“I knew I had to work with Tristan when I saw a friend of mine's (Thiago) portraits that he had done. I was entranced by the striking lighting and beautiful post-processing work. What jumped out at me the most were the bold pops of colour. Being an artist in the game development industry, I wanted to showcase all facets of my personality, and talking to Tristan the first time around reassured me that we would have an opportunity to be creative and try some interesting lighting concepts. I was not disappointed! I had so many images to choose from and it was hard to narrow them down, but I have a feeling I will soon be reaching out for some more edits soon! Having little experience with modeling, I was initially nervous but Tristan was great at guiding my poses and making me feel more comfortable with the process. The final result speaks for itself. The portraits are stunning! I feel confident and proud to showcase my personality through Tristan's portraits on my socials.”

“Tristan is an outstanding portrait photographer. He demonstrated tremendous professionalism when he captured headshots at my Toronto Professional Women’s Meetup with nearly one hundred women in attendance. His work on Instagram and his unique style of photography were the primary reasons I chose him, but it was his calming presence under pressure that truly impressed me during my three-hour gathering. Every woman left amazed by their pictures and satisfied with the level of service they received. Without hesitation, I confidently recommend hiring him for any photography needs!”

During the session, he made me feel incredibly comfortable and at ease, which allowed my genuine personality to shine through in each shot. His attention to detail and a keen eye for lighting and composition resulted in a collection of portraits that exceeded my expectations. The final photographs were nothing short of breathtaking, and I continue to receive endless compliments on the images. I highly recommend Tristan Viney to anyone seeking a skilled and passionate photographer who can beautifully capture the essence of an individual. His dedication to the craft and commitment to delivering exceptional quality is truly commendable. I look forward to working with him again in the future and am grateful for the stunning portraits that I will cherish for a lifetime. The photos have an incredible essence of Dan Winters.”

“After Tristan and I had our first conversation, I felt that we had connected on a number of levels, and I made a unique request to him. I wanted him to capture the atmosphere and Arctic environment of Nunavut in my images through lighting and poses... and he went above and beyond! The photo session was very relaxed and friendly, he provided gentle guidance about poses and looks. I even brought my Arctic parka to be photographed in, inJuly! Tristan was very accommodating, provided a variety of electronic options for screening the initial images within a few days, and helped me to narrow my choices very effectively. The final retouched images were ready a week or two later, and they were incredible! I would highly recommend Tristan to anyone who is looking for professional photos, either in studio or out. He is an absolute pleasure to work with and incredibly creative! Thank you, Tristan!“

“I’ve had two portrait sessions with Tristan now. Both were fun and engaging experiences that me feel a lot like an interesting person, and a little bit like a rockstar. His ability to bring out an authentic expression in his work is not only an incredible final product, but a lot of fun to be a part of during the shoot. This is something that sets him apart from other photographers I’ve worked with in the past. Tristan has an unlimited source of creative ideas to bring vibrance and sophistication to his work every single time. His work speaks for itself, but I hope these words put it beyond any doubt. Hire Tristan to take photos of you and your people, it’s only going to be great result.”

Christopher Dew
Photographer
“I'm used to being behind the camera, though have done some modelling for other photographer's projects. Tristan and I had not met in person, but when he arrived, I was first struck with the ease with which he summed up subject and location, clearly creative ideas were swirling from the start. What followed was a wide ranging mixture of positioning, posing and a couple of locations, all in a playful and creative atmosphere. When Tristan sent me the images, I was very much impressed with the quality and variations he provided, the lighting was excellent. The photos are 'real' - he "Got me!”
Michelle Tan

“My co-founders and I had a really seamless experience working with Tristan. Our brief to him — capture and retouch portraits of our 3 founders so that we have a matching set. The tricky part? 2 of us live over 6,000km from Toronto. Not a problem for Tristan, though! He worked with a local photographer to create a similar look for our 3 headshots and retouched all our photos with an amazing and natural eye for detail. Given the distance, mine was the only portrait he shot. He has a way of putting people at ease and he made me forget my nerves so I was comfortable in front of the camera. We’re very excited to see our company come to life in these images he’s created for us.”
Rey Casiano
Actor
“I contacted Tristan after seeing his work on Instagram. I explained to Tristan what I was looking for, and he accommodated my wishes. I had a fantastic experience, and his expertise in photography is bar-none. The quality of the headshots that he took helped me to obtain a principal-agent since I am an actor by trade. I strongly recommend Tristan's services to meet all your photography needs.”
Noelle Roque

“Working with Tristan was a breeze. His clear and timely communications during our initial coordination set the tone for a positive experience. The shoot itself felt incredibly comfortable and easy. I've previously had photoshoot experiences that felt rushed, forced and inauthentic to who I was - this was nothing like that. Tristan was patient and provided helpful guidance. He had a collaborative approach throughout the shoot, which allowed an introvert like me to step out of my shell a bit more. I also really appreciated how clear, organized and helpful he was in the portrait selection and editing process. Thank you, Tristan. I'm so pleased with not only the quality of your portrait work, but also the experience you've created around it.”

He was very professional in our interactions, while also being laid-back, easy and fun to work with, and his tips and pointers really helped as I was a beginner.

His creativity and passion for photography makes me recommend him to anyone who asks!”

“My experience with Tristan was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment I arrived, he made me feel entirely at ease, which, for someone with little photoshoot experience such as myself, is quite the achievement. Throughout our shoot, he provided steady, sensible direction, but never at the expense of creativity and experimentation. Bottom line: eminently friendly, supremely talented, and consummately professional - I cannot recommend his services highly enough.”

Haider Al-Baldawi
“I was never a photogenic person, and funny enough, have always hated being dragged into photographs by family, friends, etc. since childhood. But, when I saw Tristan's Reddit post, I knew that this was a great opportunity to do something out of my comfort zone and get over my irrational aversion to myself being photographed. I can't say I wasn't apprehensive at first, but Tristan's work on the "Face of Toronto" series speaks for itself, and when I met with him for my shoot, I knew I was in good hands. I'm thankful to have crossed paths with such a talented gentleman, and have gained immense respect for Tristan's tenacity to put himself and his work out there. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for some quality portraits. An absolute gem and pleasure to work with.”
KJ Fuhrman
“Tristan has a comforting vibe, a background in media and photography, and made the entire process casual and creative while being professional and fun. It was wonderful to collaborate with someone who had their project goal in mind but allowed me to bring a little bit of myself to that project. His direction was simple and straightforward which allowed us to accomplish a lot in a short period of time and turn out amazing results. He is quick, patient and clear with his communication and kept me informed as the process moved along. I’d highly recommend Tristan for your photographic needs.”
Jessica Poon
“I had an absolute blast shooting with Tristan and it really shows! If you’re camera-shy, don’t worry; Tristan is personable and funny and totally understands the inherent weirdness of being photographed. I spent the majority of the shoot smiling and laughing. On the technical side, Tristan is incredibly detail-oriented and has a superb eye for composition that is doubtless enhanced by his considerable experience in the film industry. His enthusiasm for photography is infectious. His edits are immaculate, enhancing the pre-existing beauty of the originals. Basically, if you want to look good in a photo AND look like yourself, Tristan’s the dude.”
Luis Felipe Bendezu
“From a hesitant novice to a thrilled admirer! My first-time experience with Tristan was a stroke of luck. He captured not just my image but my essence.

Barra Ó Súilleabháin
“I had never done a photoshoot before and it’s not generally the kind of thing I’d be comfortable with, but when I saw Tristan’s ad online, I decided to bite the bullet. Although I was a little apprehensive before the shoot, Tristan made it surprisingly comfortable and easy to settle in and pose. He is both personable and knowledgeable, making the process a breeze, and I was delighted with the products. Tristan clearly has a lot of talent and I fully recommend his service.”
Nitya Nalamari
“For a first-timer in terms of getting their portrait pictures clicked, Tristan made me feel super comfortable. I met him at an outdoor location (picked by me) on a very cold and windy day. The fact that Tristan was willing to arrive at my chosen place was quite reassuring. Despite the chilly weather and my awkwardness in front of the camera, he took his time to get as many nice shots as possible. It was a really nice experience and I highly recommend his services.”
Nic Mencia
“As an actor I have found myself in front of many photographers! And I have to be honest, Tristan make me feel comfortable right away! I just knew I was in safe hands and could really be myself fully! That always allows for a better shot! He was so easy to talk to and to work with! I am in love with the final result, and so are all my friends! I would recommend Tristan to anyone in the industry!”
Cameron MacDonald
“I was a bit nervous meeting someone from Reddit, I wasn’t sure what to expect or if I was going to come out alive but Tristan made the whole process seamless and fun. We started off with a quick chat and once I was cool calm and collected we started shooting. The process was fun and the results were amazing. As Tristan is just beginning his journey to be a portrait photographer he can deliver professional photos on par with a studio for a fraction of the cost.”
Andy J

“Tristan was great to work with, I was a bit nervous going into the session and didn't know what to expect exactly, but he really put me at ease from the beginning of the session. He was very professional and had great ideas on different lighting and angles to use for my portraits, making suggestions and giving me direction throughout. I've already been referring him to work colleagues. It was a fun experience and I loved the photos. Tristan has a great talent!”
