I'm an amator photographer born in Quebec City and raised in a beautiful town surrended by mountains and lakes.

My first contact with photography (regardless of my parents' family albums) was a 110mm as a gift by my older brother. I was only 10 years old and I was already addicted! When it broke down, I upgraded for the most basic 35mm with two buttons: power and shoot. Then came the reflex with lenses, a Minolta X-370, then a Minolta X-700. Now, depending of the situation, I shoot with a Canon 7D, a Powershot S5IS or a Powershot A460.

My father was my first teacher with his old Miranda (from the 60's). Otherway, the only course I had was a shooting course about architecture. I learned most in books, magazins and by observing others' photos.

Some of my favorites subjects are animals, plants, insects, textures, lights&shadows and 3D.

My goal? Having fun, finding new subjects, trying to capture magic moments and show how common things can revele extraordinary beauty that a comon eye won't take time to observe.
