This
short blog recalls a time in my life, in fashion
consciousness, of the 80's. In research for photographs that can support this Assignment # 5, I came to be reacquainted with an artist who captured women's essence as art subject and as audience.
The renowned international art-photographer is Pierre Choiniere, who resides in Montreal.
He was born in 1958 in Saint-Jérôme, Quebec and attended School of
Modern photography in Manhattan, New York, “where several famous
artists, including the famous portraitist Yousuf Karsh, taught him
the love of photography” (hebdopress).
Choiniere quickly made his
debut in photography decoration and architecture. In Canada he is
considered a pioneer in Quebec fashion photography, and who launched
visual life to Clin d’œil and Elle Québec magazines.
In 1988 he
moved to Paris and established himself within the super-powerhouses
of advertizing and fashion industry.
Choiniere now resides in
Montreal where he exhibits his exquisite contemporary art work of
personal photo-journalistic projects on his travels in Morocco and
Mongolia.
Espace
40 Mile End
is his gallery, inspired by passionate artists that create external
artistic events. Choiniere has a published book Paraffine,
in which reveals the world of the Amira Bougies plant in Marrakech,
supported by his stunning photographs.
There is a so much more about
Choiniere, so don't be surprise if his name pops up in many top-photographer lists.
