***VANITY FAIR*** In honour of last night's #oscars I wanted to share a portrait I took at theroyalfdn 2021 Inspiration Awards. Pictured above is Michael who is an inspiring #mentalhealth advocate in our community and it was a pleasure capturing his portrait. Using markseliger Oscar portraits as inspiration, I wanted to create images of the award winners that were different than the usual "red carpet" imaged that we normally see. My goal in capturing these portraits was to honor each award recipient and the work they've done to break down the stigma surrounding mental illness. #vanityfair #VFOscars #portrait #portraitphotography #portraitmood #portraitphotographer #portraitsession #creativeportraits #cinematic #ottawa #ottawaphotographer #ottawaportraitphotographer #sonyalpha #sigma #sigmacanada
