Founded in 2006 in Montreal, Canada, Lumenpulse is one of the worldwide leader in the field of lighting. I had the pleasure to work with them in Ottawa last year for a project at Constitution Square in Ottawa. For this specific assignment, I was asked to photograph the Riverside Bridge in Toronto. Built in 1911 and known originally as the Queen Street Viaduct, Lumenpulse worked on creating illumination for the truss-style steel structure.
This type of assignment is really exciting for me as it involves taking pictures at my favorite time...
What I love about working with magazines is that they allow me to discover places I didn't know about and meet men and women I wouldn't have met otherwise. When Beer Advocate magazine contacted me for a new assignment, I was thrilled as it would allow me to discover a bit more how beer is done and how each brewery makes beer its own.
I love arriving early on assignments, it allows me to take in what I see around me. This time was no exception...
When most people want to get away from work, they go on a vacation somewhere, maybe to a place just like Venice beach. However, as a photographer, I see each trip as a way to capture new places and people and to develop my portfolio.
This is why, after I was done with a contract in Las Vegas, I decided to drive up to Los Angeles for a few days.

A few months ago, I had the pleasure to have been commissioned to photograph the Novotel Hotel in Montreal. Hotel photoshoots are among my favorite assignments as they mix lifestyle and interior photography.
One of the challenges of this shoot was to make sure to follow the guidelines from the client and produce slightlty overexposed high key images with some blown highlights.
Gear-wise, most of the interior photos were taken with a 24mm Tilt Shift lens and most of the lifestyle pictures were taken using a Nikkor...
One of the most stressful/challenging element as an architectural photographer is getting the "right" weather, especially when shooting exteriors. Things get even more complicated when planned shoot takes place in winter and weather becomes a little unpredictable, especially in Canada.
Having been commissioned by TACT Design & Architecture to photograph the Trafalgar Landing - Great Gulf Sales Centre in Oakville, I really wanted to make sure I got as many opportunities as possible to get the best light. For that reason, I drove up to the...
I'm pleased to share with you these covers from PhotoLife and Photosolutions magazine of Dec/Jan 2016 featuring two pictures related to an article I wrote about winter photography.
Once again Thanks to Valerie Racine, Guy Langevin and all the staff of Apex Publishing for giving me that opportunity.
Thanks for viewing!

A few months back, I was commissioned to photograph this remarkable house by Tact Design. At the time, the house wasn't yet furnished. So, I was excited when I got the call that telling me that I would be capturing the interiors as well. I was lucky enough to have the shoot scheduled at the best time of the year, during fall, which made the pictures even more spectacular. For this assignment, pictures were taken by a Nikon D800 equipped with a 24mm Tilt Shift...
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure to be comissioned to shoot the portrait of Kate McCue, the first female captain of a Megaton Cruise ship for a "Get That Life" feature for Cosmopolitan Magazine.
Although it was a challenge to get on board and get access to the boat and get the right images for the feature in less than 30 min, it was a blast to have the opportunity to capture the first day of the captain and to follow her around in the...
It seems that Las Vegas is slowly becoming my second home with two assignments there during this year. Having worked with ARK Vegas in the past, it was a pleasure to oblige when they asked me to shoot their newly redecorated restaurant, the Yolos Mexican grill.
This time was a bit different from last time as we started with some food photography before moving onto more classic commercial interiors photography.
Just like last time, the assignment was exciting and challenging, however the client's help and feedback was invaluable.
