I am a self-taught freelance photographer. I was born in Toronto, but moved to Montreal in 2001, and will be forever grateful to my high school French teacher.

I love to experiment with different styles and techniques, both in-camera and in my digital darkroom. Faithfully capturing a scene is less important to me than finding that little bit of mystery, evoking a certain mood, or telling a story. Through my photography, I like to explore of the ethereal, the surreal, the whimsical, the mysterious, and the beautiful. I like to consider each photograph a little poem for the eyes.

If you are in Montreal, you can stop by IMPACT Galerie in Old Montreal (209 Rue St. Paul Ouest) to see my photography.

    "I am a really huge fan of Irene's masterpieces! I want to start by saying that she is the one that sparked this love deep in me towards photography that was hiding in me for a long time. I am so thankful to Irena for that. She was the first person I was deeply attached here on the web and I had no idea what Flickr was until I found her work here. She is the only one in my browser's bookmarks to this day. She was absent here on Flickr for a while and not as active as she used to be and I really missed all the wonderful masterpieces that I have became accustomed to. Irene is definitely a legend here on Flickr. If you have discovered her stream consider yourself a lucky person!

    Thank you for being my friend Irene and all the inspiration you have provided me with!"

    "Irena has a magical way of turning what others might see as ordinary into the extraordinary. Many of her images are almost surreal and dream-like, with a beauty all their own.

    Irena's amazing talent allows her to show us the world in ways many would never be able to see. I love to visit her photostream whenever I need inspiration to improve my own photography - it gives me a goal to strive for; one that I'm sure I will never reach."

    "Irene's photography really impresses me. She does not just capture photos with her camera, but she then very creatively turns her photos into stunning works of art. Irene shows us what can be done with HDR. No flat shadowless photos here, just perfect perspective and perfect composition. She also shows us what can be done with other elements of Photoshop, and this is inspiring to me.
    Her photos are also very atmospheric and often very dreamy.
    Thanks Irene, for your creativity and sense of beauty. You are an artist."

    "irene is one of the most versatile photographers i've come across on flickr. she masters a huge range of techniques and subjects with an ease that can only be described as a manifestation of a unique talent. her visual sensibility is astounding - to transport a true emotion in a landscape or an architecture shot (we call it 'atmosphere', but in her work it's so much more) is a rare artistic achievement.

    please keep up with the brilliant work. it's an honour for me to write your first testimonial."
