PHOTOGRAPHER & ART DIRECTOR, BC

ABOUT ME
SERENA HALEY
PHOTOGRAPHY + ART DIRECTION
BASED IN VICTORIA, BC
Photography has always been a part of me—there’s not a day I remember without a camera in hand. Specializing in analogue and digital photography, I document candid moments and vibrant compositions that tell stories. With a BFA in Visual Arts, I approach each shoot creatively, using light and colour to transform ordinary scenes into something meaningful.
My style is colourful, dreamy, and adventurous—designed to evoke nostalgia while staying innovative. Lately, I’ve been delving into a Renaissance-inspired vibe, drawing on historical aesthetics to craft classic and fresh galleries. Whether I’m preserving the energy of a concert or the romance of a wedding I aim to create images that resonate and tell a story.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting emerging artists and bands. From photographing Victoria-based bands like Shale, Posh Coat, Base Collective, and Idle Lane I immortalize the atmosphere of festivals like Rock the Lake in Kelowna, I love being a part of the music scene. I’ve also photographed rising stars like Boy Golden and Maude Latour, chronicling a tour stop through my lens.
As an educator with a Bachelor of Education, I love sharing my passion for photography and art with the next generation. Teaching keeps me evolving, constantly pursuing new techniques to keep my work modern. When I’m not behind the camera or in the classroom, you’ll find me hiking, camping, or exploring the mountains
