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.
