Jean
A devoted photographer, Jean took over Place Victoria Cameras in 1981 before founding Camtec Photo on Notre-Dame Street in 1988, uniting a specialized boutique and professional lab under one roof. Over the decades, he has made Camtec a landmark of the Quebec and Canadian photographic community, championing photography as an art form through initiatives like the M Vision workshops. A beloved figure on the local scene, he is synonymous with Leica in this country and remains very much at the heart of the shop.

An amateur photographer since the age of five, he is equally at home with film and digital, and follows the technical evolution of the medium closely. Curious and patient, he'll guide you through your projects, whether in digital or film photography, video, or printing.

Attentive and patient, he takes the time to understand what you need and to guide you toward the gear that suits you best.
