Samedi dernier avait lieu le bal du MAC. Le bal du MAC est une soirée levée de fond où 600 personnes viennent en aide au Musée d'art contemporain en échange d'une soirée chic. Pour l'occasion, Anita Bombita était en charge de la direction artistique du volet performances et m'a mandaté pour documenter ce volet. Voici ma sélection.
Francois Lebaron at Igloofest - Photo documentary
Lately, I have been enjoying more and more the documentary aspect of photography. Being there at the right moment. Capturing something that's worth showing. I get all excited when I get to snap that magic instant and freezing it in time. I realize that I am stimulated and inspired by improvisation. Feeling the vibration, anticipating, putting myself at the right place just before it happens. I am fascinated with people, characters. If I could, I would observe people for a living. Maybe I can... With my camera? Work in progress (WIP) I have known Francois for about 12 years now. In my DJ days, we where playing a lot together. We also had residencies together in Montreal in big venues like Unity, Circus and Stereo. Since I've retired from the scene in 2007, François hasn't stopped to rock the crowds in Montreal. His love and dedication to music that has soul makes him one of the best DJs I know. I am very proud to be part of his friends.

We spent some time backstage waiting to start.

Right after the end, I went to the main stage and found my friend Mateo.
Here we can see Adam Beyer at the end of his set. The place was packed!
