Meet the Studio Owner...

Richard Emmanuel is an accomplished multimedia professional whose artistic talents and business savvy have propelled him to the forefront of the Canadian and international photography scenes. From an early age, Richard was surrounded by photography and art. His father, Milan, an expert photographer first exposed Richard to the world of cameras, images and light. Richard’s future was destined from the moment he picked up his first camera, astonishing everyone with his inherent talent to capture the beauty of life one frame at a time.

After completing his Bachelors of Applied Arts from Ryerson University in Toronto, Richard assumed the responsibilities of operating and managing the family’s business, Canada’s largest full service photography studio.

In 1998 he capitalized on the success of the family business and launched Solarfocus Media Group—a commercial multimedia company specializing in visual content for advertising and industrial imaging. Blue-chip clients include AT&T, Bell Canada, McDonalds, Royal Bank, VISA, as well as Canadian Living Magazine, to name a few.

Encouraged by the success of his commercial enterprises and the increased demand for his artistic visual works, in 2002 Richard launched Richard Emmanuel—an exclusive personalized photography service. This select service has found its patrons amongst Royals, celebrities, world leaders and public figures. Select clientele include Her Royal Highness Princess Anne, Pope John Paul II, French President Jacques Chirac, Right Honourable Lord Robertson of Port Ellen, NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer and former US Secretary of State Colin Powell.

Richard is currently expanding his interests to include program development for television and specialty channels. He has been prominently featured on A&E, CityTV and the Global Television Network as a world-renowned photographer and industry expert. Richard Emmanuel presently resides in Toronto. He and his wife Stephanie are happily married and have a new baby girl.

In the News:
Richard Emmanuel was named Studio of the Month by the international Photography Monthly magazine. The magazine noted that “Presidents of nations, heads of state, high-ranking military and political officials have all stood before his lens.” It goes on to state that when Richard covered the Atlantic Treaty Organization’s 49th General Assembly, he was the only official photographer with permission to photograph Princess Anne in the Holyrood Palace and aboard the Royal Yacht Britannia. The article concludes, “After all, if he’s photographed world leaders, he is definitely capable of covering [clients’] weddings or portraits properly.”
