Chrissy

2023
Written By Janie hao

Chrissy is a downtown roller derby girl who harnesses light to produce appetizing product and still life photography. She is passionate about infusing her work with a vintage feeling, which stems from time she spent with her nonna as a child and is now anchored in the gritty, nostalgic vibe of her city — Hamilton. With a keen eye for styling, Chrissy loves emphasizing narrative and atmosphere in her imagery through propping, energetic lighting, and crunchy colour.
