I don’t really advertise myself as a commercial photographer, but since my Google rank is pretty good, I often get request from people looking for a commercial photographer in Quebec city. Some months, corporate jobs represent more than 50% of my income.

I rarely publish the photos and I rarely even talk about it here, because the end result is rarely interesting for anyone else than my clients.

But just because I feel like it, here is some jobs I recently did.

I was pretty busy last few days. Tuesday morning, I left for Roberval to cover the NHL exhibition game between the Montreal Canadians and the Buffalo Sabres. Roberval won a national contest to be named “Canadian hockeytown” and the chance to host the game. An NHL pro game in a 10,000 citizen town, it is pretty amazing. The light was pretty bad, of course, and we had to shoot at 1/400, 3200ISO and f2.8.

After the game, I headed to Chicoutimi to sleep at an uncle house. I then spent the day in Chicoutimi and La Baie to shoot some stock photo, including the famous “petite maison blanche” (little white house), symbol of the 1996 déluge du Saguenay (Saguenay flood)
