Alexandre Baril 

Directeur - Epic Action Imagery (Canada)

Aussi loin que je me souvienne, j'ai toujours été attiré et passionné par la photo animalière. Lorsque j'ai découvert la photographie sportive, en 2014, j'ai naturellement commencé à prendre des photos de divers sports, qui m’a mené à avoir des opportunités de couvrir des courses de classe mondiale.

Je suis totalement autodidacte, mais j'ai pu, au fil des années, découvrir d'autres univers photographiques afin d'acquérir des techniques et une perspective qui me permettent aujourd'hui de m'adapter aux demandes et besoins variés de nos clients.

Mon objectif est de répondre à vos attentes et de vous offrir un excellent service et des images exceptionnelles.

Et maintenant en anglais.

As far as I can remember, I have always been attracted and passionate about wildlife photography.

When I discovered sports photography, in 2014, I naturally started taking pictures of various sports, which led me to having opportunities to cover world-class races. I am totally self-taught, but I have been able, over the years, to discover other photographic universes in order to acquire techniques and a perspective that allow me today to adapt to the varied demands and needs of our clients.

My goal is to meet your expectations and provide you with excellent service and exceptional images.
