Based in Toronto, Rachel shoots custom photo content for news and commercial agencies, small businesses, yoga/fitness/wellness professionals, culinary artists and artists/artisans looking for high end, professional images. Rachel loves to work collaboratively with her clients, providing creative, beautiful photos on a quick timeline.

Rachel’s career as a photographer began in 2005 when at the age of 21 she began shooting concerts and editorial features for Chart magazine, Canada’s top music publication at the time. She has a BFA in Criticism and Curatorial Practice from OCADU (2008) and an MA in Photographic Preservation and Collections Management from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson, 2010). She’s the Manager, Images Archive and Digitization at The Canadian Press and is a co-curator of the upcoming exhibition Stories from the Picture Press: Black Star Publishing Co. & The Canadian Press to be held at The Image Centre in 2023. Rachel is also a visual artist who paints abstracts and oversized poodles — and of course she enjoys photographing her paintings and can be hired to photograph artwork for other artists too.
