Annie Tong

“The Everyday of Life” is a photography project that searches for the beauty of everyday life in places we all too often forget to look. The project is intended to act as a counterweight to the newsworthy images that bombard us daily with the unfortunate circumstances of others who are caught in the context of global tragedies and extraordinary events. While it is important to bear witness to these events and hardships —and to do what we can to make life better for everyone—it is equally important to look beyond the hardships and to discover everyday beauty everywhere it lives. 

“The Everyday of Life” is a photography project in search of the ordinary, looking for people at ease in their lives even when their lives may not be easy.

A graduate of Sheridan College in applied photography, Annie Tong lives and works in Toronto as a professional photographer. Annie’s photographic work explores a variety of themes within documentary-style portraiture. Intrigued by the beauty of the ordinary, Annie looks to “the everyday of life” for her inspiration. Whether as a traveler seeking to understand a day in the life of others, or as a healthcare photographer in search of ordinary life in otherwise extraordinary circumstances, her photography strives to be both uneventful and familiar.
