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 ...
