InFrame: Brent Javier

Location: Toronto, ON

It’s been a while since I went out shooting portraits. I’ve been hearing comments from people, either friends or colleagues, that I should continue and show off my visuals in the market.

When creating contents for social media these are factors to consider; weather, subject, and story.

Luckily I met Brent, an influencer and artist in Asia, here in Toronto. He’s on vacation and decided to link up for a shoot around the city.

We talked through our social media accounts about the details. I decided to give Kensington market for a stroll, it was a perfect neighbourhood for our first location.

This market is actually a bohemian neighbourhood that attracts tourists and artists as well as locals to its indie shops, thrift shops, arts spaces, and cheap thrills!

Around you can see Victorian houses along its tree-lined streets populated by families and international students.

Since the city has a lot of tourists, from within and out of the country, the growing business of pay-per-hour parking lots exist on every corner of the downtown area. Making use of it as an aesthetic for a shoot is on-point.

Aside from Kensington Market, there’s this neighbourhood nearby where you can find cheap deals on groceries and fashion, our ever favourite place to visit in every city we go to is the Chinatown.

Those fruit stalls and crowded sidewalks can be part of your aesthetics too…

P.S. we didn’t stole anything. I guarantee that. LOOOOOL.

But the vibe was over the top!

Chinatown has a lot of aesthetics especially at night with the neon lights. This awesome gentleman in my frames was actually down to do as directed. :)
