My name is Raph Nogal and I'm a professional photographer in Etobicoke, Mississauga, Toronto, and the GTA. I'm also known as an Etobicoke photographer as I live in the South Etobicoke area of the GTA. My photo studio is also in Etobicoke, near the border between Mississauga and Toronto. I work as a commercial and editorial / lifestyle photographer; which includes work as a headshot photographer, event photographer, product photographer, and portrait photographer in Toronto and the surrounding areas, as well as worldwide. I recently introduced Studio Dog Portraits here in our studio, which is super exciting! I have been a professional photographer since 2009 and I'm considered to have a well-rounded portfolio of work - providing fresh and interesting images to my clients.

Headshots for LinkedIn or websites are what we do every week. We do individual headshots as well as team photos.
Business headshots are more important today than ever before. With social media and platforms like LinkedIn, you need to look your best and represent your brand accurately. I provide business headshots for advertising, business reports, various submissions, and other business purposes.

I enjoy working with other businesses and creatives in a team environment where the creative director, stylist, and talent combine forces to create the client's vision. From products to lifestyle images, I'm happy to discuss your next commercial project.
A great PR image or a follow-up newsletter showcasing your successful corporate event can really show the participants, sponsors, and business partners why they need to be there next time! I've photographed many corporate events in the city and have a team of experienced event photographers that can really bring out the sparkle in your next corporate event - be it galas, general meetings, launches, announcements, award nights, Holiday parties, or other celebrations.

Currently, I'm taking on only a very limited number of weddings. As a top Toronto wedding photographer, I work with couples looking for unique and creative wedding photos, as well as natural and candid pictures for their wedding and engagement. I provide beautiful, dramatic, award-winning images, time and again and provide an experience that puts clients first. One of the things that makes my photography unique is that is inspired by fashion and fine-art. I love incorporating the editorial feel of fashion magazines into my wedding photography, while staying true to the emotion and rawness of the wedding day itself.
The love story of your wedding day and the moments that happen on the big day cannot be re-done. As an experienced photographer since 2009, I know the importance of candid photos and making sure those natural moments are captured for our brides and grooms. As one of the leading wedding photographers in the greater Toronto area, I make sure to be at the right place and at the right time to capture those candid, photojournalistic pictures.

I-AM-NOT-A-RO-BOT...That's right, I'm not a robot :) but I did come from the environmental/enginnering industry... after completing an Hon.Bachelor of Science degree from York University, I worked as an environmental scientist and project manager for a consulting company for about 7 years. In 2007 I discovered photography. In 2009 I started a part-time photography business and in 2013 I left the consulting life to pursue something more creative... and what a journey it has been. Working as a professional photographer has been extremely rewarding. I am so thrilled that I'm able to run a photography studio, which I am so passionate about, and also offer various types of photography work, such as headshots, portraits, products, and event photography.
