My father, Nathan Gilbert was a professional photographer beginning his career in Toronto in 1922 after arriving from Kiev, Ukraine. My father inspired in my brothers and I a love of creating images and set before us a high standard of excellence. My brother, Al Gilbert, CM, has continued in the photographic field and is recognized nationally and internationally for his unique portrait style. He is often called the Ambassador of Canadian Photography. His list of credits are almost endless. Al has been voted
I, however, took a different route and became a lawyer with a law practice principally in the securities, corporate and business fields. I retired from an active practice in November 1994. However, I maintain a Toronto office and continue to be involved in many entrepreneurial pursuits. At the same time I pursue an active interest in photography.
With the advent of the digital world and digital camera, I decided to create a serious photographic portfolio. This effort has been pursued with the use of a digital camera, a computer, and principally employing a software program called Photoshop. I feel I bring to this process my unique photographic background because of the initial influence of my father and in following the incredible success of my brother's career.
