A walk in the woods
The sensuous photography of Yanick Déry
Over the past fifteen years, Montreal fashion photographer Yanick Déry’s reputation for injecting a special
sense of passion and style into his images has taken him
on photo shoots from New York to Miami, from Paris
to Mexico City, working for high profile names such as
Cover Girl, Donna Karan, Parasuco, Dex, Point Zero,
Simon Chang, Marie Saint-Pierre and Aqualara.
Graduating in photography from the Collège
d’Etudes Générales et Professionelles du VieuxMontréal in 1993, Déry began his career at the age of
eighteen as a press photographer for a local newspaper,
while in his spare time he shot local models. Eventually,
however, this part-time pastime turned into a full-time
preoccupation. An innovator in digital imaging, Déry was
one of the first to adopt new technologies for professional
photography, and all his photography is shot with high
resolution digital equipment. These days his camera of
choice is the Canon 1DS Mark II, in combination with
a Profoto flash system. Déry says that he likes his digital
camera not just because it delivers pictures that look as
good or better than traditional film, but also because it
allows him to increase the number of images he takes in
a day.
Déry has enjoyed working with a multitude of
celebrities including Pascale Bussières, Geneviève
Borne, Maria Bello, Les Respectables, Virginie Coossa
and Antoine Bertrand Jonas, and his work has graced
the pages of such prestigious publications as Vital, Max,
German Amica, Ocean Drive, The National Post, Clin
d’Oeil, Mariage Québec, Instinct, Razor, and Overture.
On these pages, an imaginary story of a beautiful
girl’s heartbreak comes to life in a selection of Déry’s
engaging photographic images.
Alone once again, the scarlet forest rustling
with memories of where they had been,
and whispers of where she was going…
through the beckoning rubicund forest,
following a path that winds its way
toward a destination unknown,
steps guided by
the cool breeze
and branches pointing the way…
the rhythmic ragged crunch
of sanguine autumn leaves
beneath her shiny black shoes
marking the passage
of another chapter,
and the search for symbolic closure…
arriving finally at the familiar firepit
where so recently they embraced
in the shadows of the crimson foliage;
and here, the diary of their affair
being consumed by the ruby flames,
as she watches sadly, in solitude… •
