Photographer Othello Grey is Taking Over Toronto - A good photo "I think it's subjective."

For the past 5 years, Grey has developed (pun intended) from being the token documentarian among his friend-group to the city's go-to collaborator for all things editorial. His work has taken him from his hometown to the Dominican Republic and back again, and seen him shoot from SSENSE to Vogue. 

On set of Moose Knuckles' Fall '18 campaign (shot by Grey), the photographer talks about the key to his success, claiming that while he benefited from riding the wave of Drake in the digital age, he prioritizes passion over financial success. This, Grey says, has propelled his career much faster than diving into the commercial deep-end. In the process, he has had to contend with a fair number of imitators, but he is intent on pulling up and putting on those around him — in fact his direct messages are always open.
