1. Tell us a little bit about yourself I’m a 21 year old photographer  originally from Montreal. I love art in any shapes or form, painting, music, photography. My work is divided between New York and Montreal 2. When did you start taking photos and what was your first camera I started photography in 2011. I was influenced by the people around me who had DSLRs so I saved all my money and bought me a NIKON D3000. It was my baby! I took my first fashion photos with it and I was hooked since. 3. Why photography over any other art medium? Photography is a great vehicle to express your vision. I’m always looking around, observing things. Photography let me capture that moment that only exist when I take the picture and now with technology I can share it with people instantly. A beautiful photo create positive emotions in you that are hard to describe. Now why fashion? Primarily because I think models are like supermen/woman, they are so beautiful but their beauty is different. To me its not about a pretty face or long beautiful hair, its about being outside the norm : to be different than all the rest. That’s what models are, and that’s what attracts me  and makes me want to do a shoot with them. I also love fashion and beautiful clothes as well. The two together is so complementary and appealing. 4. Film or Digital? I started with digital but I’m going back to film slowly. A camera is what matters to me. Film or digital, I don’t really care as long as it take pictures, I’m good. 5. Who is the first photographer that comes to your mind and why? Peter Lindbergh is the first photographer I really admired then I discovered Richard Avedon. Lindbergh made me fall in love with black and white photography. His pictures as well as his personal projects are just timeless. Still to this day we can go back to see his old photos and still find them beautiful. 6. What camera do you shoot with now? I shoot with a 5D Mark II and a Minolta X-37 7. How do you keep yourself motivated and your photography fresh? Travelling keeps me motivated, I love to see difference places, architecture is something I appreciate a lot. Seeing new places brings new ideas. Its all about doing different things and not fall on a routine in order to stimulate your creativity. I also look at a lot of editorials as well to keep up on what’s is going on in the industry.
