entry description
These 5 photographs are part of a series, on cities as scenes where our lives take place. These 5 photographs were taken in Montréal, Canada, where one can find a large diversity of scenes, in the last few months; all of these photographs depicts different settings, for different moments in our livres, or different people to express their individuality. People are absent of these photographs, on purpose; only one was taken after the lockdown to limit the spread of the coronavirus was enforced.about the photographer
I have been photographing since I was a teen, after I discovered, with the help of my father, the power of photography. I learned to photograph using film, and developed and printed in both B+W and colour (from slides). I abandoned photography for many years, and came back recently, when digital cameras and printers were introduced, and capable. I am still photographing on film, sometimes instant film, but I mostly work with a digital camera. I am mostly self-taught, but I had the chances to take inspiring courses and workshops (in Cobourg, Montréal, Percé, Rockport) that gave me a better understanding of what photography is, of what it means, and how to bring out my vision.back to gallery
