About me

I'm Hamidreza Ghanbari (Manager of People Studio).

The simplest way to describe myself is that I'm deeply in love with my work. I founded People Studio in 2009, focusing primarily on maternity, newborn, and family photography.

Today, I'm proud to have a great studio and a talented team of creative photo editors, all working under my supervision. Together, we bring fresh and unique ideas to every project.

To be honest, the most important thing you'll notice in my artwork is that you will never see repetitive photos — every family has their own story, their own concept, style, and location.

My base is Toronto, but my work has taken me all around the world, from the eastern shores of Bali to the center of Cancún and from Malibu to Miami.

I hope you enjoy the artwork created by my team and me.

Why People Studio

A luxury experience that still feels warm, natural, and easy.

Most clients arrive saying the same thing: “I’m not comfortable in front of the camera.” That is exactly why the experience is built around calm direction, clear preparation, and zero pressure to perform.

  • You are gently guided through posing, movement, and every part of the session.
  • Sessions are designed for real families, real babies, and clients who may feel camera-shy.
  • Everything stays simple and transparent, with a polished final gallery that still feels natural.
