Johnny Lam is a freelance photographer based in Toronto. He is best known for his portraits, documentary  & wedding photography. An adept traveler, Johnny has photographed in more than 30 countries on assignments as well as personal projects. His most recent venture had taken him to India, including Dharamshala for his Holiness’ annual spring teaching.  

Because of his personal interest in Tibetan culture and Buddhism, he has chosen to work with the Tibetan community to begin what could possibly be an ongoing project that eventually reaches out to other ethnic groups in Toronto. 

Classes started in the second week of September and students between the ages of 6-14 have participated in the photography class.

Photography workshops has provided not only an opportunity for participants to learn the basic skills to capture images on film and include lessons in composition, camera angle and understanding lighting. but students convey their ideas and perspectives to their audience in photo essay form. In other words, they are able to tell their stories or the stories of others through images captured on film.
