Etobicoke / Toronto Professional Photographer
I'm Raph Nogal, a professional photographer in Etobicoke, proudly serving Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). I'm also known as an Etobicoke photographer as I live in South Etobicoke. With a fully equipped photo studio in Etobicoke, conveniently located near the Toronto–Mississauga border, I specialize in commercial photography, corporate photography, and editorial lifestyle portraits.
As an experienced Etobicoke photographer and Toronto commercial photographer, my services include professional headshots, corporate portraits, branding and lifestyle photography, event photography, and product photography. I’ve been a full-time professional photographer since 2009, working with clients locally across the GTA and internationally.
My goal is to deliver clean, creative, and compelling images that are both impactful and authentic. With a well-rounded and versatile portfolio, I help businesses, professionals, and brands stand out through powerful visual storytelling.

Corporate Headshot Photography Etobicoke
As a headshot photographer in Toronto, I have an opportunity to meet and photograph some of Canada's top business owners, CEOs and executives, professionals, entrepreneurs, and people from within the arts.
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.

Human Being & Photographer
I-AM-NOT-A-RO-BOT... That’s right—I’m a real human! 😄 My photography journey wasn’t exactly traditional. I actually started out in the environmental and engineering world. After earning an Honours Bachelor of Science degree from York University, I spent about seven years working as an environmental scientist and project manager in consulting.
Then, in 2007, something unexpected happened—I discovered photography. What began as a passion quickly grew into something much bigger. By 2009, I launched my photography business part-time, and in 2013, I made the leap, leaving the corporate world behind to pursue creativity full-time.
Since then, it’s been an incredible ride. Being a professional photographer has been deeply fulfilling, and I feel incredibly fortunate to do what I love every day. Running my own studio has allowed me to explore and offer a wide range of photography services, including headshots, portraits, product photography, and event coverage.
