Factory Originality - JNQ&Co. X 333Photo.com
The majority of the cars I tend to shoot usually have an extensive list of modifications: lowered suspension, larger & wider wheels, big turbos… you name it. I believe that car enthusiasts are able to show their personality and individuality by customizing the different components of their vehicle, by replacing “stock” factory pieces with aftermarket products.

David & Jacqueline - Wedding Shoot Preview
Years ago when I first picked up a camera, it was purely for my own pleasure. I didn’t really have any “live” subjects to take photos of, so I turned to my passion in cars. Simple enough: a boxy piece of metal, which sits immobile in a parking lot, giving me freedom to experiment.
Fast forward a few years later (realization that I’m getting old just kicked in), I’ve...

Reyem & Cheryl - Wedding Shoot
A little over 5 years ago, I witnessed Reyem & Cheryl exchanged vows at the altar. Since then, not only have I seen their love grow for one another, but I am also blessed to see their family grow as well.
Reyem & Cheryl asked if I would do the honours of re-shooting their wedding photos, which I gladly accepted. After 5 years and 3 children, they continue to be the couple to be modelled...

EUROKRACY 2012 - Event Coverage
For those of you who are not following JNQ&Co.’s Facebook page, you might have missed the event album I uploaded a few days after the show.
Big thanks to Rick, Jesse & Sergio who organized the event, to allow me full-access to shoot for them. There was waaaay too many quality cars & cool people to take photos of, not to mention the organized events (limbo, burn-out competition)...

Christophe & Isabel - ENGAGEMENT SHOOT
I met Isabel a few months ago when she modelled for one of her friends who was doing a make-up workshop. With their wedding coming next year, Isabel & fiancé Christophe contacted me for an engagement shoot.
When I asked them how they met, the first thing that came out from the both of them was a harmonious laugh. From their reaction, I knew they had a great story to share. Believe it or...

EUROKRACY 2012 - Special Mission
In between taking photos of the event and hanging out with other car enthusiasts, I set myself on a Special Mission. The reason for documenting it on video is to be able to display the environment of the meets & events that we all love to attend. In the Montreal euro-car scene, you’ll experience an easy-going attitude and laid-back sense of humor, yet a serious love & passion in...

5 MINUTE FRESHEN UP
So I get a message from Jesse from AirSociety.net:
Jesse: “Tonight? Going for my wheels now.” JNQ: “Stop by the meet ASAP, I’ll give you 5 minutes.”
Sorry I had to run, always on the #WorkHardPlayHard mindset.
You can also see the photos on Facebook to share them as well.

"Private" JDM Monday feat. LOCAL HERO
Legend has it that, a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away (Ste-Dorothee is far for me…), existed the largest car meet in the area. These meets began sometime last summer, and sadly enough, suffered the same fate, but much much sooner this year.
Due to a few immature car owners, the large parking lot around the Ste-Dorothee Mega-Center is no longer hosting (what I was told) 1000+ cars on...

Wednesday South Shore / Dix30 Meets
The Montreal car scene seems to be growing more and more every year. Last year, Julep Tuesdays re-established an ever-growing VW/Audi community and (not so JDM) JDM Mondays @ Mega-Center Ste-Dorothee showed that it is possible to have a large amount of enthusiasts together, no matter the make/model/origin/style of the car.
The Wednesday South Shore meets at Wal-Mart Dix30 seems to be kicking off...

Varadero - November 2011
Last November, I took a vacation to Varadero, Cuba, and I’ve finally found the time to edit some of the photos. During the trip, I realized that I didn’t enjoy holding onto a DSLR while I explore the sights, sounds and tastes another country. Currently shopping for a smaller, travel-friendly camera…. Any suggestions? Enjoy these shots taken with the Nikon D7000.

Fresh to Death - JNQ&Co. X 333 Photo
Good friend Evan from 333 Montreal created this design as a representation of that which is “always being fashionable until the very end.” This idea was then transferred to a custom embroidered hat, which I am wearing in this photo.
I believe this statement also describes the concepts behind 333 Montreal. Visit 333 Blog, and see the creativity and originality that is expressed in...

They are such generous and thoughtful people, and made sure that everyone at their engagement party was having a good time, even/especially their photographer!
Despite the chilly day yesterday, they...

Reyem's Daily Grocery Getter
Here are photos of fellow v-dubber, and good friend, Reyem’s bagged B5 Passat wagon. I had a chance to take a few before he left for the H2O International event.
He custom built his own bag set-up for his daily driver. You might ask yourself “why a bagged Passat?” Not only is it a head-turner, but it comes very practical when driving his wife and 3 children around.
