Eves Of Destruction | Roller Derby in Victoria, BC

Not only had I never photographed a roller derby match…but I had never even seen one before!! That all changed this month when I had the pleasure of photographing Eves of Destruction’s Capital City Chaos Tournament in Victoria, BC!!

Now, I’ve always admired roller derby pals, but holy moly the sport is filled with tough, strong folks who are filled with so much kindness!

I definitely recommend going to a roller derby game if you have the chance! Without further ado, a few images I documented, let me know what you think!
