Michel is a Toronto Lighting Cameraman / Director of Photography / Advanced licensed Drone operator. His late father Jean Bisson started him off shooting at the young age of sixteen. Michel landed a contract with CBC Sports at nineteen in Montreal then with CBC French in Toronto. Wanting to grow more in the industry he went freelance and never looked back.
Being bilingual in English and French, Michel has shot all over the world, shooting everything from Toyota cars in Japan studios to Churchill Manitoba Hudson Bay snorkeling with beluga whales.
Michel has been shooting for over thirty years and has worked with just about every major network in North America plus working on countless corporate, commercials, documentaries, and sports. Michel also DP’s Movies and Indie movies.
Starting with 16mm & 35mm Film cameras with Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) then on to shooting with video cameras, owning several cameras like the Aaton LTR 16mm film to the latest Sony FX9 and FX3 cameras along with the newest LED and RGB lighting systems plus grip, Steadicam with Gimbal, Jib’s, Sliders plus Sound equipment.
Michel is always in tune with the latest technologies. His clients have the confidence that he cannot only shoot and DP, but also operate every piece of equipment he owns.
The long and short of it is that Michel wants the shoot to go as professionally and as smoothly as possible and Michel has a history of always trying to give the best quality possible to his clients.
His Father told him when he started “That you are only as good as your last SHOOT.” Michel has been living by that rule ever since.
So contact him for your next project. He’d love to hear from you.
