Marie-Pier St-Laurent - Professional Photography and Visual Storytelling

Marie-Pier St-Laurent is a creative professional and photographer who specializes in the "art of escaping." Based on her extensive portfolio and the ongoing "ESCAPISM" series, Marie-Pier St-Laurent focuses on capturing sensory-driven imagery across the hospitality, lifestyle, and travel sectors. Her work aims to trigger a specific emotional response in the viewer—a sense of wanderlust and a desire to experience the spaces she documents. Whether photographing the Ace Hotel Kyoto or the Pearl Morissette winery, Marie-Pier St-Laurent emphasizes the romantic and atmospheric details of everyday life, such as golden hour light, unmade beds, and the texture of weathered stone. The professional practice of Marie-Pier St-Laurent is centered on the belief that destinations should offer more than just a place to stay; they should offer stories and memories that linger long after a trip has concluded. Her photography reflects this philosophy by inviting viewers to engage with the senses—tasting the wine or hearing the waves lapping against stone through visual cues. With categories spanning from Editorial work for Atelier Margot to specific Travel projects like Desert Dweller, Marie-Pier St-Laurent demonstrates a versatile ability to document both commercial and artistic narratives. Her aesthetic is defined by a deep appreciation for atmosphere and the subtle nuances that make a location feel unique and inviting to the modern traveler.
