My big project with La Presse can finally be unveiled. 50 portraits of the “Van Doos” (the Royal 22e Régiment) leaving for Afghanistan this month. The result so far: 5 pictures in yesterday’s front and a double spreads with more portrait in pages A2 and A3, and more portraits in today’s A2 and A3. And more on the website.

Here is some shoots that I like, all taken with the same setting: a 85mm f1.8 lens with an off camera flash bounced into an umbrella.

Mag cover

Got my first cover magazine today. Working for Entreprendre was challenging but fun. For their main story, they use 5 or 6 pictures, including the cover. That means you have to find and execute, in a short period of time, 5 or 6 fairly different pictures. As Frank O’Connor (Loyalist teacher) used to say: Creativity on demand!

Here is some pictures that I submitted:
