Behind the lens: the global impact of TMU alumni in photography

On August 19, photographers will be honoured for their artistry and influence on society, culture and communication. World Photography Day stands as a testament to the enduring impact of this visual medium.

To commemorate this annual occasion, we’re spotlighting Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) alumni who are making their mark as photographers in Canada and internationally.

Join the global celebration by sharing your own photography on social media, using hashtags #TMUAlumni and #WorldPhotographyDay.
