Malakoteron

I am an amateur photographer based in Montreal. I started taking photos seriously around two years ago after I gave up performance art and painting.

I grew up in the funeral parlour of a small town. I am a writer by profession but was trained in philosophy, design and art history. 

I use both digital and film cameras. Many of the cameras I use are of the 'toy' variety. They were deliberately chosen because of their substantial limitations. Some distort colour, some fill space with noise, some leak light, others crack the images. They each have a distinct eye which I can not entirely control but must learn to work with; I collaborate with the camera.

I use cold lights and flood lights.
I like tenebrism.
I never forget that we're related to monkeys.
I'm not sure what nudity really is.
I don't use Photoshop. I use the cheapest image editor I could find but mostly just for cropping.
I'm interested in the materiality of the photo and its content.

I would be more than happy to collaborate with anyone on a project. Although I generally shoot nudes, I'm very open minded as far as concepts go. I would be glad to work with men or women of any range of experience or body type.
