“ Pascal
Monmoine has created our corporate group portrait for 3 years now.
His level of attention to detail, his advance planning and thinking
ahead about each shot, not to mention his flexibility and willingness to
deliver exactly what we ask for have caused us to call him back year
after year.
Pascal has a rare gift for making a large group comfortable, which is no
minor feat considering this year we asked him to photograph almost 50
people in one shot !
He pours his artistic ability and his scientific expertise into each of
his photos and consistently delivers.”
Joel Storey - Director of Creative Services / Delphi Healthcare

“ To refer
to this man as a photographer is to woefully understate his talents. He
becomes one with his subject and not only captures the visual but the
true essence of the person and the situation.
After you have experienced the joy and beauty of being transformed in
this manner, you will never settle for mere photography again. “
Evia Jordan – Attorney at Law
" I first
saw Pascal's work at a fundraiser for the Women's Center in Chapel Hill
(note: Pascal Monmoine was hired by the board of that fundraiser to
shoot portraits for the media of 4 artists who were honored at that
event)
and was very impressed by his composition and the originality of
his work.
When I was given the opportunity to have him do my
re-election campaign photographs, I couldn't turn it down.
I am someone
who has never liked to have my picture taken, even when I was a child.
Pascal made what I expected to be an ordeal actually fun.
The pictures from that session are without question the best pictures of
me that have ever been taken.
I have found the only photographer that I will ever need. "

Pascal ,
You are by far one of the most brilliant people I have ever met.

Pascal’s photos were really fantastic for use in our magazine.
He captured the bond between the two subjects in a number of beautiful
settings and poses.
Pascal went above and beyond in providing outdoor photography as well as
studio shots. He was very accommodating in meeting our needs
and schedule. "

It
is a pleasure for me to have the opportunity to express my gratitude to
Pascal for what he has done for my company from "the other side of
lens".
Over the past
few months, Pascal has taken photos of my Café/Restaurant, the people
in it, the structure and the food, that not only capture the 'sights' as
one would simple see them at first glance but he was able to capture the
essence of what our Café/Restaurant stands for.
His images
portray the spirit and meaning of the place as I had envisioned it.
Pascal
succeeded in freezing in time images and moments any restaurateur could
only hope for. He managed to capture the happiness that is brought
to people through our Restaurant.
Pascal's
images of our dishes and desserts are vibrant, alive and magic.
He has
captured customers from toddlers to grandparents in moments of joyful
bliss as they indulge in one of our pastry creations or enjoy the
company of each other.
Pascal's
photos are simply magical and reach so far beyond simple visual images
of a place and people. His photos are moments in time where as the
onlooker you get the sense that you could step right into them and hear
the laughs and smell the scents.
I will always
be deeply grateful for the gift he has given me with his photography
that documents such an important part of my life and soul. "

Synchronizing the schedules of 10 employees and then getting everyone
organized nicely and even smiling?!...
Sounds like an impossible feat, yet one that our photographer, Pascal
Monmoine, accomplished with ease.
His charming personality and meticulous attention to detail combined to
create beautiful photographs that our office is proud to display.
Pascal’s
professional attitude, patience, and dedication are all qualities that
my staff and I appreciated throughout our photo shoot.
He made us feel immediately comfortable and at home, a comfort
which was evident in the quality of the photographs that he took.
I
have been very impressed with my interactions with Pascal, and extremely
happy with the work that he has done for my business.

" We had
an impossible photography task in an even more impossible time crunch
(individual and group shots for seven band members in different
situations, all between the hours of 7pm and 8:30pm), and Pascal not
only came through for us, but he did so with creativity, style, and a
wonderfully focused and relaxed approach which put us all at ease.
The best part was getting the actual photos - we could hardly believe
the quality and consistency of shots which Pascal was able to coax out
of the dying daylight under such difficult circumstances.
It was a wonderful experience and we would, and do, recommend Pascal to
everyone we know. Well, not everyone - just the ones we like... "

I worked in
Los Angeles
in the modeling industry for many years and have worked with some of the
best photographers in the world - that is until I met Pascal Monmoine!
Pascal’s
creativity, energy, enthusiasm, talent and personality make him one of
the easiest photographers to work with.
He
is definitely eager to please and works a mile-a-minute to make sure
that your money is well spent all the while getting some of the most
quality photography one could ever wish for! I don’t know why he
isn’t working in LA,
New York
or
Paris
, but I do know that I am very happy this level of talent is right here
in
North Carolina

“ Recently, I
had the good fortune of working with an extremely talented photographer
-
Pascal Monmoine! Having heard a lot about him already and seeing his
work first hand, I was eager and excited to work with him...
From the very beginning, Pascal was extremely considerate. Unfortunately we'd picked one of the hottest days of the summer to do an
outdoor shoot. But Pascal was ever the gentlemen and was such a treat to
work with. I had never seen a photographer willing to compromise
his comforts for the sake of art...
Pascal is not afraid to step out of the so-called proverbial 'box'! And
he’s also not shy about challenging you as a model to do the same...
Whether the shot required him to climb atop his SUV or lay on his back
on the hot pavement, Pascal was happy to oblige and willing to do
whatever it took to acquire a phenomenal picture.
I can honestly say that working with him was one of the best experiences
of my modeling career and I definitely walked out of the session
learning a lot more about myself.
Thank you Pascal !... “
Sena Negrisor – Model
“ We hired
Pascal Monmoine to assist our firm with taking photos for our website
and marketing materials.
He approached each setting with a unique perspective and delivered a
high-quality product, with lots of options, for every need and did it in
a timely way. He really captured our spirit.
I very much like the pictures in my office and in the conference room.
They are all truly incredible. "

“ As a model,
I am always challenging myself and the photographers I work with to do
something unique, creative, and intriguing to the eye.
As soon as I met Pascal, I knew that my goal would be accomplished. I
instantly connected with him.
Our experience together was definitely new for me - we met at dusk,
drove to a large field, and didn't start to shoot until the sky was
completely black. Even with the enormous task of trying to make
beautiful pictures without natural lighting, Pascal was friendly and
professional. He had me laughing within the first five minutes. We
turned up the music and started shooting.
Pascal did a fantastic job of providing direction when needed, and let
me explore my own ideas too. He was great about communicating with me
before and after the shoot and the pictures I received from our time
together were amazing !!!
I look forward to working with Pascal again very soon. “

Just the thought of the shoot that I did with Pascal Monmoine brings
back a genuine smile to my face...
I
so clearly remember that day. The sky was shadowed with gray, the
wind was whirled, and the torrential downpours came and went as they
pleased. As most people would see this as a gloomy rainy day … Pascal
saw it instead as an inspiring masterpiece. You could see his eyes light
up when he focused on the glistening wet roads...
He
expressed great concern about me thorough the shoot, in regards to the
outdoor temperature and the weather conditions. At all times he
wanted to make sure that I was absolutely comfortable with all our
surroundings. He handed me a umbrella and we went on a
photographic adventure. It was like my best friend was the
photographer...
Pascal
was very professional and exceptionally kind.
Pascal
Monmoine is everything that you could ask for and more... Absolutely the
best ! "

The photographs you took of Christian and me are absolutely breath
taking.
I have never been photographed in a manner that the result looked like a

sometimes agonizing posing required of traditional shoots.
