Personal projects

                      Notwithstanding the fact that Guy Tessier is a professional photographer based in Montreal with several years of experience in the commercial photography sector, he loves to invest himself occasionally in personal projects. His creative process can take shape both in his studio, located in downtown Montreal or outside.

                      The common thread of his artistic approach always refers to his studies in anthropology. A certain look at the current world in which we evolve. In the personal project’s gallery, we find what could be described as contemporary visual ethnographies. His photographs bring a certain perspective on different social subjects. We find an interpretation of the punk movement, western demonstrations made in Quebec, modern artifacts, architectural delirium from the 70s, urban plant furies and testimonies of the passing of time.

                       Photography is much more than a job for him. It’s a way of life. An extension of his person. The job has allowed him to travel, meet, see so many people, places and environments. He just doesn’t see how he could ever end this beautiful and rich career. When he invests himself in his personal projects, he finds the same passion, curiosity, excitement as at the time when the image in BW appeared for the first time in the darkroom.
