Hey,
I’m Antonia, a freelance photographer based in Montreal, Canada.
I love images. I love stories. I love animals. Yes, yes, all of them.
I feel particularly compelled to give extra love to those who are in need; the abandoned ones, the sick ones, the sad ones, the scared ones… But I also love the joyful, playful, naughty ones. I am willing to help turning the miserable ones to happy ones, I’m also willing to celebrate the beauty of the relationships between animals and humans.
I believe that we, human beings, supreme as we claim to be, need to show excellence by helping others in need, by creating a beautiful world for us all to live in, by thriving in harmony with all living creatures on this planet.
My 25 years of experience in film production and distribution fills my everyday reality with different stories. They are either real stories or stories born in someone’s fruitful imagination. These stories are important part of every culture, conveying messages of wisdom, sadness and hope. Today I feel that we need to tell even more stories of beauty and strength.
I started doing photography many years ago, but my “aha” moment happened when I discovered that photography helps me see better, in literal and figurative way. Very myopic since my childhood, I always felt that I was missing many details of this beautiful world. Photographic cameras and lenses help me not only see better, but to go further in my discoveries. I get a glimpse of microscopic objects and I reach remote subjects when I look through the viewfinder. I now can freeze the time, blur the movement or memorize the fleeting expression in someone’s eyes.
In this world of chaos, photography is my way to stay grounded, to remain hopeful, to believe in kindness. Photography is my meditation, my way of channelling the positive energy, my way of telling a story. A story of an animal, a story of a plant, a story of nature itself.
Together, let’s celebrate the beauty that surrounds us. If you are ready to explore the possibilities, let’s get in touch.
