Westside Studio is an advertising photography facility in Toronto, Canada. This blog is an outlet for our latest news and imagery.
Through it’s combination of stunning Canadian songstress, beautiful black and white, and propping that would make Aleister Crowley proud, this new creative series from Matt Barnes is without a doubt the greatest way to find the light at the end of your work-week.
Enjoy.
Go hit up THE PASSING SHOT for more, and then have yourselves a killer weekend.

While there has been a number of good internet April Fools jokes played so far, we here on the Westside understand that the internet is serious business, and the hearts of its users should not be subjected to false claims of such (amazing) things as ‘weaponized military felines‘.
And so as a means of combatting todays onslaught of ‘fake but funny’ moments, we offer you Kayla, a dog who spent some time at the studio playing Art Director this past weekend.
We’ll get to why Kayla was kickin’ it Westside style in the future, but for now go follow her barks on Twttr or search #ItsKayla on Instagram and keep up with her adventures.

T’was exactly two months ago that we showed off Chris Gordaneer‘s extensive campaign for Acura, staring the Japanese automaker’s new flagship luxury sedan, the 2014 RLX. If you can’t remember that far back, here’s a reminder of the work.
Now that you’ve been caught up, we can tell you about one of the ways Chris’ work can be seen in glorious print. Should you find yourself at your local Acura dealership, be sure to pick up a copy of their latest vehicle brocher where you will find the full run of Chris’ images. Not going to be at an Acura dealership? Fear not, because we got some high quality scans for you to take a peak at. Enjoy

A fresh (and mostly safe for work) PHOTOGASM comin’ at ya by way of the That’s The Spot crew – who made good with some spare time in Miami by spending it with up and coming model Niki Skyler. We’ll have some IN PRINT’s coming up in the future to show off why Mr. Barnes was down in the Florida sun, but for now just sit back, relax, and enjoy the view.
Things get a little less SFW over on THE PASSING SHOT, so if you’re at the office and a risk taker, check that the coast is clear and click on through.
Happy Friday Freaks – Enjoy the weekend!

A special little treat for you from Vicky Lam on this, the day of the Valentine. Before we give up the love here’s the lady to give you the lowdown.
I’m not sure why I was compelled to do this and I realize there is no heavy narrative behind it; I was just craving to do something visual and explore the idea of looping motion and common symbols involved with Valentines day.
So Happy Valentine’s Day! (more like Single Awareness Day ;D)

I’ll be honest – when Toronto born hip-hop/r&b star, Abel ‘The Weeknd‘ Tesfaye’s album Trilogy was released back in November, I wasn’t convinced that 27 previously free songs could produce commercially successful numbers; no matter how amazing they may be. Fortunately I was very, very wrong.
With 500,000+ copies sold to date, I think it’s safe to say this local boy’s presence is far from fading and in accordance with this, today we debut a new GIF from Ryan Enn Hughes featuring The Weeknd doin’ his thing. If you’ve never heard his voice, click play and put some music to Ryan’s work, you won’t be sorry.
