About David Giral Photography

ENGLISH Bio

Born in a Land of Legends, Brittany (France), David also lived in the city of lights, Paris before moving to Montreal in 1997.

Fascinated since his young age by beautiful architecture, landscapes and people, he discovered his passion for photography in 2004. Since then, his purpose in life has become to capture the beauty and the soul of the most amazing people and places wherever he is.

Through his travel and architecture photographs, he strives to capture a vibrant and beautiful reality. In portraiture, he is dedicated to create authentic yet powerful portraits and actors headshots. Overall, his purpose is for his audience to feel as if they are part of each picture experiencing each image as vividly and sharply as possible with maximum details.

Through his experience studying in geology and environmental management and with 5 years working as an QA architect/designer in test automation for a financial exchange, David brings to the table his experience on how to manage projects rigourously and respect deadlines and create efficient processes as a photographer while staying creative.

For him, Montreal is the perfect place to be, right in the middle of his favorite cities of Paris, NY, Toronto and LA. His international background combined with a certification in neuro-linguistic programming makes him a great asset for his clients with his ability to shift between a north-american and a european perspective.
