I met Cailleah in 2014 while she was crowdfunding her documentary “SHE GOT GAME“ A tale about the search for empowered women who are changing the social climate of video game culture. Intrigued with the project I volunteered to help with some photography. Several years later we’re still working together!
When she’s not shooting, you can find her dead-lifting at the gym, jamming with Beatsync Acappella or curled up with her Japanese comic books.
She wanted some photos to promo herself as an artist, something cool and edgy!
you can find her @ http://www.cailleahscottgrimes.ca/
