A TVC / photoshoot combo for the Environment and Climate Change Canada government ministry

A TVC / photoshoot combo for Barilla pasta with the composer of the 'White Lotus' tv series.

One awesome four-day photoshoot for a fashion client highlighting Montreal’s European vibe.

And much more work that, unfortunately, our NDAs prevent us to share until their respective publications."

Here is a quick look at what we have been up to so far since our last update in June:

Warner Media / CNN / Courageous Studios (USA): Our team line-produced a 6-7-minute advertorial for Destination Canada, in collaboration with CNN’s promotional studio, for Canada’s promotional material agency for the Federal ministry of Tourism.

VITAL Productions (Canada): in November, we are providing assistance for foreign filming in Europe for the 'Rioux' (2024) feature documentary (a Poland, Germany and UK coproduction) including obtaining filming and drone permitting at the Auschwitz-Birkenau holocaust memorial.

Also for VITAL, we have provided assistance for foreign filming in Socotra, Yemen, for the 'Chrysalides' (2025) feature documentary. This Spotlight includes some behind the scenes snapshots of this simply stunning and unique location."

"With a background in theater and cinema, I always try to have, as a subtext, the vulnerability of people in my images.

I don't like fixed situations. So, a successful image, for me, is a photo that tells several stories. From the light, the direction of the model, the artistic direction...

In my projects, I try to look for the precise moment when time stops to give way to silence, to the eye of the storm."

"For me, photography is the meeting of two things.

It is the encounter between people - with all their stories and their humanity - and light. The main challenge is to harmonise the two to leave room for the story I want to tell through the photo.

Whether through a simple portrait or a complex staging, the story, for me, is always the most important.

And it is created as a team by adding the experience, talent and passion of each."
