Hi — I'm Ian.
I make portraits
I make portraits
of people who don't
love being photographed.
Montreal-based photographer working out of a small studio in the West Island. Families, couples, headshots, the occasional small brand. Natural light, slow pace, ninety minutes door to door.
If you've been putting off a portrait for years — that's most of my clients. You're in the right place.
What I shoot
Four kinds of sessions.
Same camera, same room, same patience —
slightly different conversations.
Couples
A slow walk and a quiet camera.
Headshots
One good portrait, not a press kit.
Brand
Small businesses, real people, no stock.
How it works
Three steps. None of them mysterious.
