Attodyne in Photons Magazine, Vol. 10, No. 1

In April, I collaborated with the Canadian Institute for Photonic Innovations (CIPI), a Network of Centres of Excellence, to showcase the talents of the many Canadian researchers in photonics research. I worked specifically with Dr. Michael Crowna and Dr. Darren Kraemer and shot them in the photos released in the Spring 2012 magazine edition. Crowna and Kraemer did their research on the dynamics of water at the University of Toronto, which later became a start-up called Attodyne. The CIPI Grant in which they applied for at the start of the business, provided them funding to push their technological research, hired expertise in the field and developed effective marketing strategies.

The School of Image Arts is the home of students in film, photography and New Media. A four-year project, starting from April 2008, the new renovated building has recently launched in Fall 2011 and allowed students and faculty to reconnect again. This building will feature a large expansion of space including study spaces, natural light and greater accessibility.

Upcoming on the street-level, it will feature a café and the Ryerson Image Centre, which features the Black Star Collection. This is donated anonymously, and will showcase a large black and white collection of photographs featuring personalities in the 20th century including Winston Churchill and Marilyn Monroe.

I was commissioned to take portrait of the newly renovated building that has transformed Gould Street with its exterior glass-encased LED lights. The photo was shot in Fall 2011 and is now featured on the Ryerson University’s Homepage. Shot during noon, the sun perfectly shines in the background to provide the perfect lighting. The lens flare further enhances the feeling of new era as the university continues to grow and expand in Toronto.

In November, I got an urgent call from Global Wealth Trade to do a photoshoot for their luxurious FERI watches as they were unsatisfied with the result from their previous photographer. I was very honoured to have been given this opportunity and quickly delivered the final product within 24 hours for an immediate magazine publication. The client was impressed with the work and it was successfully published in the Preferred Lifestyle Magazine – Fall 2011 issue.

Recently, I did some photographic work to contribute back to my university. I was surprised to find that the images were published in the school magazine.
