Ian Garrick Mason’s photography is strongly inflected by the styles and perspectives of both documentary filmmaking (a long-time part of his creative practice) and of classical painting.

His imagery is personal and evocative, seeking both to draw out the unique personalities of his models and to enhance the beauty of clothing and jewelry with the ephemeral emotions generated by the stirrings of memory and the fragments of now-vanished dreams.

He has produced work in Paris, London, New York City, Montreal, and Toronto with brands and designers like Olsen Europe, Hakuyo Miya, Amélia Peyron Paris, Haunts Fashion, Chloé Vasta, Raphael de Lacroix, Andrada Bodea, and Niapsou Di, and with agencies like The Lions NY, The Face Paris, Women 360, Elite, EMG, Q Models, d1, NEXT, and Marilyn Agency NYC.

Raised on the east coast of Canada and now living near Toronto, Ian Garrick Mason’s photography is strongly inflected by the styles and perspectives of documentary filmmaking (a long-time part of his creative practice), of photojournalism, and of classical painting.

A former journalist and magazine editor himself, Ian shoots in order to tell human stories, to convey the context in which they take place, and to capture or re-create the kind of authenticity that engages viewers and calls up associations they may not consciously perceive—but which move them all the same.

Ian has produced images for a wide range of designers, agencies, and brands in Toronto, Montreal, New York City, Paris, and London. He is an avid rucker and, occasionally, a rallycross driver.
