Photo Essay: The Colors of Montreal
By: Thorsten Overgaard. October 27, 2025.
Color photography has become so much a commodity because all of our screens, magazines, and newspapers are in color. It used to be all black and white, but then the "Kodachrome Moment" made it possible for us to photograph everything in color

Maybe it is time to revisit color? My Canadian workshop in Montreal offered a chance to admire the beautiful colors of the city, the colors of autumn, combined with great light.
This year offered three sold-out workshops in Canada, and I will be doing the workshops in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver again in 2026 - and I am offering special prices to make it possible for everybody to participate and thus support the creativity of Canada.
