Tdot Shots
You may know us from our involvement with the Toronto photography community. We launched our Instagram and website in 2018. We have featured more than 500 photographers 1500 posts, interviewed 50 photographers for our Five Questions feature, and led hundreds of GTA photographers on photo walks.
We have held an annual photo contest since 2019 and in 2021 we introduced the “Iconic Toronto” theme. This year, 2022, we will produce a photo book. We welcome contributors. Looking forward to seeing your shots! Be sure to order your copy through our crowd-funding site.
Thank You Volunteers, Sponsors and Contributors!
We truly appreciate the support of the Toronto photography community. We couldn’t do it without you.
