As a commercial photographer and director based in Toronto, Ky’s work explores the intersection of community and togetherness through vibrant palettes and composition. She is inspired by stories that bring people together and make us feel connected.

In 2012, Ky left a career in international public health to pursue her creative side behind the camera. Little did she know, she would find herself in the restaurant industry shooting delicious dishes and co-owning the food company Fidel Gastro’s and Toronto restaurant, Lisa Marie. She spent her time balancing restaurant life, working as a TV development producer and shooting cookbooks (Street Food Diaries, SuperFresh and In the French Kitchen With Kids to name a few). In 2018, Ky and her partner Matt Basile co-wrote bestselling cookbook Brunch Life.

Specializing in food and lifestyle imagery, her background in food and hospitality uniquely situates her work with a sense of authenticity, attention to detail, and ease on set that is signature to her style.

To date, Ky has shot and directed for clients such as Food Network, HGTV, Bertolli, Empress Gin, Nature Valley, Chevrolet, Knix, Quaker Oats, Pampers and many more.
