About Artist

Daniel Castonguay

Award-winning photographer Daniel Castonguay is a street photographer based in Montreal, Canada. Daniel began photography in 1979 as an extracurricular activity and without completely putting aside his passion for photography, he pursued his studies and obtained in 1989, a Professional Electrical Engineering degree at "Université du Québec à Chicoutimi" in Canada. Living in a great city, he was naturally driven to street photography and depicting quotidian life in its simplest form. When he started in this field of photography, he worked according to the established standards of the style and at a certain point, he got bored of not being able to illustrate the mood of the “moment”. In order to give a more authentic touch to his work, audacious and greatly influenced by the early 20th century pictorialist movement and artists such as Alfred Stieglitz, Robert Demachy and Léonard Misonne, he began to process his imagery to make it a little more mysterious. This had the effect of combining simple moments of life with his state of mind, ending up in a unique "creative street photography" style, hence the name of his series "Quotidian Life".
