About Light Director & Montreal Fashion Photographer

Black and white portrait of Philippe Manh, fashion photographer and lighting director based in Montreal

Montreal fashion photographer, retoucher, and lighting director with a bold, cinematic eye. My work lives between spontaneity and precision, photographs that provoke, seduce, and endure long after the shoot ends.

Over a decade in Montreal's fashion and creative industry, shaping a visual language that speaks to brands and publications alike. Collaborations with Garage and Groupe Sensation Mode. Work published in Clin d'Oeil and Vanity Teens LA, spanning editorial spreads, runway events, and commercial campaigns across Quebec and beyond.

Every scene starts as a lighting problem first. That's what gives the work depth, intention, and a signature that holds up in print, on screen, across formats. Retouching follows the same discipline, a creative decision, not a corrective one. From first frame to final file, every choice serves one coherent, lasting image.

Beyond the camera: production management, art direction, brand strategy. Editorial and commercial each demand something different, and delivering on both means being one reliable partner from concept to final delivery, no juggling multiple vendors.
