Originally from Quebec, Louis-Pierre spent childhood summers exploring the Montreal countryside with his grandfather, catching bullfrogs, searching for insects and toads, and waiting quietly for white-tailed deer to cross the fields. At home, he read biology textbooks with his mother while his father turned an old shed into an “explorer’s hangar,” where Louis-Pierre kept aquariums and made drawings and notes to record his observations.

That early curiosity about nature led Louis-Pierre to study biology. At the University of Quebec, he earned a master’s degree focused on Arctic fox ecology, which took him to Bylot Island, Nunavut, for several field seasons. Months living in remote Arctic camps reinforced a lesson he began learning as a child: understanding and appreciating wildlife starts with careful observation.

Photography became an extension of that approach—a way to study animal behavior and share what fascinated him with others. Louis-Pierre has photographed wildlife across Canada, from Arctic foxes on the tundra to grizzly bears along the coast of British Columbia. In 2023, he won the terrestrial wildlife category in Canadian Geographic’s annual wildlife photography competition.

His background in biology helps him interpret animal behavior and teach guests which cues to watch for when composing photographs. He enjoys helping travelers improve their photography while deepening their understanding of wildlife. For Louis-Pierre, wildlife photography is a natural progression of his childhood curiosity about the natural world: a way to observe animals closely and share his excitement about them with others.
