About the studio

Hello — I'm the eye behind
inkXShutter.

I've been a working photographer for ten years. Before that, I worked as a photo editor at a magazine you've heard of, which mostly taught me what not to do. Now I run a one-person studio in Quebec City, shooting weddings, portraits, and brand work for clients I actually like.

(01) — Philosophy

Photographs should age well.

I shoot for what you'll think looking at the picture in fifteen years, not what looks good on a feed this week. That means natural color, real expressions, and a light hand on the edit.

It also means I'll happily tell you when an idea isn't worth shooting, or when the weather wants us to change the plan. You're paying for taste as much as technique.

(02) — How we'll work

A simple four-step process, from first email to final delivery.

  1. 01

    The brief

    We trade emails or jump on a call. I want to know who the photographs are for, where they'll live, and what would make this feel like a win for you.

  2. 02

    The plan

    I send a tailored quote, a shot list when relevant, and a simple timeline. No templates, no surprise fees, no upsells.

  3. 03

    The shoot

    I show up early, I move quietly, and I work the room. For weddings I bring a second shooter when the day calls for it.

  4. 04

    The delivery

    Edited gallery in two to three weeks, downloadable in high-res. Prints, albums, and licensing on request.
