108 : Project Updates (May 2025)

May 6, 2025

In today’s media landscape, photos and videos create impactful visual storytelling. I’m a Montreal visual storyteller that works closely with community organisations and unions to use photos and videos to share powerful stories of the work being done every day in our communities.

Dans le monde médiatique d’aujourd’hui, la photo et la vidéo permettent de raconter des histoires percutantes. Je me spécialise dans la mise en récit par l’image. En collaboration avec les organismes communautaires et les syndicats, j’utilise la photo et la vidéo pour témoigner du remarquable travail qui se fait au quotidien dans nos communautés.

February 13, 2024

Si je ne faisais qu’une seule chose avec mon appareil photo, ce serait des portraits individuels. Pour moi, chaque séance de portrait crée un espace d’intimité, de connexion. Mon objectif est plutôt de créer des portraits uniques avec chaque personne.

If I could do just one thing with a camera, it would be making one-on-one portraits with people. For me, a portrait session creates an intimate space for connection. My goal is to create individual, unique portraits with each person.
