GALLERY
Lady Death Eye Photography
This is my collection of photographs taken around Vancouver, BC, Canada, where it showcases the local scenes from Chinatown to East Vancouver to New Westminster. This is also a dedication to the community that helped shape throughout history. I used the time during the COVID-19 pandemic to photograph the current trends of today's city. You can check out or follow me on Lady Death Eye Photography. I'm an amateur photographer but I am always looking for people to shoot with for fun
