be happy to offer any assistance or advice while we enjoy capturing the landmarks of Old Toronto together.
