About Me

Scott Murdoch • Photographer

Hi, I’m Scott, a Toronto-based freelance photographer. Of all the ingredients that go into a photoshoot, there’s one that’s most important: helping a subject to feel comfortable in front of the camera. My genuine enthusiasm for photography and being a people-person make this my daily ambition; it's what I'm best at. Whether it's one-on-one or for a corporation, connecting with people and creating authentic images is what motivates me.

“I run a design studio that focuses mainly on corporate branding. A huge part of my client base often requires professional photographs to compliment their new branding. If we don’t have great photos it — doesn’t matter how good my branding looks. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to my clients that wouldn’t manage them with the same level of care and enthusiasm I would. Over the years, Scott has become my go-to for all my clients. I always know they will be happy with the level of service and professionalism Scott brings to his shoots. Making someone feel comfortable in front of the camera is super important. Scott does this in aces. He’s got a special talent in knocking down those barriers to make everyone feel great. In the end always capturing the best, most professional photos my clients can be proud of. As a result, making my job much easier and enjoyable when we put it all together.”
- Marlo Biasutti RGD, Creative Director & Graphic Designer
"Getting my headshots done with Scott was as relaxed and fun as hanging out in the park for the afternoon with a good buddy (who was also a consummate professional) even though we had just met in person that day. I think that's the reason that I felt so pleased with the end result- my favourite headshots ever! Thank you Scott!"
- Kirstin Hinton, Actor
