November 2, 2022

For over 30 years, Services Paysagers Dominique Filion has been shaping outdoor spaces where nature and expertise merge seamlessly. More than just landscaping, each project is a testament to passion, precision, and an unwavering commitment to quality. When they approached us, the goal was clear: to translate these values into a compelling visual narrative that not only documented their achievements but also supported their long-term growth and recognition.

Understanding the Project

Beyond simply capturing finished landscapes, our mission was to accompany the company in its broader visual content strategy—creating a body of work that serves multiple purposes. These images would not only immortalize their most stunning projects but also elevate their brand presence by providing high-end visuals for use in design competitions, marketing materials, and industry recognition efforts. Each image had to reflect the company’s dedication to excellence, ensuring that the scale, craftsmanship, and artistry behind every project were fully represented. From conceptual sketches to the final execution, our photography showcases the depth of expertise that defines Dominique Filion’s signature landscapes.

Creative Approach and Execution

The challenge of this project lay in striking the perfect balance between documentary-style authenticity and artistic storytelling. Each landscape tells its own story, shaped by natural elements, architectural considerations, and the vision of the client. Our approach was built around three key aspects:

1. Precision and detail – Every material, texture, and structural element plays a role in the final composition. Our goal was to highlight the craftsmanship involved, from stonework to carefully curated plant selections.

2. Scale and impact – Landscaping is more than just aesthetics; it’s about transforming spaces. Wide-angle shots and aerial perspectives allowed us to capture the grandeur and flow of each project, showcasing how the environment and design interact.

3. Mood and atmosphere – Natural light plays a crucial role in landscape photography. Shooting at different times of day allowed us to create a dynamic range of visuals, from the warmth of golden-hour reflections on a poolside terrace to the dramatic textures revealed by early morning light.

Overcoming Challenges

Unlike controlled indoor environments, outdoor photography comes with its own set of challenges. The unpredictability of weather, changing natural light, and the complexity of capturing vast outdoor spaces required a flexible and adaptive approach.

Another key factor was ensuring that the images were not just visually striking but also aligned with the company’s strategic objectives. The photographs needed to serve as compelling submissions for industry awards, elevating the company’s reputation among top-tier landscaping firms. This meant capturing not just the beauty of the landscapes but also the precision of execution and the seamless integration of nature and design.

Final Delivery & Impact

The resulting series of images goes beyond traditional landscaping photography. Each photograph is designed to not only showcase the artistry of the projects but also to reinforce Dominique Filion’s position as a leader in the industry.

By providing a strategic visual library, we equipped the company with high-end content that extends far beyond a single campaign—images that support marketing, awards, and long-term brand storytelling. Through this collaboration, we did more than document outdoor spaces; we helped craft a visual identity that reflects the company’s values and its legacy of excellence.
