Christian Fleury - KT: Montreal corporate & industrial photographers

As a photographer Christian Fleury says his mission is "to tell a story with each of his pictures," stories about people, places, situations and ideas. And to truly capture the moment that tells the story, he must be in it himself.

Christian's clients say it is because he takes the time to refine the texture and light in each shot so carefully, that they see him becoming completely involved with every subject. The result of his process are images that offer viewers a unique and original perspective, one that draws them into his stories.

Clients include BMO, McCarthy Tétrault and McGill University.
