Holiday photography often involves cliche portraits in front of iconic landmarks, posed shots with friends and family as well as random images of food, landscapes and animals; that is not the case when it comes to Chantal Anderson's impressive portfolio. Chantal Anderson manages to capture moments that are full of serenity as well as quirkiness, focusing more on personality than anything else.
Splitting her time between Los Angeles, California, and the Pacific Northwest, Chantal Anderson turns her lens to summery images full of colors and sunshine. Often abstract, she concentrates on evocative stills that include people taking off their sweaters, enjoying the freshness of flowers as well as time spent with friends over delicious desserts or in a cool blue pool.
