Jean Chartrand DigitalPixs
(Ottawa, ON)
I have been working in the photography field for 30 years. I worked for the National Film Board of Canada, Kodak Canada, Danka International and myself. I have made prints for Karsh, photographed a couple of Prime Ministers, Princess Diana, Paul Gross, Caroline Dhavernas but I also photograph everyday people's weddings, family portraits and special events.
Always looking to improve myself, I attend seminars, workshops and enter print shows to challenge myself as a photographer. In 2011, I received my Masters designation from the PPOC.
For me photography is more than just a job, I love the creativity, I love the challenges of a shoot, I love the teachers who share their knowledge with us.
I look forward to see all of your images. |
