Photographer: Richard Gibbs

I love working with these photographers, make-up artists, etc. It is exhilarating to be part of a creative team, and watch the result of a group effort.

Richard is amazing. He has a refined taste, we bounce off ideas, and he picks great angles. A true artist. Of course, and Ottawa Fashion Week photographer, sommelier par-excellence, what does one expect. He is also fun and great to work with.
