R. Flex - Photoshoot in Toronto

I am really excited to finally get the chance to share this project with you! I got to spend one scorching hot day in Toronto photographing rising star R. Flex against the iconic mural art that is shaping our city.

R. Flex is an R&B singer / songwriter located in Toronto.

They are also a friend and before they were R. Flex and I was freelancing in Toronto, we were in school together and they were spicing up my life with their wit, MAJESTIC VOICE, and slamming it hard at the Poetry Slams I co-ran at school with our mutual friend.

R. Flex Bio

When R. Flex released “Thursday”, it put the flex on Toronto R&B. Singer-songwriter, Ryan Anthony Robinson, not only flipped one of The Weeknd’s signature songs, but turned it into an audacious celebration of queer sex.

Their debut EP In & Out produced two more singles including “Babylonia” and the title track. “In & Out” landed on Spotify’s playlist “To Toronto with Pride” while “Thursday” went on to become a Top 20 finalist at Imsta Festa Toronto. R. Flex’s ability to marry forward-thinking subject matter with electronic R&B became a tour de force that turned heads (more information on their website here).
