Toronto Gallery to Exhibit Mystical Portugal
Radkin Photography holds ‘Rain in Portugal’ exhibit at ACA Gallery in Toronto

Native and photographer Richard J. Adkin, of Radkin Photography, brings his “Rain in Portugal” Limited Edition Collection to Toronto this November.
Richard J. Adkin has spent the past decade living and working in Europe. His work is renowned for extreme saturated colours, contrast and a unique artistic perception of contemporary themes and social issues. Richard’s work won a place in the 'Portrait' category of this year's Applied Arts Magazine's Photography/Illustration Annual. This September Richard worked on photography (post production) for the upcoming Steven Spielberg film. Presently in Hungary, Richard is promoting sport and youth through photography with the Hungarian Ice Hockey Federation.

The Rain in Portugal exhibit, running November 23 – December 17, is a series of 10 photos taken on a journey to the western-most point of Europe, near Lisbon, Portugal. Radkin’s unique style of artistic photography captured the mystical feeling of times long since past, experienced amidst stone crosses, walls of moss, history, friendly trees and rain, creating a collection of beautiful and original pieces.
Radkin will donate 50% of the first 2 prints sold at ACA Gallery to a local grassroots organization. On behalf of ACA Gallery, a percentage of every sale will be donated to a humanitarian organization. ART CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.
