I’m Ryan McGilchrist, a photographer from the Greater Toronto Area who has spent more than half my life capturing the beauty of everyday moments. I believe in the power of images to tell meaningful stories, whether I’m shooting landscapes, documenting family life, or exploring new places. My work is driven by a love for authentic moments, often inspired by the nostalgic feel of film and the joy of simply being behind the camera.

Projects

McGilchrist Photo Collection is an upcoming gallery and archive of my personal photography collection.

CANINE is a decade-long project dedicated to documenting and celebrating dogs, exploring their bond with humans and the world around them.

Past

PROJECT CANVAS was an AI art project that explores the intersection of creativity and technology, producing unique, beautiful artwork while exploring the capabilities of AI-generated art.
