Stories with a point of view.

Laura Rossi shoots editorial and lifestyle work for publications that want frames with an opinion: city stories, features, portraits of people mid-life rather than mid-pose. Her work has appeared in The Globe and Mail and Toronto Life, and her city archive gets licensed when a story needs Toronto to look like itself.

Editors get a photographer who scouts before the day, files to deadline with captions in place, and leaves room in the frame for the headline.

Good to know

Can magazines commission original stories?

Yes. Editors can commission portraits, photo essays and lifestyle features across Toronto, or license from the existing archive when the deadline is yesterday. Laura's editorial work has run in The Globe and Mail and Toronto Life. Email laura@sp-ce.co with the brief.

Does Laura shoot on assignment for magazines?

Yes. She takes editorial assignments across Toronto for magazines, newspapers and digital publications, with rates following standard editorial terms. Send the story, subject and deadline to laura@sp-ce.co and she'll confirm availability the same day.

Can publications license existing work?

Yes. The Toronto archive, city, event and documentary work spanning a decade, is available for editorial licensing. Email the subject or frame you're after and where it will run for a quick licensing quote.

What makes her lifestyle work different?

It's shot like documentary with editorial craft: real people in real light, waited out rather than staged. Subjects who hate being photographed are a specialty, which editors tend to discover is most subjects.

For editors
