A few months ago, Daniel contacted me to get some headshots. He has a cookbook coming out and needed a shot (or three) for “about the author” page of the book. I chatted with him a bit about availability, themes and ideas of where to shoot. We had some good brainstorming ideas, but settled on… Continue reading Cooking up some headshots | Montreal Headshot Photographer

A day in the Old Port | Diary of a photowalk
It was such an amazingly sunny day this Sunday in Montreal. My friend Ron asked if myself and my girlfriend Danielle were free to for heading down to the Old Port to check out the clocktower. I have a love hate relationship with the clocktower… I love shooting there, but I hate that one of… Continue reading A day in the Old Port | Diary of a photowalk

Montreal at night | Urban Photography
I haven’t had the time to walk the streets of my favorite city in a while. And even though they were calling for cold, wind and rain, figured I’d call up a friend and pound the pavement looking for some interesting photo ops. The recent time change has it that the sun has already set… Continue reading Montreal at night | Urban Photography
Montreal Zombie Walk …. grrr… arrrggg
It’s that time of the year… the Zombie Walk invaded the streets of Montreal. The walk has grown quite a bit in the last few years, from a handful of walking dead 3 or so years ago to over 2000 (by my estimates) this year. Was amazing to see how people go all out for… Continue reading Montreal Zombie Walk …. grrr… arrrggg
Quick tip #3: Picking out the details
The idea of picking out details in a scene to tell a story is not easy to do. Take urban exploration as an example. I’ve spent a bit of time in an old plant here in Montreal doing photography, bringing friends and clients to explore along with me. This old plant is 3 floors high… Continue reading Quick tip #3: Picking out the details
Diary of some photo walks | Montreal Street Photography
So I’m in between festival shooting and should be catching up on image editing. But after having lunch with a friend, I took a long walk back home and had some fun doing some street photos. Figured why not, I have my camera with me. Then tonight, I decided to join a few other… Continue reading Diary of some photo walks | Montreal Street Photography
Montreal at night | Urban Photography
Ever gone swimming at night, under the stars? If you haven’t, you have to try. The quietness of being alone in the water, the lack of light. Something magical about it all.
Montreal Food Trucks | Urban Photography
For the first year, Montreal is now allowed to have food trucks driving in the streets and selling their foods to the hungry public. And let me tell ya, people have been lining up pretty much every day since the start. Pricing along the lines of the food trucks in New York and Boston, the… Continue reading Montreal Food Trucks | Urban Photography
Nick Waterhouse | Jazz Fest | Montreal Show Photographer
I can’t say it enough, one of the best parts of my job is being able to photograph artists that I have never heard of, and then actually digging their music. Nick Waterhouse was one of those artists. On a busy night covering the Jazz Festival for Sorstu.ca, I had some free time between… Continue reading Nick Waterhouse | Jazz Fest | Montreal Show Photographer
Show: Francofolies de Montréal | Montreal music photographer
Quoi de dire des Francofolies de Montreal. Je suis alle a quelques reprises les annees dernieres, mais je n’ai jamais eu la chance en tant que photographe. Cette annee, un de mes medias Montrealais prefere, Sorstu.ca, me demande si je pouvais travailler quelques jours au festival de musique francophone. Hellz yeah! Au total, j’ai 4… Continue reading Show: Francofolies de Montréal | Montreal music photographer
Urban: Snowy Old Montreal | Urban Photography
Seems that we have our last (I hope!) snowstorm going on today in Montréal. While I’m pretty sick and tired of the white stuff (as most Montrealers are these days), and seeing as I was already in the downtown area before sunrise, I decided to take a walk around Old Montreal and snap some… Continue reading Urban: Snowy Old Montreal | Urban Photography
Urban: Night Out | Montreal Urban Photography
Wandering the darkened alleyways in Old Montreal, you sometimes come across a story, and try and capture it in an image. Like coming upon this couple in a discussion on their night out in a restaurant. You can see her head turned towards him and his hand up in the air. Looks to me like… Continue reading Urban: Night Out | Montreal Urban Photography
Urban: The Old Boat | Montreal Urban Photography
What to say about Old Montreal. It can be really beautiful but it can also be a tourist trap. I like to take an urban photo walk through the streets every other month. I hadn’t been there at night in a long time. A few days ago, a friend and I walked through the snow… Continue reading Urban: The Old Boat | Montreal Urban Photography
Urban: Diary of a photowalk | Montreal downtown
Ok, this won’t be a play by play of each step I take in a photowalk, as the fun of an photowalk is just randomly going down streets with no real idea in mind, letting your eye be caught by something interesting… or as I like to call it “OH, shiny object!” My friend and… Continue reading Urban: Diary of a photowalk | Montreal downtown
Urban: La Grande Bibliothèque at night
One of my favorite styles of photography is urban shots done at night. And if I can add a human element in the shot, it makes that much more interesting and helps tell the story of the city. Last week, I went on a night time photowalk with a friend through the freezing streets of… Continue reading Urban: La Grande Bibliothèque at night
Urban: Montreal’s Snowpocalypse | Pierre B Photo | Montreal Photographer
I love living in Montreal. The summers are always so full of life… or as they say… “la joie de vivre”. Why do we Montrealers love our summers so much? Because we can have pretty horrendous winters. Take today as an example. We set an all time record for a single day snowfall with 45… Continue reading Urban: Montreal’s Snowpocalypse | Pierre B Photo | Montreal Photographer
