For Torontophiles who like to keep with the city but who can't always walk the sidewalks, the scope of change in the region during the past 5 years can be measured through anecdotal and photographic information. The many amateur and professional photographers documenting Toronto’s unprecedented growth and posting the images online have provided a globally accessible window into everyday life in the big city. As one of UT’s top long-time photographic contributors, we selected Forum member “androiduk”, known beyond the forum as Andrew Fare, as this week’s UrbanToronto Photographer of the Week.
Since joining the UrbanToronto Forum just over five years ago in September of 2008, Andrew has amassed over 5,700 posts, with over 4,000 of them containing photos. For those of us familiar with Andrew’s work, it should come as no surprise that he is employed full time as a photographer, with great success in selling fine art prints and pop art through online distributors. Andrew’s astounding collage-inspired photo-mashups, like the one visible below, highlight the individuality of Toronto through its unique architectural landmarks and their distinctive textures, materials and signage.
Like many photographers posting on the UT Forum, Andrew has a keen interest in the construction and development scene in Toronto, and has been posting photographic construction updates since becoming involved with the UrbanToronto Forum in 2008.
While art prints and construction shots are no doubt his specialty, Andrew also frequently treats us to photography of various scenes and settings around the GTA, allowing us to live vicariously through his “Androiduk’s My Toronto” thread, located in the “City Photos & Videos” section of the Forum. You can also check out more of his work by visiting his website, Andrew Fare Photography.
We will return next week to feature another photographer from our Forum. Think you've got what it takes? Grab a camera or mobile device and get to work, then post your content in the Forum, and you just may find yourself featured in next week’s article!
