Widespread Panic - my smoke photography for band's T

'Gemini' touring soon...

The southern rock / jam band Widespread Panic (sold over 3 million CD's) has purchased a license to print my smoke picture 'Gemini' on their t-shirts, to be sold on tour and probably on their website as well... From what I heard the picture will only be printed in women's t-shirts, so no luck for the guys.
More information soon, and a picture of the t-shirt as soon as it's ready!

Ganesha - the Elephant-Headed God

As hinduism is one of the first religions to make use of insence to worship their gods, it shouldn't come as a surprise that in one of my latest smoke pictures I saw Ganesha, the elephant headed god, in a lotus position..
Then again, maybe you see something else? Maybe a one-seater couch with a heart as the back or pillow?

Mayan dancers...

A couple of weeks ago I took some pictures at a corporate event. As dinner started, a group performed some ritual Mayan (?) dance involving fire.. The dance and the performers were great to look at, even with one eye closed and the other looking through the viewfinder.. here are some of the pictures...

Photo Retouching Services

I now also offer retouching services.. so if you're a photographer needing a hand with some pictures, a model who wants to look better on some pictures (with permission of photographer), or someone who needs a hand in making those 'nice pictures' into 'great pictures', I can help!
Have a look at some retouching examples here...

Photo Session with Monica Costa

Before the holidays, on a cold day, I did a photo session with Monica, downtown Montreal at the same location as one shoots mentioned below. The end result, was a nice frame with 4 pictures from the shoot under the christmas tree for her boyfriend..
Here are some of the pictures (not necessarily the ones that were selected for the frame)

Happy New Year!

Best wishes for 2008!

Smoke photography in the news...

Today some of my pictures were featured in the London edition of the Metro newspaper.. I was told the quality of the pictures was better in the paper than on the PDF I received..

if you want to have a better look at the pictures, check out the smoke photography gallery

Two weeks ago, there was a more extensive article about my photography on Life in the Fast Lane, you can read it here.

Hearts in Montreal..

Some time ago I did a photoshoot with some clear guidelines from the client as to what the end result should look like.. location, type of picture, colours.. here are two of the final pictures...


If you need some pictures and you have something specific in mind, don't hesitate to contact me and we can discuss it!!

Space may be the final frontier...

...but it's made in a Hollywood basement - Red Hot Chili Peppers

This was made in my basement.. maybe not Hollywood, but close enough, no? I took this picture when I had set up my gear for some smoke photography and before I lit the incense I tested with some different substances and this was one of the results..

Smoke Art Movie Characters

After the Schwarzenegger image a while back, some more movie characters in smoke.. at least that's what I saw in these smoke pictures.. let me know what you think:

Nikopol from "Immortel (Ad Vitam)" (see info & picture of movie here)

Gizmo from the Gremlins:

You can reply on me to spot the stars in smokey environments...

Photo Shoot

A couple of weeks ago, I did a photo shoot with Judy Ortenzi. Here are some of the pictures...

Concert pictures

On June 24th, it was the National Holiday in Quebec (yes, Quebec is the only province in the world to have a national holiday) and I took a couple of pictures of a concert during the festivities.. The singer is Karine Ste Marie (see her myspace page here) and she performed with her band.


I've been trying out editing with textures, you can see some of the results here... We'll probably do a photo shoot later on this summer, so stay tuned.


There are more pictures of the concert, let me know if you'd be interested in seeing them.

Smoke Photography & Stardust

On one of my smoke shoots, some dust was falling and it reflected the light of my flash when I took pictures... The results looks like stars, stardust, and give a little extra to the smoke pictures. The one picture doesn't have much editing done to it, the other was mirrored with the previously discussed technique.

For those who haven't seen my other smoke pictures yet, I have made a dedicated gallery page.. check out my smoke photography
