About
I am an Automotive photographer based in eastern Canada - working between Toronto and Halifax. I specialize in capturing fresh, authentic automotive advertising images in natural locations for a wide variety of clients across North America.
Over the last 10 years I mainly photographed architecture but I was recently asked to shoot a small project for Audi which I enjoyed so much that that I set to build an automotive portfolio.
I work in an efficient, decisive manner, with an acute ability to cancel out the noise and confusion when working under pressure. I have a full time assistant, a crucial second set of eyes and opinion for any project.
In my 30+ years in photography I have done studio work, fashion & lifestyle location shoots in many countries and enjoyed a long career in snowboarding with images published in British Vogue, GQ, Esquire and many more.
Born and raised in northern England I relocated to Canada in 2011 and become a citizen in 2017. Life is great.
Past clients include Audi, Kawasaki, Tim Hortons, Canadian Tire, Samsung, Canadian Wildlife Federation, Santiago Calatrava, Snøhetta, Burton Snowboards, New York Times Company, KPMG, Parks Canada, Bell Studios, Telus Studios, Greenpeace, Sobeys, Sportchek, Cadillac Fairview, Air Miles, CBC

Julian Parkinson advertising photographers
Born and raised in Manchester, England, Julian grew up to a backdrop of BMX, skateboarding and snowboarding and became one of Europe’s first snowboard photographers through the 80s/90s, photographing rise of snowboarding with images in magazines such as British Vogue, GQ and FHM.
After a long 'diversion' running his award-winning design agency, Julian and his family relocated to Canada in 2011 where he built a reputation for photographing architecture, catching the eye of Santiago Calatrava which catapulted his photography career to new heights.
Julian was invited to shoot a project for Audi Magazine featuring one of Canada’s most influential residential architects, Omar Gandhi, from that day he was hooked on automotive photography.
Authenticity is at the heart of his photographic style, with a tasteful amount of production value to make it special, and if a project has a mix of car and architecture, he gets very excited about those possibilities.
Julian is equally at home filming and directing motion and has shot content for Kawasaki, Tim Hortons, Canadian Tire, Samsung, Sportchek, and more.

Toronto: Julian Parkinson
Born and raised in Manchester, England, Julian grew up to a backdrop of BMX, skateboarding and snowboarding and became one of Europe’s first snowboard photographers through the 80s and 90s. He photographed the birth and rise of snowboarding with images in British Vogue, GQ, FHM, and others. After a long 'diversion' owning an award-winning UK design agency, Julian and his family relocated to Canada in 2011 where he built a reputation for photographing architecture, catching the eye of Santiago Calatrava which catapulted his photography career to new heights.
Before the pandemic, Julian was invited to shoot a project for Audi Magazine featuring one of Canada’s most influential residential architects, Omar Gandhi. He enjoyed the shoot so much, he decided to add automotive photography to his offerings.
Authenticity is at the heart of his photographic style, with enough production value to make it special, but not so much that an image isn’t believable - a simple mantra. If a project has a mix of car and architecture, he gets pretty excited about those possibilities.
Julian is equally at home filming and directing motion, and has shot and directed content for an array of Canadian commercials for Kawasaki, Tim Horton’s, Canadian Tire, Samsung, Sportchek and more.
