Ivan Leung Photography

My style of photography is non intrusive. I respect people's spaces and often capture the raw emotions of candid moments.

Photography and the art of seeing light and shadow have been my passion since I was a student in highschool. I was heavly influenced by watching a lot of movies and music videos. Always intrigued about how the cinematographer or director came up with how to light their subject or scene and the angles they chose to communicate their story. I spent most of my highschool days in the darkroom trying to absorb everything I could about photography.

Against my fathers wish, I took a leap of faith and I pursued a college degree at Humber College in their creative photography program. My two years of college allowed me to really understand the art of photography. Keep in mind, this was also back in 1997, and digital camera had just been introduced. I shot with only traditional analog film. Because of this, I learnt to be patient and framed my subject with purpose.

I shoot with professional Canon DSLR cameras and lenses.
