inside her head

I did this shoot just a few hours before I left Victoria for home. It was a quick session, only about thirty minutes long, but I am really happy with what Ella and I created. Ella is such a great girl and I really enjoyed working with her. This is my first entirely black and white series... and I definitely want to do it again. Ella's hair has such an amazing range of tones so it translates into black and white really well.

We shot by the water in Esquimalt—a place where I have never really been despite living in Victoria for almost two years. There were so many heritage houses in that area and I couldn't help but daydream about how incredible it would be to shoot in one of those homes. That being said, the path along the ocean where we shot was equally beautiful. It really made me realize that I never spent much time exploring Victoria, despite being completely in love with the city. There are inspiring locations everywhere just waiting to be discovered. This is my reminder to keep my eyes open and find them, no matter where I am.
