Sigur Ros @ Hollywood Forever cemetery

2012-08-27T01:47:00.000-04:00

Finding tickets for this show ended up being pretty hard (& expensive!) but it was worth every penny! Front row for my favorite band AND in a cemetery? It was just a perfect show!

Not dead/ Pas morte!

2010-09-13T19:50:00.004-04:00

It's been almost 9 months since I last posted something here! I'm ashamed of myself!
I shot my first wedding back in May and i had a blast!
They both come from very different cultures, so i saw a little bit of my husband and I in them! They had a small intimate court house wedding in Quebec & we wandered in town before to take some pictures! Look at this stylish couple!

Je n'ai pas donnée de nouvelles depuis environs 9 mois, j'ai honte! J'ai ENFIN photographiée mon premier mariage au mois de Mai et c'était une partie de plaisir! Le couple est de deux cultures très différente, alors j'ai vu un peu de mon mari et moi en eux! Ce fut un petit mariage intime au Palais de Justice de Québec et nous sommes allés ce promener en ville avant question de prendre quelques clichés! Quel beau couple!

Burning Love

2009-08-27T22:38:00.002-04:00

I went to 3 shows this past week. That's more than ive been in the past months. It was alot of fun though, but i was a bit rusty on the photography side.

Here's a couple of Burning Love (thanks to Gus for the amazing show!)

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

2009-08-03T23:01:00.002-04:00

I was so excited to finally see the YYYs!
They started off with a really slow song which it thought was kind of weird. Another slow song followed... another... The whole set ended up being really slow which was kind of a bummer but it was still amazing to see them. And of course KarenO was just a treat to photograph! amazing stage clothes, expressions, poses ect ect

J'était vraiment excitée de finalement voir les YYYs!
Ils ont commencé le spectacle avec une chanson très "slow". suivie d'une autre chanson calme. et une autre... Bref, ils ont jouer un set complètement slow! Mais l'énergie de KarenO etait au rendez vous évidament! Elle était juste parfaite a photographier avec ces poses, vêtements de scène, son visage expressif ect ect

Indochine

2009-07-29T14:34:00.002-04:00

It was a busy busy week! I had no time at all to edit all my pictures, but i'll start this with pictures of Indochine, which in my opinion gave the best show of the whole festival. (yes, better than KISS' Sting, Yeah Yeah Yeahs)
I'll have more in the upcoming week or so. (YYYs, Hollywood Undead, Les Claypool, Mest, IAM & Ice Cube.)

Ce fut une semaine très chargée! Je n'ai pas encore eu le temps d'éditer tout mes photos, Mais je vais commencer mon premiere post avec Indochine qui d'apès moi, ont donné le meilleur show de tout le festival (oui, meilleur que KISS, Sting, YYYs ect ect)
Je vais poster plus de photos plus tard cette semaine! (les Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Hollywood Undead, Les Claypool, Mest, IAM & Ice Cube)

Jane's Addiction

2009-07-18T11:45:00.003-04:00

Seeing people on stage that actually love doing what they are doing always make the show a hundred times better. It was the case with Jane's Addiction that night.
It was an amazing way to end a night that i got to shoot Tom Morello, Trent Reznor AND Perry Farrel/Dave Navarro.

Voir des gens sur scène qui aimes vraiment leur travail rend toujours le spectacle 100 fois mieux. C'était le cas avec Jane's Addiction cette soirée la! La soirée a très bien terminée et je n'aurais jamais cru prendre des photos de Tom Morello, trent Reznor ET Perry Farrel/Dave Navarro! (encore moins en une soirée!)

Social Street Sweeper

2009-07-10T08:52:00.004-04:00

I had the chance to shoot Nine Inch Nails, Jane's Addiction & Social Street Sweeper (tom morello's new band) on the NIN/JA tour. The closest show to me was in Toronto so i had to take a short 1h flight to attend one of the best show i've seen this year!
It was Jane's Addiction comeback after a 10 years break & NIN last tour (new dates have been announced!)

So here is a little preview of what i have.
NIN & JA are next!

J'ai eu la chance de prendre des photos de Nine Inch Nails, Jane's Addiction & Social Street Sweeper (le nouveau groupe a Tom Morello) pour la tournée NIN/JA. Le spectacle le plus près de moi était a Toronto, alors j'ai pris un petit vol d'avion 1h, direction Toronto! C'était un des meilleurs spectacle que j'ai vu de l'année! C'était le retour de Jane's Addiction après 10ans d'absence et la dernière tournée de Nine Inch Nails (mais NIN a annoncé des nouvelles dates!)

Voici un petit avant goût du spectacle. NIN & JA sont a venir!

Once again, something i've never done before! Horsies! I actually had a lot of fun once again, with Claudine & Daphnée! It was actually the first real hot day we had this summer and the heat hit me pretty badly while i was taking picture. So i ended up spending the night in bed feeling sick haha.

Encore une fois, j'ai prise des photos de quelque chose que je n'ai pas l'habitude de faire; des cheveaux! J'ai eu beaucoup de plaisir a passer l'après midi avec Claudine & Daphnée! C'était la première journée chaude de l'été et j'ai eu un gros coup de chaleur alors j'ai passer la soirée au lit!

Engagement session/Session fiançailles

2009-06-21T00:16:00.004-04:00

I had the pleasure of doin my first engagement session ever (!) with Guillaume, a co-worker. He was actually gonna take them himself so i offered him to take them! I never thought i would have this much fun doing that since it's a bit out of what i usually do. I had a blast and i can't wait to shoot more in the future.
(It started raining right in the middle of the shoot but we still had alot of fun!)

I should updated my portfolio pretty soon, cause right not it's pretty outdated!

J'ai eu le plaisir de faire ma première session de photos fiançailles avec un compagne de travail, Guillaume. Il voulais prendre ces photos lui même alors je lui ai proposé de les prendre pour eux! Je n'aurais jamais pensé avoir autant de plaisir a prendre ce genre de photos, vu qu'habituellement ce n'est pas vraiment ce que je fais. En esperant reprendre ce genre de photos bientôt!
(Il a commencé a pleuvoir en plein millieu de la seance, mais nous avons continuez quand même!)

Je vais faire un gros ménage de mon portfolio très bientôt.

coming soon...

2009-05-02T19:21:00.002-04:00
