Our 40 best of 2014


2014 was a good year for us. We were productive, blessed with work, lucky & healthy ; we learned a lot and progressed in our crafts. We hope that 2014 was just as good to you.


Of all our endeavours, photography remains our single most passionate craft, we think it also is our best art.


>FI3200/ has become much more than photography over time. Although we are still a young company, our accomplishments are numerous and they make us proud. This past year has seen our existing clients remain by our side and we have developed several new products all related to our expertise : content marketing.


Our new FOTOTOURMONTREAL bLOG is one of our favorite new additions of this ended year. It showcases our favorite city, its coolest places and the best photos we make of it. There is nothing more satisfying to us than to capture city life in Montreal. The service this blog spawned from also creates much excitement for us in the new year as we think it will reach new heights : FOTOTOURMONTRÉAL



We like to think that we have become the experts in capturing the essence of every Montreal neighbourhood and the city's most inspiring places. We are architecture, urban scenes, events and people.



We love to share our passion for photography and for our hometown trough this blog and we hope you have enjoyed this new publication and that you will return in the new year. For 2015 we will extrapolate our content a little bit, going deeper in the subject of every neighbourhood.



There is much more to come from us in the new year and we feel that this blog will have even more to offer to its readers as our organisation grows more mature and more passionate still.


For today, we share with you 40 of our best fototour images for the year 2014.



Montreal is a city with a huge heart and no matter what struggle she is in, that heart keeps pounding louder than any other North-American city. It remains one of the worlds most interesting places and we know it will gain much notoriety in the future for the best times for her lay ahead.



Her character, her qualities and her weaknesses all come together on every street corner and in every one of its citizens. Whether you are a born Montrealer, a long time Montrealer or a new Montrealer, you most probably understand this belonging very well. We feel this way and we try to incarnate this essence and spirit that made this city famous in our every day life.



Years and decades pass by and the state of our nation changes greatly, so does the state of our city, for good and for bad. But what remains the same in Montreal is its core and main streets. Saint-Laurent (the Main) Sainte-Catherine, Saint-Denis, Mont-Royal, Ontario, Sherbrooke, Jean-Talon, Parc, Saint-Paul and Notre-Dame streets breathe good years in and out never ever dying despite the predicaments of so many. To the likes of the city itself, these streets and the people who make them live represents what Montreal is all about : an eternal city built by passionate people.



Some things will never change in Montreal. Montrealers know where they are from and know where they are going. It doesn't matter how often we are stopped in our tracks because we are the toughest bunch and the objectives will be reached.



Our contribution to the city, we hope, is what will help us make it that much better. Furthermore, we hope of making an even greater difference in the coming year with the advancement of our 'Le Marché Public Central du Quartier Latin' - a project that was launched with the help of JeVoisMTL this last November. Our bid to transform the old abandoned bus station of the Quartier Latin into the city's next major revival stimulates our senses, grows our thoughts and warms our hearts. We hope you will like this project and contribute to it by giving your official approval so that the City and Quebec finally give attention to this rundown square and give it a chance to shine. You can communicate your approval through our project website (click link above).



Montreal is beautiful and so are you my fellow Montrealers. We wish you the best of new year's for 2015



Health, evolution, prosperity and success



The sun will keep shinning in our cameras and under our writing fingers in the new year and we hope you will join us on this blog to share with us our activities, our projects and our accomplishements. More so, we hope to meet some of you in person through FOTOTOURMONTRÉAL.
