Update | Website Upgrades
The past few weeks have been very busy. We’ve rolled out an awesome website upgrade and are excited to share it with you.
Abstract Expressionist New York | Art Gallery of Ontario | Philip Guston
It was pouring rain and foggy this morning when I drove to the Art Gallery of Ontario to view the Abstract Expressionist New York exhibit.
Featured were paintings from the Museum of Modern Art: Arshile Gorky, Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Joan Mitchell, Jackson Pollack, Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman.
Silent Auction | Benefit Concert | win a poster-size fine-art print
If you’re in Toronto this Thursday evening and would like to be entertained, you’re invited to the Naval Club’s Silent Auction and Benefit Concert in support of the Beach’s Glen Davis Ravine.
I’ve donated a signed and dated poster-size print of “Willow Avenue” to the Silent Auction. I personally output the print this morning. It’s current value is $500.00 which will increase the longer you own it.
Children | modelling opportunities
The Studio has a new Children Stock Library available for licensing. We provide this exposure to select clients we photograph at no additional cost. And, we can create modelling headshots to submit to agencies. Maybe your child can become a star.
Amusement Park Thrill Rides | image archive
Being thrown round in huge mechanical thrill rides is, well, a thrill. When I was a kid my favourite ride was The Flyer, an old-school wooden roller coaster that was part of Toronto’s CNE (Canadian National Exhibition).
Photography Workshops: Essentials (Updated)
I’m hosting a series of photography workshops called “Essentials”. Each progressive workshop teaches photographers how to better their photography. I start off with examining why we photograph, and then cover such topics as the difference between cameras and lenses. We move into exposure, DOF, lighting, composition and more.
This past weekend my students were great. [...]
Cancer Connections: Toronto book launch a huge success
Last night’s book launch of Cancer Connections: Images of hope and courage from across Canada, was a success. The First Canadian Place Gallery was over-flowing with people who attended the event. It was a wonderful way to celebrate the close of the nationwide exhibit, which criss-crossed the country over two years. The images, words, and [...]
Tonight is the Toronto Book Launch with Photosensitive
John Wiley and Sons is publishing the book “Cancer Connections”, which documents the effects of cancer on the lives of Canadians across the country. One of my images “Angelic” has been traveling across Canada as part of the traveling exhibition for the past couple of years. The book will have 1000 images from the exhibit.

Japan Disaster Appeal: You Can Help
The recent 8.9-magnitude earthquake off the east coast of Japan triggered a 23-foot tsunami that battered Japan’s coast and has left Japan in a state of emergency. Combined with unstable nuclear reactors, Japan and its people are suffering.
When I saw the images of the devastation, it reminded me of an image I captured while walking [...]
Let’s be real.
My wedding and family bio, I felt, needed a re-write. Not a biz-sounding bio which I need for my business clients, but one that reflects my sometimes quirky and always passionate self. So I re-wrote it this morning:
“Hello. My name is Dean Oros. I’m a photographer.
I love a good story. Especially stories of love and [...]

Dearest Baby…
One of my motivations for being a photographer is purely altruistic. I hope that the images I create for my family clients will document their heritage and will be kept in the family for generations to come. I believe the power of artful, creative family images, whether formal portraits or candid, will go a long [...]
My First Camera: Photography Workshop (Updated January 30th)
Yesterday’s post piqued some interesting comments on our Facebook Page.
Camera manufacturers are great at marketing the automatic functionality of their cameras aimed at consumers and prosumers. “Buy this full-featured camera and you’ll take great pictures”.
I’ll have beginning photographers approach me who already own $5000 to $10,000 (CDN) worth of gear, thinking it will make them [...]

Seriously, you have to read all the sweetness they say about us in their promo.
