Pierre Fortin - Photographer           
English version


Birthplace: Rivière-du-Loup, Québec, Canada Birthdate: May 5th 1963
I live in Montreal since 7 years now. I started doing photography at the age of 14. I was doing pictures during my travels, weddings of friends and also for special events. Most recently, I have touched Portrait. It was a turning point in my mind. I really loved doing Portrait. Portrait brought back in me the passion of photography. My inspiration comes from every where... Some names of great photographers I appreciate: Sieff, DeMarchelier, Leibovic, Jonvelle, Doisneau, Cartier-Bresson.... There is also the fashion magazines I love to look at. I worked for a modeling agency for about 8 months. It was a great experience that allowed me to get confidence in what I was doing. I also got the chance to experiment some processing during that time. I discover the Cross-Processing (E-6 to C-41)! I'm doing photo for fun! You have to like the things you're doing in your life and I love doing pictures!
