After a day of photo editing and online marketing, there is nothing better than just grabbing your camera and heading out and having some fun. A couple of friends and myself hit the streets of Montreal and while I original aim was to get some great urban shots (really, it was), we ended up… Continue reading Urban: Diary of a photowalk | Montreal urban photography

Urban: Random Travels in Berlin
After spending some time in Prague, our travels brought us to the awesome city of Berlin. What can I say, I seriously fell in love with this city. It was the multicultural vibe of my beloved Montréal. People were great, it wasn’t too expensive, found parks I could just chill and relax in… seems… Continue reading Urban: Random Travels in Berlin
Urban: Dome Reflection | Berlin
One of the nicest views of the city of Berlin is from the top of the Reichstag building, in what they call the Dome. Lineups to get into here are long. Actually, it was a 2 hour wait to get a reservation that got us a spot 4 days later…. and at 9:30 at night.… Continue reading Urban: Dome Reflection | Berlin
Urban: Random Travels in Prague
After posting up my favorite shots (Smoking Man, Addiction and Watching You), thought I’d put up a collection of my other shots from my few days spent in Prague. The city is great for the type of street photography I love doing, many people doing many things, with a beautiful city in the background.
Urban: The Smoking Man | Prague
And here is my final fave image from the Prague leg of my trip. He was shot on one of the last night’s while walking the Old Town, in a small corner cafe right near the Astronomical Clock. Photography is about getting the right moment and finding the right light. And that is what… Continue reading Urban: The Smoking Man | Prague
Urban: Addiction | Prague
I know, weird title for a photo, right? Here’s a bit of the backstory…
Urban: I’m watching you | Prague
Back from a 16 day Europe trip, and the first stop was Prague. Don’t worry, I won’t be posting up all my vacation shots, but I do have a select few that I really love, and figured I’d take the time to write a bit more about the photo.
Urban: The Human Element | Montreal Urban Photography
I am sometimes asked what I look for when I am making images on my urban photo walks. Some days it is the lines in the architecture, other days it is a certain colour that just pops. But mainly, as with most of my photography, I try and tell a story with a single image. … Continue reading Urban: The Human Element | Montreal Urban Photography
Urban: Building find | Pt St-Charles | Montreal Urban Photographer
Headed out with a friend a week or so ago for a day time photo walk. He took the day off work, I kept my schedule clear. We had a general idea of where we wanted to go, but as always, we end up in a place we never originally planned on. This walk was… Continue reading Urban: Building find | Pt St-Charles | Montreal Urban 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
Road Trip: Ireland – Howth | Pierre B Photo | Montreal Photographer
I like to get out and about, whether it be in my own city or some city I’ve never been to. And in most cases, I like to bring my camera! Back in May / June 2012 I took a few weeks off of life and headed out to Ireland for a little solo road… Continue reading Road Trip: Ireland – Howth | Pierre B Photo | Montreal Photographer
