Petar Boskovic is a photo-based artist currently living in Toronto. He graduated from the University of Toronto with a Bachelor of Arts in 2009 and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from OCAD University in 2015. His aim is an ontological survey of the everyday, examining and exploring the way in which our lives exist both on the surface of things and beneath it. The attempt is to capture the absurd and visceral elements of urban spaces, generating images that exemplify the duality of presence and vacancy.

Cosmo Calisse is a Toronto based Photographer & Filmmaker. Born in Italy and raised in the US and France, he moved to Toronto in 2010 where he now lives and works. Calisse shoots a variety of styles but is probably best known for his incredible Toronto skyline and skyscraper rooftop imagery.

He specializes in high-society galas and artistic celebrity photography, with images appearing in Vogue, the Wall Street Journal, Globe and Mail, National Post, W Magazine, Forbes and more. His subjects include Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Justin Trudeau, George Clooney and Victoria Beckham.

William Emerson Gaydos is a Toronto-based photographer, artist, and designer. Having lived in the city most of his life, his work is strongly influenced by the urban experience.

His background includes over 12 years in the Toronto graffiti scene, and an HBA in Urban Studies and Human Geography from the University of Toronto, experiences which together have informed his creative work.

Trevor Godinho is a photographer and artist best known for photographing some of Hollywoods most famous leading men and women.

Mara Gajic is a recent graduate of OCAD University. Her work is driven by elements of performance to explore open narratives of self-construct, personal psychology and the quiet space between imagination and reality. Using colourful visual narratives in her photography, Gajic has developed a bold signature style in her work that encourages an unspoken dialogue between the viewer and artist.

Pamela Julian is a self-taught photographer whose passion for photography started when she was a child. Pamela has tried her hand at many different genres, with architecture and urban exploration remaining favorites. Photography has become a way to show how she not only sees the world, but how these locations make her feel upon closer consideration.

Nick Kozak is a freelance photojournalist whose current work is focused on the issues of community and identity, their inseparability and constant state of flux. His curiosity is combined with a keen eye, innate sensitivity and desire for greater social awareness. He photographs regularly for newspapers and not-for-profits and captures moments of daily life around him.

Chris Reign is a branding, lifestyle and nightlife photographer from Toronto. Chris is known for photographing nightly in Toronto's most popular clubs and lounges. He has photographed some of today's most known musical artists like Drake, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Flo-Rida and more.

Toms photography is concentrated on urban and industrial architecture. His subjects include storefronts, warehouses, industrial and remnant buildings. Last year he received an Ontario Arts Council grant for his project Consumed.
