I was trained in photography at the Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, after a college diploma in graphic communications. My career sta...rted with a show at “Le Mois de La photo à Montréal”, and I went on to pursue my photo projects and to exhibit my work in Belgium, England, Hungary, Italy and Spain.
My perspective of the world has always resulted in the kind of images that is well suited for book covers, and my work has been used by some of the major book publishers around the world, ranging from Audi, the WALL STREET JOURNAL, THE BCC, FLAMMARION, RANDOM HOUSE, HARPER COLLINS, THE GUARDIAN, NBC UNIVERSAL, CHESKY RECORDS, and PENGUIN CLASSICS among many others.
