On June 21st, an advertisement was published in The Globe and Mail featured a photo I have taken of nine distinguished individuals including Margaret Atwood and Valerie Pringle. This advertisement was for Ryerson University in celebration of handing out honorary degrees of outstanding contribution to engineers, broadcasters, award-winning authors and film producers alike. As a graduate of Ryerson’s well-known photography program, I, myself, know the excellence of the university and am also gladly associated with these strong individuals as well as been given this opportunity to shoot their portraits.
