For more than fifteen years, Jean-Pierre has not only worked at CBC in film and electronic editing but also in the graphic arts. In 2004, he launches his career as an artist of photography. The serene personality of Jean-Pierre leads him to seek and observe the unusual, the hidden in nature. Nature’s simplicity and beauty found in all seasons, nourishes the artists’ passion to capture these discoveries and to share them by photography. Jean-Pierre knows how to capture the purest elements in nature.
