The Team

PhotoShoot Awards represents a collective vision of photography and a desire to offer a means of showcasing artistic creation. For all the team members, photography should be a portrayal of beauty and hope which runs counter to the ambient depression and violence current in our society.

Patrick and Nicolas, old friends, have collaborated in the creation of PhotoShoot Awards; each bringing their experience and strengths to celebrate photography. The underlying philosophy of PhotoShoot Awards is one of humanism and international vision.

Our thanks go to Etienne, Sue, Jane, Keiko, Geneviève, Saskia, Louis, Renan, Anaïs, Maria, Lucinda, Julien, Tomomi and Didier.

Patrick Lesort

PatrickInitiated at a very young age to the magic of images and the photo lab, Patrick attended photography school in Paris. From 1975, Patrick worked as a portrait and interior design photographer. He branched out later to graphic arts where he was Art Director for numerous design studios in Paris, Aix-en-Provence (France) and then in Montreal. Editor-in-Chief for a number of trade magazines, Patrick also became responsible for the contests Grafika (graphic design) and Lux (professional photography). At the same time, he founded his own company, les Productions Hors cadre, and became involved in the organization of cultural events.
PhotoShoot Awards is a project that has come into fruition and emphasizes Patrick's passion for artistic photography. For the past 15 years, under his artist name (Roland Cabon), Patrick continues to create his images, namely artistic nudes, which have appeared in numerous print publications and exposed in exhibits in Montreal and in France, in particular at the Festival européen de photo de nu d'Arles, in 2006.

Nicolas Wasmer

NicoNicolas Wasmer is a talented web specialist in great demand whether in Quebec, France or Japan. While creating websites for Infopresse, the magazine publisher in Montreal, Nicolas discovered a new passion for photography. The websites for Grafika and Lux, the latter being a competition showcasing the works of professional photographers in Quebec, sparked Nicolas' imagination for a venue that would join both mediums, web and photography. His friendship with Patrick triggers the idea behind PhotoShoot Awards, a series of web-based photography competitions. From this point forward, it was conceivable that their idea would become reality. Nicolas is also President of Abekobe, a company specializing in the translation of Asian languages, where he works with his wife, Keiko, of Japanese origin. In addition, he has recently created the website of l'Institut de tourisme et d'hôtellerie du Québec (ITHQ) in Montreal.
