Léo Sanches

Léo Sanches has always been curious. As a child, one of the things that fascinated him most was his mother's small camera. It was very simple, but to him it represented the possibility of seeing the world through different eyes, like a magical object. Days spent playing with this camera left a lasting impression on him and paved the way for his career.

Léo Sanches arrived in Montreal in 2012 in search of new opportunities. This new life offered him greater freedom to experiment with personal projects. However, his status as an immigrant raised many questions. He found himself transformed, as did his photographic practice, which now carries a more personal message, exploring the experience and wounds of immigration.
