Meet Kenya Mathlin

A Toronto-based event photographer

A dynamic photographer focused on creating images that feel as vibrant, energetic, and authentic as the moments themselves. My photography is defined by deep, bold colours, striking composition, and crisp detail. Capturing the atmosphere and emotion of an event while creating visuals that stand out. Whether it’s a red carpet, concert, festival, brand activation, or private event, I approach every shoot with a focus on quality and storytelling.

With 5 years of experience in accreditation at the Toronto International Film Festival

In honour of Black History Month, last month I joined “The Journey to Black Liberation & Symposium” @jtbliberation to help capture the 4th annual 4-day celebration. My role as the official photographer and social media manager was to showcase the events start to finish. Including starting the social media page and creating all the digital content. The events involved movement workshops, plenaries, conversation and balls. The events celebrated Blackness, movement, love and liberation. 🪩 Special thanks to @brandonhay8 and the team that organized all the events! Was a pleasure to work with you #torontophotographer #torontoevents #eventphotography #photography
