Le 13 Novembre a eu lieu le vernissage de TRACES, une exposition de Rachel Côté, Maude Chauvin et moi-même. C'était super! Merci à tous les amis visiteurs.
If you do a google image search on corporate photography, you probably will see portraits of people with crossed arms... I mean, way too much. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against crossed arms. People cross their arms regularly and there is no reason to not portray those people as they are comfortable. Unfortunately, too many photographers associate crossed armed portraits with corporate photography. Corporate photography should should reflect a companies identity. In a modern world, a company's identity should be a little more subtle and targeted than the standard 'Strong, professional and confident'. For that matter, corporate photography should be more than just portraits of people in business suites. What about showing off interaction with clients or colleagues? What about showing a bit of emotion or challenge? The first thing I learned about social media is that people now want to learn more about a company than just its product or services.

Depuis longtemps, la gang de l'Archipel voulait s'offrir un road trip de quelques jours ensemble. Le but était d'être ensemble sans ordi et en dehors du studio pour plus d'une soirée.

Je vous dirais que le résultat est presque qu'un exercise de style: comment faire un reportage en deux jours sur un sujet aussi riche d'histoire. Bon, j'oublie presque tout le temps passé en post-production. Il a surement u...
