Hey there! My name is Margaret Cornell Kirk, and I'm a recent graduate from Ontario College of Art and Design University, earning my Bachelors of Fine Art in Photography. I’m from a pretty incredible city called Toronto-- that never fails to consistently keep my creative juices flowing. While I do love to photograph the vibrate city I live in and the people to match, I also favour challenging the world between fine art and commercial photography.
Photographing people in their natural environment, or capturing breathtaking spaces and experiences is a huge passion of mine-- and considerably the core foundation to my love and knowledge of photography.
