I first met Anton randomly on a family vacation to Panama. A number of other families from the neighborhood I grew up in all went together in a group of 20-30 people and Anton was there with some friends I grew up with. I knew he was a good guy right away because he was walking around with a Canon 5D. Since then I have now done a couple photo shoots for his Restaurant, At The Five in Barrie, Ontario. The 1st being a food prep shoot on a very busy night during Barrielishious, a week where all the restaurants offer full coarse meals for $20. The other was this afternoon, portraits for their website launching one week from today. He was looking for a gritty Black and White look, I think I got what he had in mind.
I will link the restaurant site when its up. I also HIGHLY recommend going to At The Five if you have not yet.
Get a Strawberry Mule to drink while your there too, It’ll change your life

Well done man!
love the photos, of course smiling is good -serious can be good too….but not tired…like the shot in the booth =cool=
my faves are 1, 3, 4…#4 is effing rad, great for a business card or interview photo for him or something…great lighting, awesome smile, did you use a tilt-shift?
one thing i think couldve been improved on all the photos is that he should have his name embroidered on his chefs coat? that would look mega pro
yea yea nice work
good stuff Richard. I like the booth shot!
Love #3 & 4!
