Art + Design Studio 🇨🇦
First Photo Here is an Instagram-based project that showcases stories behind first photos taken by new arrivals in Canada. A joint collaboration with the National Film Board and our collective studio.
The launch film for #FirstPhotoHere was the first project we shot and produced during lockdown. So proud of how our team pivoted our original concepts, came together, and created such a beautiful piece to share the important stories behind the first images folks took when they relocated here.
