I’ve decided to start the new personal project where I recreate photoshoots around mythical creatures! It will be a twelve Photoshoot projects 👀

With our trip planned to Halifax, I couldn’t resist it! I needed to shoot the Selkie by the Ocean, the Maritimes ✨we had to wake up at 6am to make it to Peggy’s cove in time to catch some nice sun and make sure the place was still empty enough for us! The whole drive there I did only play Mermaids by Florence + the Machines

I remember growing up with the myth of the Selkie and the stories of their seal skins being stolen and hidden away. Stuck in unhappy marriages, always longing for the sea. They are depicted as beautiful, kind but dangerous. I’ve always been fond of them. The desire to go back home and be with your community ✨ but also the curiosity of exploring the world and how strange it can be-

I hope you enjoy this shoot! I feel like I’ve been improving a ton at this editing thing and I am so happy with how these turned out! This project is very personal to me so I hope you are as excited as me to see more!
