THE PHOTOGRAPHERS
ÉRIVER HIJANO
Graduated in Spring 2010, Érivo Hijano’s work has been published and exhibited in the Americas, Europe
and the United Kingdom. Érivo’s photographs are based upon internal, emotional states panning between
different, often classic styles of imagery. Érivo’s personal work treats the photograph as an empty stage
meticulously constructed by the artist, leaving no room for chance or accident. In this way, his photographs
are uniquely personal, and unavoidably embedded with a characteristic aesthetic aura that appeals to the
viewer independently of its contents.
ARTHUR MOLA
In his fourth year at Ryerson and only 20 years old, Arthur Mola has already photographed many of the
world’s most iconic musicians and actors. The challenge of capturing motion and action as it happens in the
worlds of music and entertainment is his signature. His work has been published in many of the world’s
largest publications including Rolling Stone and Time Magazine, Variety, GQ Magazine, Elle Canada, Flare,
Hello! Canada, The Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail and National Post. Already a veteran photographer of
Toronto Fashion Week and TIFF, Arthur is also a contributing entertainment photographer for Getty
Images, one of the largest photo agencies in the world.
RENÉE MUNN
Originally from Australia and a recent graduate of Ryerson’s School of Image Arts, Renée’s work is a mixed
media, combining historical photographic process, fashion, sculpture and theatre. Her recent body of work
included an examination and reinterpretation of the death scenes from Hamlet, with photographic
illustrations presented as a large-scale collage, composed from multiple large-format negatives printed on
Gelatin silver paper, which are ripped and seamed together and encapsulated in wax. The presentation of
her artwork embodies an expressive use of the photographic medium, with the drapery of fabric and the
gesture of the human figure all designed to create art as an experience.
ANDREW B. MYERS
A recent graduate of Ryerson University, Andrew B. Myers was named one of Canada’s 35 emerging
photographers of 2010 as part of ‘Flash Forward’ and tours internationally. His impressive portfolio already
includes published work in Canadian Geographic Magazine, The Globe and Mail, Report on Business and Air
Canada’s En Route Magazine. Andrew is also the protégé at Westside Studio, one of Canada’s most elite
rosters of advertising photographers.
EUGEN SAKHNENKO
Graduated from Ryerson in Spring, 2010, Eugen Sakhnenko’s work has an urban focus, a product of his
experience living in cities such as Kiev, New York and now Toronto. His images are highly technical and
conceptually driven, photographing people and the spaces they create. The results are consistently
captivating pictures, as confrontational as they are revealing, but all rich in meaning and storytelling that
goes far beyond their initial beauty. Eugen’s photographs often explore urban thematics of access,
technology and contemporary culture, and have been published and exhibited internationally.
ANDREW WILLIAMSON
In his graduate year at Ryerson, Andrew Williamson’s work is a product of his urban culture and habitat. He
often explores technology, cities and the people who make up their fabric. Andrew blends many forms of
technology in the creation of his work, often using sound and video as an addendum to his photographic
expertise, to investigate the urban, and human, experience. A recent example is his work on people and
traffic flow through Dundas Square to create synthesized music in realtime.
