Canadian photographer Martine Michaud, also known as Mishô, experiments with opacity, abstraction, and image layering to explore concepts of visibility and transparency in her work. Within her oeuvre are reportage, street photography, portraiture, and abstract photocomposites. Within her portraiture, she allows herself to be captivated by the subject before her, ably capturing their character, personality, and emotions in the moment. She is known for her expert use of light and shadow, aesthetic dynamic, line and shape, and perspective. She challenges her viewers to gain a new understanding of what is presented to them, and to dive deeper into the subject matter.
Michaud has published two books on photography, Bhutan, Lotus et Dragon (2014), and Heritieres de Bouddha (2017). The artist has won impressive awards for her work in her artistic career, and exhibited her work in group and solo exhibitions in major cities around the world.

Portraits, street, and abstract photography capture my artistic intention.
I often cross lines between photography, compositional and abstract design, creating images from which the arising “space” exposes what otherwise is invisible at first sight. Experimenting with photo layering produces a creative tension, somewhat destabilizing, and propels all observers to individually find their own meaning. In our world of colors, I am attracted to black and white photogrphy because it directs our focus to the fundamentals : light, shapes and composition.
For portraits, I am drawn to faces with striking features and penetrating gazes. While shooting portraits or scenes of daily life, I carefully frame my images to generate emotional connections allowing the viewer to imagine stories that can be unforeseen, enigmatic, disturbing, or appealing. I am dedicated to bearing witness to the beauty and the challenges of our world.
