Todd Duncan is a Vancouver Photographer specializing in commercial advertisement, editorial fashion, and acting headshot photography.
Todd is an emerging player in the editorial fashion scene. His work has been been described as clean, refined and elegant using bold colors and intricate, yet subtle lighting to illustrate his images. He has shot fashion tests across the US in Los Angeles, Miami and in New York for the Mercedes Benz Fashion week.
Considered by many of his clients as a 'location specialist', Todd incorporates strong visuals with a mixture of ambient and strobe lighting to lift the subject from it's environment. Todd's expertise in studio lighting on location allows him to cover a variety of projects and complete them on time with confidence. Todd is available for fashion editorial testing, as well as commercial campaigns for fledgling ventures and blue chip companies looking to update their promotional images, and he approaches all new projects with enthusiasm and a bountiful amount of high energy on set.
"Who am I? I'm a lucky guy who gets to pursue some creative paths. Well maybe not that lucky, I have paid some dues. As a child, I always wanted to create visuals from scratch, but didn't know how to go about doing it. Journalism school wasn't the answer, as I was deemed to be not succinct enough at describing a scene and reporting it for a newspaper. My professors suggested I look into photography. "
"My parents gave me a Nikon 801 for my university graduation present. I used it to virtually cover the entire continent of Australia in 1994, and never looked back in regards to transforming the camera into a full time career.
I've always been a people-person throughout my life, and have married that into my photographic career where people have generally been the subjects of my lens, whether it be capturing Angus Young wailing on his Gibson for a Vancouver daily, or composing a politician's portrait for his new campaign. Whatever the job entails, my goal is to connect to my client with my level of energy, and photograph them in their most natural environment as best as possible."
