Retro Thursday: Spring Love

Conceptual, Eden Robbins 3

1969. “The Summer of Love”. It must have been preceded by “The Spring of Lust”. This spring has either been a long time coming or a “Long Time Gone”. But I think it’s finally here. – |Evolve or Die|

Retro Thursday: Happy 10th Anniversary!

Eden Robbins, Etc., Retro Thursday, Shin Sugino, Sugino Team 1

Do you remember the circumstances when you first met someone? The date? The season? The occasion? This is my tenth year working at the studio, and to mark my decade anniversary, I’d like to share the story of how I met Shin Sugino. Toronto was gearing up for its very first Toronto Festival of Fashion (now known as Fashion Week) at the Metro Convention Centre. The year was 1985 and I was working as a gallery administrator at Jane Corkin [...]

Retro Thursday: Happy Easter!

Conceptual, Eden Robbins, Food & Beverage 0

I’m not much of a religious man, I mean I like the holidays but I can’t stand the racket. I’m also not quite sure what the product is that they are selling. That being said, over the years whenever I see a cross I’m attracted to photographing it. I also had a very interesting piece of toast this morning. Happy Easter. – Eden Robbins

Eden Robbins, Food & Beverage, Rob Quartly, Shin Sugino, Todd McLellan 1

These days, when you walk through the Sugino Studio doors and take a deep breath you’ll smell nothing but…alcohol! Don’t worry, you didn’t miss one of our famous parties, it’s all the beer and spirits shoots we’ve been lucky to do lately. Over the past few months we’ve seen the likes of Diageo, Bud Light, Alexander Keith’s and more set up in our studios. Some work you may have already seen — the rest, well, you’ll have to wait on [...]

Retro Thursday: Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?

Comedy, Eden Robbins, Food & Beverage, People 2

Around 1997 I was assigned by Toronto Life magazine to photograph Michael Carlevale. The Toronto restaurant impresario (Prego, Byzantium, Enoteca) had recently opened his latest venture, Black and Blue. On the menu, STEAK! Of course there was also fine wine and, back in those days, a selection of Cuban cigars to be enjoyed at your table. I met Michael before the shoot at the restaurant and quickly realized two things. One, the notorious Kray Twins were not actually twins but triplets. Carlevale, their [...]

The Best of 2011

Happy New Year Everyone! After a restful holiday, the studio is back up and running in full force. Last week alone we had a wild Telus shoot, a men-in-uniform shoot and beer shoot. Although we have a full schedule and just rang in 2012 we took some time to reflect back on 2011. Thank you to all our clients and production partners for making it such a great year! Enjoy!

Using Our Intuition

Eden Robbins, Food & Beverage, Rob Quartly 2

We were recently asked to shoot both motion and stills for Intuition- a new natural health product. Rob Quartly took the directing reins and Eden Robbins was DOP and stills photographer. See Rob’s comments below and some behind-the-scenes shots. Here’s the final spot. Here are Rob’s comments on the shoot: “This was a great project to be a part of. The core concept is simple – a reveal of the real/natural woman, her true self, underneath overdone fashion/make-up. We [...]

Castaway!

Eden Robbins 0

It’s December and winter is on its way in. Beautiful snow covering evergreen trees, kids cheerfully making forts, and holiday festivities happening all around. What better time to go down south…Huh? Eden Robbins and assistant Al Peacock got the opportunity to escape the declining temperature for a shoot in Miami, Florida. They shot the stills for the new Advil spot. Click here for larger image.

Retro Thursday: My Sweet Lord

Eden Robbins 0

For kids in elementary school Show and Tell can be tough: What should I bring in? Will the other kids think I’m cool? Can I bring in my pet tarantula? Maybe mom or dad will buy me something new! These are just some of the thoughts that go through the minds of kids the day before Show and Tell. During a certain 1984 Show and Tell, Edmonton Oilers then-coach Glen Sather became father of the year, while at the same [...]
