Interested in digital photography?
Take Three is a 10 week program that explores how Black artists across generations visualize, define and showcase Black aesthetics in photography. Participants will work alongside visual artist Nyaomi to develop their technical skills and learn how to visually storytell using the medium of digital photography.
Using the skills and techniques learnt, Nyaomi will guide participants in creating a photography series that tells their own story.
Take Three will conclude in an exhibition, where participants will have the opportunity to exhibit their developed images in our galleria at our newly renovated facility at 524 Oakwood Avenue.

Nyaomi is an artist from Toronto with experience shooting and exhibiting in North and South America. Her artistic practice can be defined as personal narratives that explore subjectivity, the body and challenging issues. She aims to bring awareness to what’s been repressed and show alternative ways of thinking.
In recent years, she has worked with Nike, Airbnb, WeWork, Maclean’s, LinkedIn, and more. Inspired by her thesis–research on depression as a form of communication and catalyst for self-renewal–she continued creating with transformation in mind. Nyaomi has since expanded into textiles to further explore the connections between our mental health, our environment and the power of creating something tangible. She is an OCAD University graduate with years of experience as a freelance photographer, entrepreneur, and facilitator.
In short, Nyaomi is an artist who continues to find ways to combine her passion to create with her interests in health and wellness. In all that she does, she hopes to inspire transformation.
