Elle Canada Soft Start 2026

Description

This image, captured by photographer Royal Gilbert for the Elle Canada project titled Soft Start, features a woman walking away from the camera down a city street. She is dressed in an oversized, long tan coat with a white collar visible underneath, and she carries a large dark brown structured handbag by her side. Her long, curly brown hair flows down her back as she steps across a marked crosswalk. The background shows traditional European-style building facades with pale walls and white-trimmed windows, along with vertical street bollards lining the pavement. The composition uses natural daylight and a slightly warm color grading, giving it a candid, journalistic editorial feel.
