In the last days of August, after so many months in lockdown, I travelled to the Gaspesian peninsula during an extended weekend.

Some snapshots of the trip; from Parc du Bic to Carleton-sur-Mer, through Rimouski and the Matapédia river.

New York, New York. A city that can't really be described. Only experienced. How do you transmit the dynamics of people and concrete, the games of shadows and lights? Navigating from Brooklyn to Manhattan and to Coney Island, like a modern adventurer, crafting this series about the grandeur of the urban jungle

No Sleep Till Brooklyn

In 2016 I embarked on a life-defining adventure from the shores of the St Lawrence River to the ones of the Atlantic Ocean, through those of the Mexican Gulf. Driving from Montréal to New Orleans to Montréal for over 7,000km and 17 States and 2 Canadian Provinces. A distillation of this adventure without any pretension or judgment, this body of works aims to be a naturalist but not emotionless gaze upon the vast American diversity and its regional specificities.

An American Road Trip

An ongoing exploration of the shores of the St Lawrence river. Always going North, always further, looking for the end of that colossal power that shaped not only the lives of so many generations and peoples but also the very fabric of the continent.

Double Expos is a photographic project in which I overlayed landmarks of Montréal over portraits.

In this new project, I decided to go out of my comfort zone and not only shoot partially nude portraits but also work in Photoshop and alter the image (breaking my rule of never digitally altering a picture).
The concept of double exposure really resonated with me, even more since I started to shoot film. While maybe cliché, I wanted to work on that theme of Montréal's landmarks melted with portraits of Montréalers.

I'm currently looking to expand this series - feel free to reach out to set up a shoot.

__A series about people fighting for fun and pleasure.__ In 2016, I followed my friend's journey in amateur fighting. Where everyday people decide to spend their weekend punching each other in the face. A world of violence, blood, friendships, rivalries,... But it's a world of shared passion for martial arts after all. Where violent delights don't always have violent ends.
