Welcome to Culture Snap Photography,
Culture Snap offers vibrant images from the roads of Toronto to rural Tanzania as taken by me - Toronto documentary photographer Henry VanderSpek.
I am excited to have my image "Beauty" in the 2023 SNAP Live Auction in support of the AIDS Committee of Toronto (ACT). This is the first live auction ACT will do in three years, so there is a lot of buzz about this event! It takes place March 23rd - click here to buy tickets.
On April 27th I will speaking to the Barrie Photo Club. My talk will be called "A Pilgrimage of the Street: Finding Meaning and Creating Art on the Streets of Toronto". I am really looking forward to meeting and connecting with the photographers there.
Thanks to all who attended my recent exhibit, Redacted City in the 2023 DesignTO Festival. The exhibit examined words disappearing from the streets of Toronto, and featured images taken over the past ten years.
To see more of my past documentary exhibits:
- On Notice - 2022 Contact Photo Festival
- Old World Shoes - 2021 Contact Photo Festival and 2022 DesignTO Festival
- Taxi Drivers of Toronto - 2017 Contact Photo Festival
If you are looking for someone to show the best of your special event, reveal your organizational mission in images and words, or document your non-profit work in Canada or overseas, look no further. I have over ten years experience capturing digital images, and many more shooting with film. You are welcome to read my bio, my year in review blog posts, words from past clients, and/or view a selection of my published images. After doing so, send me an email and I'd be happy to discuss possibilities.
If you are looking for unique photo art - for your home, office or as a meaningful gift, please visit my art images. If you have questions or want suggestions - contact me and I'll be happy to help you choose!
Best wishes!
Henry VanderSpek
