People of Toronto: Street Photography in the World’s Most Diverse City (Part 1)

Posted: August 22, 2026 by Ovi

Home to more than 230 nationalities, Toronto is one of the most diverse cities in the world. You can experience cultures from around the globe without traveling to distant countries. Chinatown, Greektown, Little Italy, Koreatown, Little India, and Little Portugal are just a few of the city’s vibrant neighborhoods, each with its own unique lifestyle, cuisine, traditions, and festivals—making them ideal locations for street photography.

People of Toronto is a two-part series featuring photographs taken over an eight-year period using Sigma DP series cameras.

“The fact that over 50 per cent of the residents of Toronto are not from Canada, that is always a good thing, creatively, and for food especially. That is easily a city’s biggest strength, and it is Toronto’s unique strength.” – Anthony Bourdain
