focal Point Pics

Toronto based Photography by charles Russell

I’m a portrait and event photographer with a passion for capturing people at their most genuine—whether that’s a quiet family moment, a milestone celebration, or a simple, striking portrait. I focus mainly on portraits, family sessions, and event photography, but I’m always open to creative collaborations, including brand photography. My goal is to create images that feel natural, timeless, and uniquely you.

I am drawn to portrait photography that captures genuine emotion and personality. I love working with people and aim to create images that feel both natural and striking. Whether it’s a candid moment or a composed shot, my goal is to tell your story through every frame.

Portraits

Family

To me, family photos are more than just snapshots — they’re little moments in time. I love capturing those everyday moments that might seem small now but mean so much later. I’m not about perfection; I’m about what feels real. Your family story is always evolving, and I’m here to help you freeze those honest moments in time.

Events move quickly — and I thrive on capturing real moments as they happen. From milestone celebrations to quiet exchanges in the chaos, I focus on the energy, emotion, and details that make each one unforgettable

Events

What I love about landscape photography — it’s not just about capturing what a place looks like, it’s about trying to make you feel like you are there.

street

Street photography is about capturing unscripted moments in everyday life. I love grabbing moments in the ordinary—quick glances, quiet gestures, and the energy of people moving through the world.

Some photos don’t really fit into one box — and that’s kind of the point. This is a mix of street portraits, dogs being dogs, and a few food shots I staged just for fun (and practice). It’s where I get to try new things, stay creative, and capture whatever catches my eye.
