Finn O’Hara was born in London, England and raised in Inglewood, a small rural town north of Toronto.
After studying English Literature at Bishop’s University in Quebec he moved to Toronto, where he began
his photographic career through working as an assistant to more established local and international
photographers, but his first introduction to photography was through his father, a former Kodak employee.
Finn’s environmental portraits begin with the trappings of any given situation. The surrounding site is a
significant player in his photographs, as are the experiences and the personalities who live or inhabit the
space itself.
Clients include Arts and Crafts, British Airways, Porter Airlines, Condé Nast Traveler, Esquire, The Guardian
Weekend Magazine, and Wallpaper.
