Who we are
Who We Are
BlackPine Studio is a photography and motion studio built around people, place, and purpose.
Founded by Maxime Lemieux, the studio grew out of a non-linear path — from science and healthcare to visual storytelling — and was shaped in large part by time spent working in northern and remote communities. Those experiences taught a simple truth: the most meaningful work happens when people feel seen, respected, and understood.
BlackPine Studio exists to tell those stories with care. Whether photographing professionals, teams, or work happening on the ground, the approach is calm, intentional, and human. The goal is not to follow trends, but to create images and films that feel honest, grounded, and lasting.
Our Philosophy
Every project starts with listening.
We take the time to understand who you are, what you do, and how you want to be represented. From there, we build visuals that feel natural, professional, and true to your environment — whether that’s a boardroom, a workshop, or the field.
The work is guided, collaborative, and respectful of your time. Sessions are structured but relaxed, allowing people to show up as themselves while still producing refined, high-quality results.
Every project is thoughtfully planned and executed, because we believe great imagery comes from understanding people first.
