After my last long trip to Europe, Southeast Asia and India, I decided to do what I do best: photography! I realized that we don’t need to travel to far away places to create beautiful photos. Although we are captivated by the unusual things we see across the world, people living there find them quite ordinary, and vice versa: they are amazed by our reality. The crucial part is knowing how to capture the amazing things life has to offer. Life goes by too quickly and we don’t stop to appreciated the moment.

What I really love about photography is to seize moments in people’s lives and show them their best facets. Some moments are truly magical. For some, it’s the birth of their child, for others, it’s a new job, an anniversary, a wedding, a hockey game, a dance or a music performance. For others, it’s simply a good meal, or a beautiful sunset.

For me, photography is the art of contemplation. And what I love to do and what I do best, is to share my vision with the world.
