Highway 40 Quebec-Montreal Here are 15 photos from a series of 32 "chronicling" a trip from Quebec City to Montreal on Highway 40 at sunset. I took advantage of the fact that I wasn't the driver to photograph the landscape along the highway, using relatively slow exposure times to obtain deliberate abstractions. The effect varies according to the nature, variety and distance of the vegetation that borders it, but also…

Paths get lost or they find each other again. There are those who no longer offer a way out, those who are a birth, those who destroy themselves, and those who discover a new heaven.…

Mercurial Alchemists believe in the ultimate unity of matter and spirit; the direct correlation that exists between the tangible physical world (the Body) and the immaterial realm of consciousness (the Soul).

As Above, So Below:…

My photographs are tableaux vivants, or “living pictures,” in the traditional sense of the term.

They persist to this day at arts festivals such as the Pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach, CA. In…

Synonymous with the art of travel since 1854, Les Éditions Louis Vuitton continues to add titles to its "Fashion Eye" collection.

Through her photographs where the pencil sometimes extends her gaze, where she can also introduce elements that she will have gleaned from the nature that she penetrates emotionally, where man or animal also appears, Dana Cojbuc transports us to mysterious, dreamlike, reinvented worlds… and the magic happens.

None of them consider themselves to be photographers, but all use the medium's technique to dig into the depths of photographic material and offer new, more pictorial representations of reality. Dark circles, delineations, blended…
