I’m Alain Dahan, a professional photographer, visual artist and 20-year veteran location manager for the film industry and this is my city, Montreal, Quebec!

Montreal: A city photographers love

Montreal is a beautiful blend of European and North American sights and sensibilities. It hosts limitless scenic possibilities that adventurous photographers love. One of the oldest cities on the continent, it is also one of the most avant-garde. Situated just north of the U.S.-Canada border, Montreal continues to prize both its French heritage and bilingual character that it has cultivated over the centuries.

Beautiful to shoot and enjoy the good life too!

With an endless variety of cultural events encompassing world-class jazz and comedy festivals and Formula One racing plus nightclubs, theaters and outstanding restaurants, Montreal is not only an exciting place for a photographer but it’s also a remarkably safe and affordable place to enjoy the good life.

So bring your camera to Montreal and delve into the exciting creative opportunities this unique city presents. Thanks to my 20 years as a location scout on major motion pictures and TV shoots, I know how to get access to the best and hardest to find locations plus many other resources that together will fulfill your most cherished creative ambitions.

HOW IT WORKS: YOUR MADE-TO-MEASURE PHOTO TOUR

STEP 1: SKYPE™ or telephone consultation

No two photo shoots are alike, so take 30 minutes with me over the phone. We’ll discuss your interests and everything you will need for a successful photo shoot. I can help you with equipment, technical assistance or a workshop depending on your skill level or ambition. And since I’ve managed locations for the movie industry for years, I know all the great locations that will make your trip memorable as well as productive.

STEP 2: I create your itinerary and plan your exclusive photo tour

Making sure your trip proceeds without a hitch will help you keep the focus on your photography. I will pilot you quickly from location to location, arrange for weather contingencies and navigate the details of each individual location.

STEP 3: Your arrival in Montreal

If you wish, I can pick you up at the airport or your hotel and I know all the great restaurants and entertainment venues that will enhance your visit before, during and after your photo shoot.

STEP 4: Shoot!

I’m with you all the way. Don’t worry about speaking French,  location or studio issues. As a professional photographer I can custom build a workshop and help you with tips and tricks to realize any creative aspirations you may have that exceed your current skill level.
