Seen In Vancouver #371: Virginie & Bastien Go Looking For Point Grey With Fresh Eyes

Virginie Lamarche and Bastien Desfriches Doria are two photographers from France currently hosting awesome film photography workshops in Vancouver. They’re also exploring/shooting our neighbourhoods with the fresh eyes of keen imports. Bastien uses black and white films in various formats while Virginie focuses on colour negative films. For their third Seen In Vancouver session with Scout, they ventured around the West Side hood of Point Grey (see also Strathcona and The Drive).
