Kelvin Young’s passion for photography and social issues took him out of the studio and to countries like Kenya and Vietnam as a volunteer with non-profit organization, ORBIS. Young went on trips with ORBIS, which flies doctors and optometrists in its ‘flying eye hospital’ to developing countries to perform eye surgeries. It’s a change from the work he does behind the camera in his studio, Kelvin Young Photography, where the focus of the work is weddings and commercial photography. Notable assignments have included the G20 Toronto Summit, the Royal Visit at the Woodbine Race Track during the 2010 Queen’s Plate, and the Beauties of Asia pageant for which he is the 2011 sponsor and principal photographer.Young enjoys the creative side to photography, which allows him to “capture the special moments in people’s lives.” He says Humber taught him keep a balanced view of the industry. “The business side of things is one thing that is almost as important, if not more important, than the creative side.”
Creative Photography, 2010
