Elizabeth Gadd
Elizabeth Gadd is a self-portrait photographer originally from British Columbia, Canada. Known for her ethereal and dreamlike imagery, she combines self-portraits with breathtaking natural landscapes, often spending days in the wilderness to capture the perfect moment. Her work is a meditation on solitude, emotion, and the deep, healing connection between human and nature.
In the autumn of 2024, I had the pleasure of creating alongside Elizabeth during her Whimsical West Coast Retreat in British Columbia. Her ability to merge portraiture with the raw beauty of nature has long inspired my own work, as I, too, feel deeply connected to the elements. Creating with her was a transformative experience—one that reinforced my passion for capturing love and connection with the natural world.

In autumn 2024, I had the honor of learning, creating, and modeling for Kristopher during the Whimsical West Coast Retreat, which he co-hosted with Elizabeth Gadd. His images and karisma had a profound impact on me. His energy, boundless enthusiasm, and fearless creativity are contagious, making the experience truly unforgettable.

I had the privilege of photographing L.C. Gadd during the Whimsical West Coast Retreat in Golden Ears Provincial Park. Watching him embody his character so effortlessly and authentically was truly inspiring. His ability to bring a story to life through movement and expression made every portrait feel like a glimpse into a beautifully crafted tale. I deeply admire his talent and the artistry he brings to every moment.
Holly-Rose Sheridan
Working with Holly-Rose Sheridan for an outdoor portrait session in West Vancouver was nothing short of magical. With her ethereal presence and timeless beauty, she transformed the photoshoot into something straight out of a fairytale. Her ability to embody a character with such grace and depth was truly captivating. I was deeply inspired by her talent for modeling and her rare, novel-like aura, making this collaboration an unforgettable artistic experience.
Flos.Lunae & Carmen Ortega
Flos, based in Montreal, has been an artistic model for five years. A self-taught multidisciplinary artist, she expresses her deep love for art and nature through modeling. As she beautifully puts it, “Art is one of the most profound aspects of being human. Each artistic discipline is a way to bring beauty, healing, and peace into the world.”
With a strong academic background in the arts—including photography, art history, and theater—she has refined her craft, bringing depth and emotion to every collaboration. For Flos, modeling is both a privilege and a dream, allowing her to contribute to the creativity of others in a meaningful way.
Carmen is a professional model born in Mexico and based in the Greater Montreal area. With over 10 years of experience, she specializes in live modeling, artistic nude, portrait photography, and conceptual projects. Equally comfortable in studio settings and outdoor environments, she brings confidence, creativity, and versatility to every collaboration.
Passionate about art in all its forms, Carmen finds inspiration in movement, self-expression, and the human form. For her, modeling is more than a profession—it is a means of creating, connecting, and bringing artistic visions to life.
Working with Flos and Carmen was an inspiring and transformative experience. Meeting them and getting to know them through their art was truly a pleasure. During our photography sessions, I gained a deeper appreciation for the art of posing and the importance of flowing harmoniously to convey emotion and storytelling through movement. Their grace, confidence, and ability to embody artistic expression left a lasting impact on my work. Many of my approaches to directing models and composing poses stem from what I learned while collaborating with them—an experience that continues to shape my creative vision.
