Still from the short film Everyone has his own idea about Canada shot on Canon r5C
Whenever I explore iconic places, I’m eager to uncover their history. The evolution of a location, whether shaped by natural forces or human intervention, has always fascinated me. That’s why I film these places. Then, through meticulous editing, I blend my footage with archival films and photographs, creating a bridge between yesterday and today. I find this juxtaposition incredibly captivating. Each image tells a story, and looking back into the past reveals how much we have evolved over the centuries and how humanity has impacted the Earth—both for better and for worse. But it also highlights what remains to be explored and protected. It’s a way to celebrate the richness of time and the evolution of our environment.

The land of the shining mountains is a high country of living glaciers and emerald lakes. Of tumbling and singing cascades and peaceful alpine meadows. Here amid grandeur and solitude, nature offers health and peace for those who love her great spaces, blue sky and the silence of mountain lakes.
But every person has his own idea about Canada.
