We Are Nova Scotia

100 Portraits by Anne Launcelott

Anne Launcelott is doubly gifted. She has a great eye and creates beautiful photographs. She also has the gift of getting her subjects to take off their masks and relax. They can sense that her interest in them is genuine – not fleeting or superficial, and they trust her.

The result is Anne’s opus magnus – a gorgeous, intimate collection of portraits of real Nova Scotians, taken over a two year period, during a pandemic. From musicians to fishermen, shopkeepers to politicians – We Are Nova Scotia is a celebration of who we really are – an honest rendering of the diverse human fabric of Canada’s Ocean Playground. To see ourselves – Launcelott has left us a
profound gift.
