Dieppe-based photographer Andre Poirier grew up with an appreciation for landscapes and travel. Born and raised in coastal New Brunswick, he intuitively understood the solace of natural spaces. Later, while pursuing medical studies in Quebec, Andre purchased a Sony camera and traveled to nearby lakes and mountains, hoping the challenge of learning photography would provide stress relief. It became much more than that.
Photography taught him the thrill of discovery. It altered his perspective by inviting him to enter the landscape. To wait for the light. To listen to the stories.
Deeply influenced by the creative genius of Ansel Adams, and his ability to emotionally connect the viewer to the photographed landscape, as well as the panoramic drama and colour techniques of Peter Lik, Andre embarked upon a quest for excellence in his own photographic skills.
Today, he and his wife Melanie travel to some of the world’s most cherished and majestic locales hoping to capture the perfect image. The same skills he employs as a surgeon—patience, preparation, precision, envisioning outcome—serve him well as he carefully plans each photoshoot to the tiniest detail.
