PETER GUNN is a Canadian, studio-based
photographer working in beauty and fashion. Finding a balance between rigorous
magazine-style edits and subtle retouching,
Gunn’s portraiture features realistic belles.
“I steer myself towards creative lighting and
post-processing,” said Gunn.
In his portrait of local model Allison Genovese, an intimately tight shot encapsulates her
softly lit face. With subtle gold flecks glinting
from Genovese’s skin, Gunn manages the glitz
and glamour of fashion photography with a
minimalist approach to editing. Adding a mere
“clean retouch” to the image, Gunn strove for
“balance” by keeping natural features, like
Genovese’s flyaways, in the final product.

mostly in Mississauga, a backstage look into
