Ben’s childhood was spent on Canadian Air Force bases in Germany and Canada. As a hyperactive kid and a military brat with a short attention span he used to enjoy opening the back cover of his camera to let the sun kiss the exposed light sensitive film. He would wonder why all those pictures he took had a weird red color cast when he got the photos from the lab. The world of images, as well as moving images (film and TV) captivated his hyperactive mind. His eyes would soak in contrasts and saturations of the dancing images that moved before him (that and UFO Robot Grandizer). His mind would then explode in possibilities, and spark his creative juices to create art. He even brought those posibilities to school, and his imagination would roam for hours, to the dismay of his mother and father.
Benoit was a pleasure to work with. He is very easy-going and listens in order to attain his clients expectations and offer even more. I would definitely work with him again.” May 4, 2010
Moving on, he became interested in Archeology, Oceanography and Marine Biology, he would later find out — to his shock — that he did not have a single scientific bone in his body. He figured out later that it wasn’t the science that interested him, but the National Geographic and Geo magazines covered with gorgeous photography. Later fashion would become an acquired taste as he explored the worlds of beauty in the style of Vogue Paris, Harper’s Bazaar, W Magazine, V Magazine, Rolling Stone, Sports Illustrated (the women were beautiful – and still are) and Photo Magazine.
I’ve always been pleased by Ben’s work at the ALDO Group. He respects directives, knows his business and knows how to get results. His patience and ability to bounce off with new ideas makes it great to work with him.” October 31, 2011
Moving to Montreal, Ben began his career in photography. He earned his experience working for a local music magazine where he became staff photographer and later would become photo director. His fashion, runway and concert work has been published for web and print magazines such as Fashion Ledge, Just Luxe, Buzz Jeans Blog, Madmoiselle B, Le Magazine Influence and Flare Magazine. His fashion experience has given him the opportunity of working for Aqua Di Lara, Qiss Qiss, Bertigo, Kamkyl, Swimwear World, Buzz Jeans and The Volts.
I hired Benoit Lamothe to set-up our e-commerce image processing system and to provide recommendations on both visual concept and logistics for the system. He is extremely efficient, organized and provides valuable insights on different ways to achieve our visual needs. He is also very easy to work with and understands how to be a team player. I would recommend anytime to an e-commerce site that is looking to create great imagery on a continual basis.” July 24, 2011
Today, Benoit has successfully merged and reconciled the right side of his brain with it’s left side. He is a fashion photographer and moving forward, offers e-commerce consultation specializing in research and wwwelopment. Through one of his partners, E-comstudio, he helped build and elaborate on photography workflows, studio setups and quality control for their e-commerce initiatives. Through that same partner he has worked with top tier companies such as the Aldo Group (Aldo Shoes, Call it Spring, Local, Little Burgundy and Globo), La Maison Simons, Jacob, Buffalo Jeans, m0851 and La Canadienne. His ability to adapt complex structure to small operations is a valued asset to his clients. He also enjoys the pursuit of the study of e-commerce… for some they might call it E-commology.
“Ben has been an invaluable part of my team. His insight and critical thinking has been instrumental in the evolution of our company and the ongoing satisfaction of our clients. I couldn’t ask for a better wing-man.” September 28, 2011
I have worked with E-comstudio on numerous high-end fashion companies such as The Aldo Group (Aldo shoes, Call it Spring, Local, Little Burgundy and Globo), La Maison Simons, Jacob, Buffalo Jeans, m0851 and La Canadienne.

Full Disclosure: Outside of event photography, I indulge in my summer sport which is wedding photography.

The Volts is a high-fashion and luxury lifestyle retailer that works on an invitation-only basis to provide its private members with exclusive deals on high-quality clothing, jewelry and accessories from cutting-edge brands.

I also work as a visual content manager and also produce their catalog photography. They are an amazing team to work with! E-mail me if you want to be a member.
Buzz Jeans began as a small designer denim boutique in Montreal’s trendy Mile End neighborhood and now boasts two busy locations in the city and an ever-growing online store, selling the latest and greatest styles in casual fashion. The owner of Buzz Jeans, the legendary George Krausz — a denim enthusiast — hired me as a consultant to elaborate workflow for their in-house photography staff. I’m always involved on the level of imparting guidance and skill where ever related for their website.
