Je te ferai voir le monde à travers mon regard.
Welcome to my photostream.
All pictures in my photostream are copyright © Pierre Contant. All rights reserved. My images may not be used or reproduced in any way without my permission. If you'd like to use one of my images for any reason, please contact me at pierre.contant@yahoo.com.

Bienvenue! I am bilingual (French/English) but my written French is poor. I apologize to all my French flickr friends if my comments are in English.
Photography is far more than the recording of light to produce a beautiful image. Photography is a means by which we can see and appreciate what this world has to offer. To go out on a photo expedition (alone or with someone) and to return without a good image is not a failure or a waste of time. If you feel that way then you are missing out on the best part of photography which is being there. If your lack of images is because of a lack of skill and knowledge then you are not putting in enough time and effort to learn the craft.
I’ve been at this for over 25 years but it is only since 2008 that photography has become an art, before that it was a just a hobby. My craft has and continues to evolve, where it will take me, no one knows.
Enjoy the images and feel free to leave comments as feedback is always appreciated. Should you have any questions on any of the photos, do not hesitate to ask me.
Thank you for visiting,
Pierre

"Pierre’s work is truly impressive and inspiring. His skills are exceptional, and every picture he uploads is technically perfect. He is a true professional with an amazing artistic vision. Sometimes I look at his pictures and I just think, “He makes nature even more beautiful than it already is” and that is a true gift…
You are a wonderful contact, present and supportive, I’m glad to be part of your friends on Flickr.
Thank you so much Pierre for sharing your passion with us, I get to learn from you and I am very grateful for that!"27th November, 2008

"I only came across Pierre's work recently. I'm particularly fond of his outstanding nature shots, though to be fair to him when he tackles other issues he does so brilliantly (his cars and trains are excellent). I'm always looking forward for my Canada fix through his photos.
True to the best Flickr spirit, as well as a brilliant photographer Pierre is an excellent contact who believes reciprocity is what makes Flickr a great place to share. I'm learning a lot through your work!"27th November, 2008

"I regard Pierre's work as creative, fresh & professional. I love to see where Pierre has been & what will be the next moment he has captured in his distinctive style. His photos are of an exceptionally high standard & I can't help but love the effort he puts into framing his work.....actually I should say art.
Pierre is a contact that anyone would love to have. He always makes time to provide insightful feedback and recommendations. Although being on the other side of the world, Pierre is not just another contact he is friend. Take care and thanks, Marc
PS. Check out his photostream...it is awesome!"31st August, 2008

"Pierre's whole stream is such a source of delight and inspiration for me. He begins with an immaculately composed subject and adds a perfect dose of processing - the end result is a larger than life piece of photographic ART. And not only does he capture the beauty of places and things (cars, trains, boats, dams, old buildings, turbines... oh my!), but he also beautifully captures the fun moments of family life."
