Josee Talbot

Graphic designer and photographer by profession, I come from Québec City, in a district of Limoilou, now settled in Lotbinière. Passionate about horses since my childhood, I drew them everywhere! I even won several drawing contests! On school benches, I dreamed of wide open spaces, manes in the wind, open nostrils, wild gallopades, the sound of hooves, in short, horses lived in my imagination! Film photography was a discovery for me while I was studying design at Cégep de Sainte-Foy in the 80s. In 2008, I decided to do it more seriously, but in digital this time. I photographed horse shows for 6 years. Knowing this sport well, I managed to make shots that highlight my clients and their horses. I specialize in equine (and equestrian), wildlife, nature and landscape photography. I was a member of the Professional Photographers of Canada from 2014 to 2022. I obtained 3 accreditations while I was a member (equine, fine arts and botanical). I had very good results at National Image Competitions and some of my images are part of the Loan Collection. In 2017, I got an Excellence and a Best in Class with my image “The Left Turn” in the Fine Art category and it is also part of the Loan Collection. A great honor! In April 2020, I got my Craftman of Photographic Arts (CPA), then, in 2021, I got my Master of Photographic Arts, designations received from the Professional Photographers of Canada. A great accomplishment and above all, great recognition from my peers! More and more, I like to push my images further and work with the graphic tablet with softwares such as Photoshop and Topaz Impression, which is called digital art. By thus working my images, I stand out by my unique style, the rendering of the gestuals, and sometimes even, to confuse a photograph with a painting. I aim to produce Fine Art images. In 2018, I'm exhibiting for the first time in a charming restaurant in Vallée-Jonction, Le Resto St-Vincent. A great experience and a success! I also offered my first equine photography workshop in September 2018 and another one in August 2020. There will surely be others! All my images are available in giclee print on canvas, on Arches paper or photo paper.
