Self-portrait. Île des Sœurs, QC. Canada. 2023.

I am inherently attracted to subculture and introspection. My documentary work delves into social constructs and the pondering of time; our relation to uniqueness, the struggle between individuality and our need to belong, the experience of justice and identity in different layers of life. 

I like to think that at the core of my work is the exploration of life dreams, justice and happiness. 

My approach to commercial photography is to break the rules through the responsible use of creativity in order to bring a touch of illusion to every frame I make. 

As a fellow human being, I’ve volunteered with the good people at the Native Friendship Centre of Montreal, Code-Life fundraising for their Global Health Mission for children in South Africa. And Carmagnole Circus and Arts for Social Transformation.

I’ve been fortunate to work with some of the most demanding directors, artists, production companies and brands from across North America and Europe.
