Marcel Petit doesn’t mince words – he openly shares his journey, philosophy and desire to not only take a great photograph but connect with his environment. He is thoughtful about why he takes photographs and mindful of how he is capturing an image; he isn’t ok with being on default. Marcel is very respectful of the subject and strives to create a strong story. In his community, Marcel is known for much more than photography and he works to create discourse and builds bridges wherever he goes. When you mix in a great sense of humour and the ability to have some fun around everyday ideas, Marcel is going to continue to inspire both other artists but also those within his community.

It was a real honour to speak to Marcel and both his community work as well as his photography. I hope that you are inspired to put down your camera and look around your community to see the beauty that is around you.
