Jean-Maurice "JM" Cormier
​Vice-President

Born and raised in the Maritimes, educated in Quebec, working in Ontario – decided to stay here for a while – make that 30+ years…  An amateur photographer for sure, still trying all the angles.  Because visual stimulation is all around us, and at times overwhelming, I think my ultimate goal in sharing the photos I take is to make people pause, think and be briefly carried away, rather than having them quickly swipe left on a screen.

Laura Willems

A hobbiest photographer, Laura  enjoys taking pictures of nature and experimenting with macro. A second-hand camera in high school started her love of capturing the images that emotionally intrigued her.

I am a photographer enthusiast! I definitely love being behind the camera rather than in front. I've been dabbling with photography over the past 6 years. It's been a journey of learning who I am, to see moments in little things, and being unafraid of experimenting, making mistakes, and learning from them!

"Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography. " - George Eastman
