Pierre Cavale
Pierre Cavale - Professionnal photograph
For a photographer, light is everything. I prefer my light to be natural. The dialogue between me and the light becomes a chess game in which I always concede the blanks. I develop my strategy according to its openness.
The origins of this photographic journey
I was doing my morning yoga session when, through the curtain in my bedroom, I caught sight of this book of light with two blank pages. I saw in it the unwritten story of the new day to be lived and created. And I took a photo. It's amazing how many images I've made with the objects that surround me in the morning, when the sun floods every surface. Over time, I've accumulated, sorted and worked on a huge number of them. This tour presents seven of them.
A storyteller
Through all the jobs I do, I define myself as a storyteller. When I conceive my images, a narrative is woven in my head. Sometimes the result is a story, long or short, like the ones I'm sharing with you here.
The artist
After studying at the Conservatoire d'art dramatique de Montréal, Pierre Cavale began his career as an actor. He then spread his wings as a filmmaker, author, composer, radio host, photographer and digital artist. In recent years, he has taken part in several group exhibitions, in addition to signing his first major solo in 2023.
At the same time, he has played a number of TV roles. His performance in STAT, where he played the role of serial killer Harold Bérubé, was particularly memorable.
