About

My name is Karl Alexandre Chatel. I live, study and work in Ottawa, Canada. My passion for photography started at 8 years old when I received my first camera 'canon' for Christmas. Since then, my passion became the tipping point: using my lens and my own perspective to communicate beauty, fragility, humanity and the forces of nature. 

I have started the language of images by photographing  citizens of the world in many countries. Giving a voice to marginalized people by discussing about their struggles and dreams, and take photos of them.

My studies in professional photography started in Montréal. I came back in Ottawa amid the pandemic and continued my learning at a college in Ottawa to enhance my focus on details and technical. Years after I've learned that my vision was to focus on portraits, events, weddings, fashion and even photo journalism, making myself a true freelancer. I also fell in love with video, making small short films and  documentaries!
