We are proud and honoured to welcome Ariane Desbiens (https://ariann.ca/en/) to the Elinchrom Canada ambassador family.
Ariane is an award-winning cinematic portrait and branding photographer, as well as an accomplished artistic director based near Quebec City. Known for her emotionally driven, visually striking imagery, she specializes in editorial portraiture, boudoir, conceptual photography and branding – bringing a refined and intentional approach to lighting in every frame.
A graduate of Collège Marsan in Montreal, Ariane made a bold transition from a career in communications to pursue photography full time – a decision that continues to shape her creative voice today. Now based in St-Georges, Quebec, her journey across Canada and the people she’s encountered along the way have deeply influenced her storytelling, adding layers of perspective and authenticity to her work.
Her talent and dedication have earned her widespread recognition, including being named Canada’s Commercial Photographer of the Year (Professional Photographers of Canada National, 2023). She has also received multiple national and international honours across categories such as editorial, fashion, beauty and portraiture, solidifying her reputation as one of Canada’s leading image creators.
Beyond her client work, Ariane is passionate about education and community. She offers high-end retouching, conceptual development, private & group training and business coaching for photographers, empowering others to elevate both their craft and their careers.
A proud accredited member of the Professional Photographers of Canada (PPOC), Ariane holds accreditations in Advertising, Fashion, Fantasy Illustration, Portrait and Low-Key Portrait.
Her philosophy is simple yet powerful: to create images that transport, inspire and tell meaningful stories. Whether crafting a cinematic portrait or building a brand narrative, Ariane approaches each project with intention, creativity and heart.
Ariane joins an exceptional group of Elinchrom Canada ambassadors, including Ben Girardi, Phil Sutherland, Leah Denbok, Aaron Aubrey and Trevor Godinho – a collective of artists pushing the boundaries of light and storytelling across the country.
We’re thrilled to have Ariane as part of the family and look forward to seeing the powerful work she will continue to create with Elinchrom.
Welcome to the team, Ariane.
