Darkness and light...and everything in between

Ort Kanada, Quebec, Montreal

Biografie Once upon a time, there was a little girl who grew up devouring every fashion magazines she saw. The models, the clothes, the colors, the glamour... She had never seen anything like it.
One day, driven by a desire to make her own images, she picked up a camera While discovering photography, she pursued studies in Litterature and Art History. In that period, her passion for photography grew even more. Taking what she learned, she continued on her own until 2004 when, wanting to master her art even more, she started a Photography program in 2004 at Cégep du Vieux Montréal.
With her diploma in hand, she quickly developped a style that is her own. Using color, sometimes vivid, sometimes muted, as much as high contrast black and white, she would incorporated the fine arts references she discovered earlier in her photography work. She treats light not only as an accessory but also as a subject by itself.
Since she graduated, she acquired experience with many personnal projects and paid assignment.
Located in Montreal.
