Toronto, ON — Coin 8, the vintage-inspired photography and film studio recently opened it's doors to Torontonians for an open call Retro Picture Day Event.

Founded and designed by Nicola Yardy, Coin 8 is not your average production studio. Located in the Stock Yards, Toronto, Coin 8 is a daydream of vintage studio. Featuring a 100-year-old grand piano, colourful period furniture, and an array of vintage props, Yardy, crafted the studio’s aesthetic by hand-picking and arranging unique second-hand vintage pieces from all-over southern Ontario.
"The name "Coin 8" is inspired by the 8 of Pentacles Tarot card" said Yardy, "which symbolizes, dedication, persistence, and sacrifices needed on the road to mastery.
This card embodies our commitment to providing a creative, inspiring and unjudgemental space where artists can diligently hone their skills and achieve excellence in their craft."

The recent Picture Day event invited people from all corners of Toronto to experience the magic of Coin 8. Participants were treated to individualized sessions, where Yardy’s expert touch in lighting, and their collection of vintage backdrops, brought out the best in each subject.
