Finally, this is the last part of the b&w serie we shot last summer with some of the Comic artists from the french side at the world famous Festival Juste pour Rire.

We cannot thank them enough for their generous complicity and time. You see, these guys are highly in demand during the Festival and, each day, we are the very last people taking them in photographs. Our booth is set up next to the VIP tents allowing us only very late at night, after all the shows are over, to grab them by the arm and lead them to our backdrop. But every single time, each and everyone collaborated perfectly and delivered what we were asking for including the big names such as Anthony Kavanagh, Stéphane Rousseau, Franck Dubosc, Sugar Sammy, the guys from Chick’n Swell and special guests this year: Yves P. Pelletier, André Ducharme, Guy A. Lepage and Bruno Landry for the RBO quartet.

Unfortunately, for different reasons, year after year, we cannot shot them all, but we manage every time to photograph a fair amount of Comics.

We sincerely hope you enjoyed these last 2 posts about these b&w portraits as much we enjoy right now revealing them to you after such a long wait of 4 months since the original shootings.

For the fifth year in a row, I photographed a whole lot of action for Juste pour Rire. Here are some of the best pictures I took last summer at their Montreal Festival. Mainly, I spent my time cruisin’ St-Denis street looking for the beautiful things to happen. The remainder of the time, i shot faces in the VIP tents late at night. Tomorrow, I will show you these final portraits from the VIP comic artists.
