About

© Julien Cadena
Photography is a powerful medium—sometimes a mirror of our realities, beliefs, or emotions, and sometimes a window into others and their worlds, creating a bridge and a meeting point.
These commercial or personal photography projects, which I undertake with or without specific guidelines, allow me to express myself and reveal a little of who I am with each one. Through personal exploration, I experiment, reinvent myself, and continue on the path that nourishes my practice.
My passion for photography accompanies every stage of your projects: though each is unique, they all inspire me through their complexity, diversity, and the creativity I place at the heart of my work.

My Studios


ASILE STUDIO
Asile Studio was founded in 2025 out of a shared desire between Annie Fafard, an interior and architectural photographer, and me, a portrait photographer: to create a space that reflects who we are and to share it with those who love light as much as we do. Conceived as a creative haven, every detail of the studio was designed to inspire beauty, warmth, and a welcoming atmosphere. After six months of renovations, lots of painting, countless trips to Rona, and some well-deserved laughter, the dream became a reality.
Today, Asile Studio opens its doors to photographers, videographers, artists, and anyone looking for an inspiring space to create, gather, or celebrate.
Come meet us and discover the studio.
