I bring a wealth of experience to the world of photography and cinema, having honed my skills as a photographer and studied cinema and video creation. This background enhances my understanding of the unique needs of film crews. My extensive knowledge of photography, coupled with my deep familiarity with Montreal and my travel photography and video documentation, positions me as the go-to person for film crews.

With a comprehensive handbook on the subject, I meticulously document the best locations for lighting and shoots, offering valuable insights for filmmakers. Beyond this, I conduct photography tours of Montreal, leveraging my expertise to showcase the city’s visual richness.

As a seasoned public speaker and professional guide, I am comfortable both in front of and behind the camera. I’ve lent my voice to numerous projects, providing voiceovers and stand-ups in several languages for film production companies. Over the years, I’ve actively participated in press trips with SATW, managed press rooms for MPI, President’s Club Golf events, and various other occasions.

My extensive background includes a significant tenure with Tourism Montreal, Tourism Québec, and the Canadian Tourism Commission media relations team from 1992 to 2017. As the Media Relations Manager at Tourism Montreal, I played a pivotal role in creating compelling story ideas for the media, assisting film crews with locations, serving as a fixer, securing film permits, and coordinating guest appearances on various programs.

My diverse portfolio includes collaborations with renowned entities such as the Amazing Race teams, BBC, Australian television, morning shows in Ria (Italy), and productions spanning Europe, the USA, and Canada. I’ve had the honour of working alongside notable figures like Simon Calder and Rudy Maxa, contributing to several broadcasts over the course of my career.
