Studio Work – Exploring Light, Motion, and Time

Inside the walls of Xangle Studio in Montréal, every beam of light becomes a brushstroke, and every movement becomes part of a larger choreography of time. My studio work is where the technical meets the poetic, where light-painting, multi-camera photography, and volumetric capture merge into immersive visual narratives.

Over the years, this black-box space has evolved into a creative laboratory dedicated to the exploration of light in all its forms. From minimalist long-exposure portraits to complex 360-degree installations involving hundreds of synchronized cameras, everything created here stems from one guiding principle: capturing the invisible traces of movement that define human presence.

Light-Painting Photography in the Studio

While much of my light-painting work happens outdoors under the stars, the studio brings a different dimension: one of precision and control. In this environment, I can refine the geometry of light trails, explore color layering, and experiment with the relationship between the performer and the surrounding light.
Each session is an ongoing dialogue between technology and gesture, between the human body and the physics of illumination. The studio’s total blackout setting allows for absolute darkness, transforming the space into a blank canvas where every spark of light takes on meaning.

Multi-Camera and Bullet-Time Experiments

Beyond traditional photography, my studio is also home to a multi-camera capture system developed over more than a decade of research and engineering. Using up to 400 synchronized cameras, we can freeze moments in motion, rotate around a subject in real time, or reconstruct entire scenes in 3D.
These systems have been featured in major exhibitions and brand activations around the world, from immersive art installations to high-end photobooth experiences. In the studio, this technology serves as a creative tool to explore movement from multiple perspectives, blending photography, sculpture, and time itself.

Collaborations and Creative Projects

The studio serves as a meeting point between art and collaboration. Over the years, I’ve worked with dancers, performers, musicians, and filmmakers, using light as the common language between disciplines. Whether it’s a long-exposure portrait with a single performer or a complex installation involving volumetric capture, each project is rooted in curiosity and human connection.

Many of these studio sessions have grown into international exhibitions, brand experiences, and educational projects that bridge the gap between artistic expression and technical innovation.

Technology and Craft

All of the tools used in the studio, from the light-painting tubes and blades to the custom camera control software (Xangle Control Server) are designed and built by our team. This combination of artistic intuition and engineering expertise allows for complete creative freedom.
Every element of the process, from the hardware to the lighting design, has been developed to support a singular goal: creating images that feel timeless, immersive, and real.

A Space for Experimentation and Discovery

Ultimately, my studio work is about exploration, testing new ideas, refining visual languages, and pushing the boundaries of what light can express. It’s a space where art and science coexist, where every project begins with a question rather than a plan.
Some experiments lead to exhibitions or films; others remain private moments of discovery. All of them contribute to a growing archive of light and movement: an ongoing investigation into the connection between the human body and the energy that surrounds it.
