Trinidad, Cuba – Hardships, challenges, warmth and resilience.
These photographs were taken during my June 2025 visit to Trinidad, Cuba, a city that feels suspended in time. Founded in the early 16th century and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Trinidad is renowned for its beautifully preserved colonial architecture, cobblestone streets, pastel-colored facades, and vibrant public squares.
In the photographs below, I chose to portray this vibrant and colorful city in black and white, using the absence of color to draw attention to the hardships and realities faced by many of its inhabitants.
Daily life already reflected the economic hardships facing many Cubans. Yet amid the challenges, I encountered remarkable warmth, resilience, and dignity.
Looking back at these images today, I find myself wondering how these people are doing.

A walk in Puerto Escondido – February 2023
Puerto Escondido has a way of slowing time—and that’s exactly what I tried to capture through my lens. Armed with a Canon 6D and a Canon EF 35mm f/2, I focused on keeping things simple, letting the light and the rhythm of the coast do the heavy lifting. The 35mm perspective felt just right: wide enough to embrace the sweeping beaches and golden sunsets, yet intimate enough to tell quiet stories.
What stood out most was the light. Soft mornings with a gentle haze, followed by dramatic golden hours that seemed to stretch forever. The 6D handled it beautifully, especially in low light, preserving details without losing that natural feel. I kept my approach minimal—no overthinking, no staging—just observing and reacting.
These photos aren’t just about a destination; they’re about a mood. Puerto Escondido is raw, warm, and effortlessly photogenic. And sometimes, all you need is a simple setup and a good eye to let a place speak for itself.

This is a maternity photo session that we decided to do in Mont Saint-Bruno National Park in the South Shore of Montreal, late in the afternoon.

Beauty and Fashion: On-location photo sessions in Montreal
I realized I haven’t posted portraiture or fashion work for a while, so here are some shots from some of last season’s sessions. Beside weddings, I’m normally pretty busy with this kind of on-location outdoor photo sessions between April and October. Check my services page for more details about packages and rates.

Editorial shoot turned out to be more fun than I thought!
I had two editorial shoots for magazines this week and one of them turned out to be really fun! After we were done with the required shots for the magazine, I suggested a fun concept to my client… You’ll notice from the shots below that I wasn’t going to have a client with such a character everyday. Enjoy them!

Baby photo session: Melody
I’ve recently had a photoshoot with the tiniest and cutest client, Melody.
In the editing process, I tried a vintage style on some of the photos which I think worked out very well. Usually, when I apply this sort of non-neutral type of editing, I will still provide the client with the original color versions, just in case the edit gets dated after a while, something that every photographer needs to be aware of.
Here are some photos from the session…
