Bring your kids, a camera and a few of your favourite outfits to capture this space before it’s gone!
CHROMA
If you’ve been following my blog and Instagram than you know that I love seeking out fresh new colourful places to take photographs. I have started a new hashtag #pursuingprettywalls to curate my collection of fun walls. When I was invited to see the launch of CHROMA, I was so excited to see that Southcentre Mall did an amazing job of celebrating local artists and creators. It’s such a cool way to get people out to see this temporary pop-up and appreciate the talent that we have in our city! From balloons, macramé, geometric murals, giant Lego blocks to neon signs, this installation does not disappoint!
True to my craft, I headed over to Southcentre with a suitcase full of outfits and my photographer gal pal Jessica Gray of @jgrayphotography. We had a blast capturing all the different looks and walls over a 2-hour period! Zip down to check it out before it’s departure on June 16th.
