A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of working with a tv crew from Winnipeg’s own french film & tv production company, Les Productions Rivard, who also used to be my former employer. Working at Rivard Productions was an unforgettable experience and I’ll always treasure my time there – but a career in photography had a stronger pull on me, and alas, I had to let go of my job there to pursue what I do today. Needless to say, it was great to see some familiar faces and to work on a small piece for an episode of Viens Voir Ici (a national tv series that features francophones across Canada). The episode that I participated in also included other local francophone artists such as Andréanne Dandeneau (clothing designer extraordinaire) and the very popular and much-loved Bijou (amazing jewelry designers who happen to be very popular with a lot of my brides). The show’s host was decked out in Andréanne’s Voilà clothing line and jewelry by Bijou and I was her photographer for a mini fashion shoot at my studio and on Arthur Street. Thanks to the hard-working crew and enthusiasm of François, the director, we got some great shots and hopefully some great footage for the episode (set to air sometime in the Fall, on TVA). Here are some highlights from our shoot:
(Update: the episode will be aired on TVA at 11:30am CST on Saturday September 11)
