20 year old Quebec City local and brother of well known rider Louif Paradis, photographer Alex Paradis shows us what he’s got, here, in his collection of photographs taken over the last year in the province of Quebec, Canada. Alex says that when he first started snowboarding with his brother and friends, he was pretty sure it was what he would do for the rest of his life, until three seasons ago, after becoming injured, he picked up a camera for the first time and found a new passion to pursue alongside snowboarding. Since then he has been photographing friends and Quebec locals such as Greg Desjardins, LNP, Jason Dubois, Ben Bilocq, Phil Jacques and his brother, Louif Paradis. He says that his friends are always pushing and inspiring him to improve his photography, through which, together, they can inspire others to push the limits as well. Living and growing up in Quebec City has been a blessing to the pursuit of his passions, as the city is now one of the major urban settings that pro snowboarders are flocking to. Alex says that his hope for the future is to continue working with passionate people, to travel and see “what’s good” all over the world, and for sure, to “keep pushing the button.”

seriously though I dont think your photos should be judged on whos in them… this guy does not deserve a spot on TWS at all. Not hating, just seen better photos out of Quebec from peope who dont spend any time at all there… comp is boring, light is standard… wait until the end of this season… photos from out here (from different photogs) will bow you people away…. just wait.

i agree, pluck that unibrow if you wanna get the ladies!
February 6th, 2009 at 8:04 pm

Seriously TW you arent doing us any favors by presuming that Quebec is the end all be all place of serious urban rail riders… your coverage is like the difference between Canadian and American politics, both on the same continent….one is exciting and full of characters , the other flat, non dimensional oversponsored fashion model-cowboys in a bunch of loosely knit non memorable moments …you get to pick which is which, garbage in , garbage in, … then garbage out. Your readers deserve better and I hope you have the literary gonads to publish this humble comment jjf
