My name is Sylvain Deshaies, but you can call me "Sly". I was born and I grew up in Montreal, Quebec. I live in the Paris region for almost fifteens years. Historically, the image is part of my life. In fact, I went through all areas of the image. I studied illustration and graphic design. I rolled my hump for almost 20 years in newspapers and magazines as an advertising designer, graphic artist-designer, retoucher, assistant director of artistic production. I have my professional certification for Apple Aperture (RIP) and FinalCut ProX. Today I am an author photographer, member of the SAIF (Society of Authors Visual Arts and Image Sets) and photographer member of the news agency IFNM since 2009. Companies such as Just for Laughs France, Les Editions Gesca (Hockey Magazine), news agency QMI Canada, Le Journal de Montreal, Le Magazine 7 Days, www.canoe.qc.ca, Autonet.ca., have done me confidence. I was also a trainer for over 7 year and as a Creative Pro at Apple and now I work for a Boutique photo in Paris.
