John Weight Photography

John Weight Photography Commercial Photographer I'm a commercial photographer serving creative entrepreneurs and inspired brands in Toronto and beyond.

My clients hire me to collaborate and contribute ideas. They rely on my professional approach and expert lighting to create compelling images that truly represent them and their brand. I am committed to taking the time to get to know you and your business, understand your specific needs, and nail the shots. By doing the prep work, I ensure that my team and I are fully engaged and flexible so that

the shoot is stress free and efficient. We always look for opportunities to push the edges of the creative brief as this is often when the magic happens! I'm all about telling your unique story through exquisite and purposeful photography to make you, your brand, and what you do look good!

Photos Matter:

Celebrating moments big and small, capturing and sharing images of people, places and things, both joyous and sad - photography can enlighten, tell the stories of and communicate with people around the globe.

A photograph can give the viewer a moment to pause and reflect in what is an often too fast moving world.

As a photographer, collaborating with and creating images of people and who they are, what they do, and how they impact the world around them is my passion. Photos matter to me.

The Bionic Ballerina Part 2

Rebekah Rimsay, acclaimed dancer with The National Ballet of Canada photographed for the Humber River Hospital magazine.

Suffering a near career ending injury during a performance in 2019, Rebekah underwent total hip replacement surgery performed by Dr. Sebastian Rodriguez-Elizalde & his team at HRH in June 2021 & was back performing three months later.

The 1st image here is the one featured in the HRH magazine. The 2nd image is one of my favourite outtakes capturing Rebekah’s playful enthusiasm & her amazing smile!

Freeze Mode = Beast Mode!

For a recent shoot of a ballet dancer we needed to freeze motion. In order to accomplish this we powered up our mighty Profoto B1X and gave freeze mode a try. Having never used this function before we were very curious to see the results. As you can see in the test shot the B1X (pretty sure the “B” stands for “Beast”) handled this with ease. Way to go Profoto! Final shots to come after publication, stay tuned…
