When someone allows me to take a photo of them, I like to burst into their bubble by getting very close to them. It breaks the masks that most of us tend to put on when the lens is pointed in...

Two years ago, my friends from the band The Damn Truth released their second album: Devilish Folk. The song that's also titled "Devilish Folk" jumped out to my ears. And to my heart.

I've always enjoyed using my camera to capture little snippets of life that usually unravel without anybody noticing them. Recently, I figured I could very well share those tiny stories in the same manner that journalists tell the stories that make up...

One doesn't always have change to spare, but when someone reaches their hand out, the least anyone can give, is a smile. This is how all the interactions I have with people panhandling start. With a smile.

As much as I love Montreal, there's one thing that I really hate about my city (and that's actually the case for most Montrealers): the ongoing, never ending construction. The orange cone is Montreal's most iconic object. "Rue Barré" could the...

When I got back from one week in Togo, I had over 1000 pictures to review, edit and sort. I went there with an NGO called Cyclo Nord-Sud, which collects unused bikes in Québec (Canada) and ships them to developing countries,...

I love my girlfriend, and I’m a photographer, so I love to take pictures of my girlfriend, right? Problem is, she hates to be photographed: whenever I raise my camera and point it at her, she finds a way to hide...

I never planned to become a photographer. It just sort of happened. I was working as a brand strategist at the time, but I didn’t like working in a big company and so one day I decided to quit. I had...

A few weeks ago I posted a series of photographs of couples 'making love' in public places and got a very positive response. So I figured I'd keep at it! At the time, I used to only shoot couples I ran into...

I heard someone say recently “A cat is useless.” But an animal, whatever it may be, doesn't have to be of any use. Man is not above animals, it simply shares the same planet, nothing more.
