About

Hi there, I am Jamil

Thank you so much for taking the time for your visit here.

I’m a landscape photographer based in Quebec, Canada.

I was born in Dakar, Senegal, grew up between Senegal, Ivory Coast, and Togo, and moved to Canada at 17.

For 14 years, I worked in IT. Always connected. Always reachable. Nature was the one place that asked nothing from me, except honesty.

Landscape photography didn’t arrive like a lightning strike. It came slowly, through hikes, silence, storms, and the first light on mountains. Camera taught me what the city never could: slow down and observe.

Being outdoors in nature always leaves me with a happy heart and makes me feel more alive than ever. I love pushing myself, seeking out new sights, high mountain tops, and stepping out of my comfort zone.

In 2022, I left everything and lived a nomad life. For nearly three years, I lived in a van, guided by light, weather, and curiosity more than schedules. I spent 14 months exploring New Zealand, then 14 months in the French Alps and the Dolomites.

I love to photograph atmosphere, emotion, and presence.

Not perfection. Not speed. Not algorithms.

Because much of my time is spent far from help, I completed a training and earned my Wilderness First Responder certification in 2021. It shaped how I move in the mountains: calm, prepared, and respectful of risk.

With a never-ending list of countries, I still want to explore. I can’t stop to capture landscapes as it has never been seen before. To seek out hidden gems, the road less travelled, and share it all with you.
