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. :)

It was sunny. It was windy. It was chilly. It was cool. —

Thats how you describe the day we went up to the rooftop of an old apartment in Spadina.

This is Austin, I met this cray-cray during the cold days of winter when he visited Toronto and through my brother who is one of the wasteman, Calvin. Since then, we became good friends and always talk about creating online content besides tinder dates… loljk.

Tag hello kitty please. we want sponsors! LMAO. But seriously the bag was a great add up to the aesthetics.

Who would’ve thought that a Hello Kitty bag can be a good aesthetics for shoots. Right!? But we pulled it off and here are some shots —

“I am definitely holding on tight… tighter than my ex’s ever had” he said. (LMAO JK)

Quite interesting…

just quite…

Mr. Austinreeee pulled it off.

This is how weird we spend our weekends. All you need to do is follow these steps;

First, find someone who can pull off a hello kitty bag as their personal carry-on bag.

Secondly, you need a person who has the door key of the main doors. Security checks.

Third, always consider the weather… obviously!

Fourth, don’t let anyone know your motives… especially don’t talk about it when you’re in the elevator. They might wanna go with you too.

Fifth and the most important step, you need to know the superintendent of the building to have access with all the keys in all the fire exit doors. Sick!

Notes: If you can’t do the fifth step, better go home and watch Netflix. loljk

Jesus! the lighting during that day was on top!

ddrummm roooollss, please!
