I was also featured in The Luupe’s Instagram feed. They did a call out for self-portraits of their members so I submitted. This group is an amazing one for women working in commercial photography and I am so proud to be featured.

Remember that book I spoke about in my last post? The one I said is inspiring me, the author writes a weekly blog and I wanted to share it with you. It is so good!

I have been working on a long term photo project since 2021. . Recently over coffee with a friend I figured out the goal behind it. I finally named it. Originally I was giving myself the goal of taking photos everyday and then I thought about the place photography has in my life, how it makes me feel. . I knew what I wanted the viewer to feel when they see the series. . You know that feeling of peace when you are in a room with someone and you don’t speak. The silence becomes a comfort that you may not share with anyone else. . Alone together in a room. . . . These images are a collection of iPhone photos and may not make the final cut. I will share the full project in time. . #photoproject #longterm #moments #sharingsilence #comfortable #story #aphotoadaykeepsthedoctoraway #vanccouverisawesome #vancouverphotographer

I have been working on a long term photo project since 2021. This is one of the images I submitted to the Italian Vogue - Photo Vogue portal and it was accepted. . I submit every week by staying up past 11 on Sunday, the submission portal is only open for a few hours each week. I plan my submissions and keep an active folder on my desktop. I haven’t had an image accepted since 2022. . The link to my Photo Vogue portfolio is in my bio. .

I just found these in my archives. . I just checked my entire feed on instagram and they were never posted. They were published in Vigour magazine, in print, I have the copy. . March 2015, shot in Toronto in my home studio. I lived above an Italian restaurant at Yonge and Eglington. The space was huge and I had a skylight. I could hear the people at the restaurant sing happy birthday. It was adorable. . This editorial was created with @tmesseng and edited by @kehli_g our MUA was Erica who doesn’t have social media anymore. . I feel pretty lucky to still be doing this a decade later and I intend on continuing into the next one and the next. I love my job. I see the world through a lens, I have since I was 12 and my stepfather gave me my first camera. RIP Dan, thank you for all you did for us, we loved you so. . . . #editorialphotography #fashionphotography #creator #makersgonnamake #creativedirector #artdirector #stylist #vancouverfashionphotographer #womeninphotography #yvrphotographer #CommercialPhotography #VancouverIsAwesome #DeannaFlinnPhotography InTheLuupe @girlgaze
