Testimonials

Philip’s proven track record of excellence in photography project delivery has earned him a high percentage of repeat clients.

"I have worked with Philip on many projects and have been blown away with the results each time. He is incredibly talented, flexible and very personable. I was initially looking to find an architectural photographer that could simply capture the galleries at the Bata Shoe Museum - it turned out that Philip could work magic in very dim light. He is a joy to work with and is able to turn content around quickly. I am looking forward to many more projects together."
Sarah Beam-Borg, Exhibitions and Public Programs Manager - Aga Khan Museum

"We found Philip's website when we were searching for an architectural photographer in Toronto and he quickly became a valuable partner. His talent speaks for itself. He has a great eye for detail and always delivers the money shot. What we appreciate even more is how flexible and accommodating he has been to our needs over the years. We almost hate to recommend him. We would rather keep him to ourselves. "

"Several years ago we were impressed by Philip's portfolio both online and in print. After speaking with Mr. Castleton we were convinced to engage him as official photographer of our firm. We have always had terrific feed back from our clients about the professionalism demonstrated by Philip Castleton's teams on site however the end results have been amazing both artistically and archivally for each of our projects. Without hesitation I would recommend Philip Castleton Photography because of the attention to detail, professionalism and of course artistic expressive imagery!"
Drew Hauser-Partner Architect, Stanford Downey Architects
"Philip’s first assignment for Award magazine was a cover shot that received so much positive feedback, it led to the solid working relationship we have today. He does what it takes to get the shot while respecting budgets, deadlines and the possibility of last-minute changes inherent in the business. The strength of his work has given us the opportunity to use the images not only in the context of the magazine, but in signage and other collateral pieces that promote Award."
Laurel MacLean - Art Director, Award magazine
"When I asked around for the name of a great architecture photographer in the area, Philip Castleton was the name that was mentioned again and again. We have worked together now on several projects, and I can expect top notch images every time. To put it simply, Philip is the best. As an artist you need to have "the eye", and you need to master your craft. Philip has done both. He delivers on time and in the formats that I need for our magazine. Philip is a trustworthy partner, and I look forward to our future projects together."
Mike Dunphy-Editor/Publisher, Canadian Architecture and Design Magazine
