Hi, my name is Bohan. Photography has always been a medium through which I express my passion for storytelling. I truly enjoy taking photos and I hope to use my work to make the world just a little bit more beautiful.

Why is it about the “Quiet” Toronto

When I first set up the shoot, I was going to take some standard street photography photos, but in my post-retouching, I realized that my pictures didn't fit into the classic street photography style, as most of them had a strange "quiet" feel to them.

Most people think of Toronto as a noisy place, sometimes even loud. But I found the exact opposite in my photos, which are mostly empty and peaceful. Thus, it would be more convincing if the images were processed this way. It gives a new visual experience to people who think of it as a noisy Toronto. I studied many portrait photography and studio lighting techniques at the college. While the expertise was helpful, I felt a casual and natural style would be more appropriate for my overall photos, so "Quiet Toronto" was born.
