Though she travels roughly six months out of the year, photographer Britney Gill feels that Vancouver will always be home. “The land feels pure and holds magical space for me to create,” she says. “Nature was my original subject and I think my affinity and obsession with her came from growing up in B.C.”
Family getaways always revolved around the environment, whether it was exploring the woods, the mountains, or the sea. “Nature offers me endless inspiration and has the ability to reset my woes,” Gill says. Here, some of Gill’s favorite scenes of home, where getting lost is as comforting as being found.
