from passion to professionalization
meeting with two photographers quebecers
dominique bouchard & daniel nobert

We don’t often see them near their works.Photographers.Who are they? What do they do? How do they work?
I had the luck to be photographed by two of them, Dominique and Daniel and to discuss with them.
First of all, you have to know that it is not their core business.

ominique : He explains me
how he “falls” into the photography at
13 years old.
In fact, he has started to create pictures a little bit by obligation, because
following a broken leg; he had to
choose a course for the purpose of replacing the one of physical education.
He developed therefore his negatives
in black and white and made his own
enlargements in darkroom. Later on,
he took other courses on the web.

aniel : Photography is a passion he has developed from its earliest stages, unfortunately, his reduced
mobility and his obligation to take an anticipated retirement have been trigger points to professional practice.Therefore, for seven years, reading books, viewing
of videos, practice of different modes-and far from least
important –master of main inherent techniques, are
part of daily life of this autodidact.
