In my ongoing contract with the City of Montreal’s Service de la culture, I get to discover some of the little known (to me at least) events in the city that make Montreal one of the most unique cities to live in. We all know about the Jazz festival, Osheaga and other high profile… Continue reading Discovering Montreal – Cabane à sucre urbaine | Montreal Event Photographer

Discovering Montreal – La Nuit Blanche | Montreal Event Photographer
People who visit Montreal in the summer fall in love. Music festivals, eating outdoors, food trucks, loads of sunny day activities and so much more.

In the cold… Continue reading Discovering Montreal – La Nuit Blanche | Montreal Event Photographer

Saying I do, 5 years later | Montreal Portrait Photographer
While I’m usually busy shooting in a photo pit at a rock show, in a mold filled abandoned building … I do love portrait sessions.

Montreal at night | Urban Photography
I haven’t had the time to walk the streets of my favorite city in a while.

The recent time change has it that the sun has already set… Continue reading Montreal at night | Urban Photography

Anyone who follows me on Instagram (@pierrebourgault just in case 😉 ) knows that I love graffiti and urban art. It adds so much to a city’s character.

Enter the Festival MURAL… a… Continue reading A Day at Festival MURAL | Montreal Photographer
