Artist photographer Louis Lapointe (1962...) is a bachelor of Montreal's Concordia University with a Photography major (1992).

Through his vision unfolds an extra-ordinary narrative  about the surroundings one immerses himself in. Any circumstance in life, as his practical philosophy points out, produces its  eloquent alterations from which  life unfolds itself in space and time; situations that lead to a more sensational conundrum as seen through  war photography, for example , or, on a more  mundane, translative side of the discourse, such as photos  in a family album. Both, however, amazing and humdrum, represent true facts and false evidence, for sure.

In his work Louis is constantly relying upon the history of photography, from its beginning to the present time, in order to inform his practice. Be it as a street photographer following the practitioners of the 60's and 70's,  as a modernist from the beginning of the XX th century picturing landscape and architecture as visual support for painters, or, more intricately, as a post-modern artist reflecting on his own practice. He  enhances what is central to the existence of a photograph: the encounter of senses and reality: the distinct flat surface of a photo weather in black and white or in color, as a slice or sheet of film as well as digitally produced; at times Romantic, in a dramatic play of light and shadow, or in a more down-to-earth approach of a phenomenon nature . In a few words, its cold hearted core.
