Steven Perreault – 1975 -
With over 10 years of experience in concert, portrait and studio photography, Steven Perreault has brought the wisdom of tumultuous times to the surface; translating his thoughts, passions, pains, fears and joys into emotionally rich images.
Gripping a love for film photography and the warm aesthetic it invokes, his work has progressed to include digital photography and its current embrace on popular art, perpetually improving his ability to adapt to an ever changing society. Having been front row and center to the wiles of art, drugs, booze and rock ‘n’ roll, the Sherbrooke born shutter bug has traipsed through the music industry wearing many hats and being stamped with various titles. After spending the bulk of his thus far colorful life in the grip of Montreal’s siren call, the scent of the city sits on his skin and stains his photos, bringing a true light and conscious passion to his work. Armed with the cold steel of a camera, the worlds of music and culture have fallen subject to his all seeing lens, bringing him closer to completing an already check mark tinted list of goals. With the inception of cornershopstudios.com officially taking place in March 2008, Steven’s growing undulation within the music and photography community has been certain and constant. Society is overflowing with a variety of people each with their own manifesto, however only a handful display themselves as plainly as the man who says, “This is who I am, if you don’t like it, go f@#k yourself”. Reality, although sometimes painful and absolute, must exist in its purest form to acknowledge the soul of a vision. Take a moment to see it through his eyes… Steven Perreault is cornershopstudios.
Lit Hardway – 1981 -
I’ve…
Screamed
Cried
Drummed
Worked
and
Played
Now… I also write
… always music… always the hardway
Canyon – 1980 -
Fuelled by the 1991 stylings of Nirvana’s Nevermind and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Blood Sugar Sex Magik, an 11-year-old Canyon traded childhood thoughts for a sharper look at the world of rock. Her induction into the hall of music lovers continued with Weezer, Radiohead, Foo Fighters and Beck, and by the ripe old age of 13, her thirst for the almighty power chord gained a perpetual head of steam as her young eyes feasted on Montreal’s 1994 Lollapalooza with burning content. Over the years her desire to share her audio passion and provide the public with golden keys to the elusive land of new music, has lead her to a role as the supporting backbone of cornershopstudios. Inspired by founder Steven Perreault’s vision, her enthusiasm for fresh music is articulated weekly as the voice of FROM THE CORNER comes…, while helming the role of Administrative Coordinator, and ensuring that cornershopstudios’ continues to see the trees from the forest. You have hope? We have Canyon.
