Daniel Castonguay is a street photographer based in Montreal, Canada. He started photography in 1979. Living in a great city, He was naturally driven to street photography and depicting the quotidian life in its simplest form. When he started in this field of photography, he worked accordingly to the established standards of the style. At a certain point, he got bored of not being able to illustrate the mood of the “moment”. In order to give a more authentic touch to his work, audacious and challenging the rules, he began to process his imagery to make it a little more mysterious. This had the effect of combining simple moments of life with his state of mind, ending up in a unique "creative street photography" style, hence the name of his series "Quotidian Life". The quotidian life is more or less the same for all with a few variations. A part of his work as a "creative street photographer" is to bring this daily life into a world of fantasy, something related to abstraction. This creates a duality, a paradox. The paradox of the ordinary life in a universe that exists only in one's own imagination that can literally be anything but still being able to relate to. For him, photography is a mode of expression in the same way as writing or playing music. Transmitting an emotion is the essence of his photographic work, bringing the viewer into a story. More specifically, to make the viewer travel in a world of reverie, leaving all the space to imagination. Laureate of the prestigious Fine Art Photo Award of the year 2019 at the Monovisions Photography Awards in London, Daniel has been published more than 30 times in 17 countries. His particular creative street photography style is greatly influenced by the Masters Leonard Misonne, Alfred Stieglitz and Saul Leiter who knew, each in their own way, how to depict the atmosphere of the moment in order to bring life to their imagery. According to Daniel, being a street photographer is above all playing a role in the urban life framework, contribute to its vivacity, its pace and almost belonging to a chaotic scenario. As Daniel says, "To me, street photography is more than a “picture making business“, it’s being part of a continuous theatrical sketch where I play the role of a silenced character".
