Normand Robert's objective is to reveal the true nature of the object, thus making his subjects appear in a more "accomplished" and "sophisticated manner." Through his lens, we think you'll see the truly stunning nature of this issue's Toronto bathroom (page 24). Since opening his studio in 1998, Normand has been a leading still-life photographer and counts New York Magazine, Wallpaper* and major advertisers like McDonald's as clients. |
