I'm pleased to share with you the covers from the PhotoLife and PhotoSolution magazines featuring my photos of Toronto skyline and Montreal Skyline highlighting an article I wrote about urban skylines photography.
The process of writing is an exciting one. Finding the right approach of sharing my knowledge is a challenging one but rewarding in the end. If you've read the article, feel free to share your thoughts and your own tips.
I would also take that occasion to thank Valerie Racine and all the staff of...

The last weeks have been crazy busy shooting for various new clients in architecture and travel and while I was in Ottawa for a series of architectural photography assignments, I set my mind of finding a few fun projects to shoot for my portfolio.
Looking on Google I happen to notice that a new building by Diamond Shmitt and KWC architects had been completed a few months ago and as I was driving back to the hotel, I just realized that I had passed by the...
Finally, winter is gone! Time to rejoice and go out and shoot and enjoy the nice weather shooting some architecture. Our stop for today is Place des Arts.
Located in Downtown Montreal and inaugurated in 1963, Place des Arts is the central hub of the cultural life in Montreal and is home to the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, and the Opéra de Montréal. It's also the heart of several musical festivals and events such as the International Jazz Fest, Montreal En Lumières and Francofolies.

There is always something magical about winter in Montreal. And once in a while a curious phenomenon arises. After a few days of a mix of snow and rain, something enchanting happened.
You woke up in the morning only to discover that the trees and streets are covered with a thick layer of snow. It's so extraordinary that I had to take my trusty Nikon D800 with my Nikkor 24-70mm F/2.8 G ED and go on a long stroll.
So down I go, strolling into the streets of Outremont,...
it's always a pleasure when you can combine things that you love to photograph. As you probably know by now, I love New York City and I love contemporary architecture. And my favorite architects being Frank Ghery and Jean Nouvel, it was a pleasure to take a stroll in Chelsea and photograph one of the most beautiful buildings in the Big Apple, the InterActiveCorp's headquarters (aka IAC building) located at 550 West 18th Street on the corner of Eleventh Avenue in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan.

As a photographer, there is nothing like reaching one of your goals of being published in a magazine that you really love. So, when my client told me that Azure Magazine (a leading North American magazine focused on contemporary design, architecture and interiors from around the globe) picked up some of my photographs to showcase this specific project in the magazine, I was really thrilled. Nothing compares to seeing your pictures printed.

I love New York! Every trip to this city is filled with excitement and an opportunity to discover new locations to photograph.
So what was my excuse for being there this time? Well, rejoicing with some actors friends and attending the NYC Fotoworks portfolio review.
As a professional photographer, one of the key element for success is creating a solid network among professionals, editors, art buyers and agents. It was my first time attending this type of event and even though I had spend a lot of time getting my printed...
