    Default Hello from Canada

    Born in Montreal, I developed my passion for photography throughout my childhood. My first camera was a "Diana". I photographed family gatherings, friends and special occasions. Over time, i tried several mediums, such as painting, graphite, was a member of the circle of painters in Quebec in the 80s


    However photography was always present during trip or family gatherings.The real start was with the birth of digital photography. Having more time for studying technical, it began with a Canon XTI, in 2006, enrolled at the club Photo Repentigny.


    At my first photo competition, i won first place with my red fox portrait. " Then came many other successes that the photo of the year with History swallow. Subsequently I enrolled at APAL Photo Club, and there got too several awards.


    Chosen by the club in 2012 to represent the Interclub challenge Mongeon_Pepin , where all photo clubs participate, I won Best in Show with my photo "La Capture" and the following year two of my photos are winning Best in Show with "Vol de nuit " and the 2 nd place with "Lezard Jesus-Chris du Costa Rica"


    I also won a publication in the magazine Photo Solution. In 2016 I participated to wildlife contest at art league of Cape coral and participate of Audubon Society contest and got second place in both contests


    Photography is one of my passions and is here to stay.


    Here an exemple of my photographic style
