The Everyday of Life

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.

Photographer

Annie Tong

In recent years Annie Tong has explored different themes within documentary-style portraiture. Until recently Annie was the photographer for Sinai Health in Toronto Canada, spending most of her time behind the camera photographing essential workers throughout a network of health care facilities.

Annie has always been intrigued by the beauty of the ordinary, and has always looked to ‘the everyday of life’ for her inspiration. Whether as a traveler seeking to understand a day in the life of others, or in her role as a health care photographer seeking to reveal the ordinary elements of otherwise extraordinary circumstances of life, her photography strives to be both uneventful and familiar, celebrating the beauty of everyday life.
