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, for example, that lead to a more sensational conundrum, as seen in the genre of street photography, or, in a more  mundane, translative side of the discourse, as depicted in a family photo album. Both, however, amazing and humdrum, represent true facts and false evidences (1) , to be sure.

In his work he 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; or as a modernist from the beginning of the twentieth century picturing landscape and architecture as visual support for other crafts; or again, 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 the senses and reality unfolding with the distinctive flat surface of a photograph, weather in black and white or in color, in roll or sheet of  film as well as digitally produced. At times in a dramatic play of light and shadow, or in a more confined down-to-earth phenomenological approach.

In a few words, its cold hearted core.
