William Prince

Creating compelling artist portraits for legendary music institutions requires a keen eye for character and mood. Specifically, I was commissioned by Massey Hall to photograph acclaimed Canadian singer-songwriter William Prince ahead of his intimate live performance in Toronto.

The portrait session took place on location at The Drake Hotel in Toronto, specifically tied to his showcase at The Drake Underground. Furthermore, capturing his authentic presence in such a historic boutique setting resulted in a striking visual series. Both Massey Hall and the artist utilized these portraits extensively for promotional campaigns, media features, and digital music releases. You can explore similar portraiture within my Toronto headshots and portraits portfolio.
