Behind the Lens: "Living in Torbay means you get to witness the coast changing every single day. Capturing a piece like Over to Vane Hill requires waiting for that perfect, fleeting window at dusk when the harbor lights turn on, but there is still a deep blue velvet tone left in the sky. It is all about capturing the peaceful, magical mood of the town we love."
