The photographer's eye

Michel Dubreuil CANADA • Why photography?

I never chose to be a photographer, I simply started borrowing my father’s camera to take pictures. I was 16 years old; ever since, I have never stopped doing photography, it has become my profession and remains my means of expression.

• Define your vision?

Attraction, intuition, atmosphere, to document, to attempt, softness and contrast, discovery, mix of colours, abstractions, observation, enchantment, the unusual- all these words point to my vision and my desire to take a photo.

• What makes a great picture?

An exceptional shot contains a wellbalanced composition and captures an intuitive personal truth
