arpenteur photographe

I'm Martin, and I've been a photographer for several years. For the past year I've been living in Quebec and I've decided to focus myself to 35mm film photography, 4x5 large format and 6x6 medium format.

I like the idea that photography encourages us to take a different look at things that are there but that we sometimes don't see. In general, I let myself be surprised by what I see wherever I go. Often I'll go somewhere, around the corner or into the neighbouring region, not knowing what I'll find and then maybe I'll bring back a few images, or not.

If I like the surprise of chance, it's a different feeling to carrying out a project that you've imagined. 
Experimenting with large format portraiture has encouraged me to think about my projects, to mentally construct my image so that I can realise it as I imagined it.

We're not going to talk so much about gear or photographic techniques here, as about trying to document my visits. 
All this will evolve over time!
