About Me and My Photography Experience:

French-Canadian professional photographer from Montreal, currently living and working in Shanghai, specialises in corporate/industrial, commercial, product and fashion photography.

My earliest memory of me is when I got my first camera: a little plastic toy that shot water through the lens. I couldn't stop snapping away at people then, and I still can't stop today. I did move on from the plastic water shooter to 35mm SLRs, and finally sold my first photo at 18.

Though I now do mostly commercial and corporate work, my background is in photojournalism. It brought me to travel quite a fair bit, get publish in more countries than I can count and work shoulder to shoulder with the best names in the biz. I try to bring that eye and vision of the world to my commercial work.

Today, I'm settled in Shanghai, China. I've been here for more than 5 years and the adventure continues on a daily basis.

My Photography Equipment:

I use mostly digital SLR equipment - 5D and 1Ds Mark II.
I've grown dependent on PhaseOne and Portfolio - without them I'm lost.
Photoshop still challenges me, but I manage to trick it into thinking I know what I doing every now and again!
