CELEBRITY Photographer
As the go-to photographer for Entertainment Tonight Canada, I specialized in creating striking portraits for social media, media sales decks, print ads, and marketing campaigns; earning trust and ease with high-profile names like Daniel Radcliffe, Sir Ben Kingsley, Carrie Underwood, and Pamela Anderson. Working closely with publicists, I ensured a seamless experience for talent while delivering polished, compelling imagery that resonated across platforms.
Beyond the studio, I brought brands to life through dynamic product and lifestyle photography. Partnering with industry giants like L'Oréal, Shark Beauty, CoverGirl, Maybelline, and SkinCeuticals, I delivered eye-catching visuals tailored for marketing integration, graphic design, broadcast, and beyond.
Whether it’s capturing the essence of a celebrity or elevating a brand’s visual identity, I thrived on creating imagery that told a story and left a lasting impression.

"CLICK AND TELL dives into the shift social media has brought to creativity, influence, and celebrity. It's the conversation everyone wants to hear,"
- Carlos Bustamante.

"Adrian is one of the most talented photographers I’ve ever worked with. He’s incredibly creative, collaborative, and has an amazing eye for detail. He knows how to make you feel comfortable while also encouraging you to step outside your comfort zone. I would highly recommend AOC for your next photoshoot!"
