Michel is a Toronto Lighting Cameraman / Director of Photography and 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 the age of 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 French and English, Michel has shot all over the world, shooting everything from Toyota cars in Japanese’s studios to In the water with beluga whales in Hudson Bay, Churchill Manitoba.
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, documentary and sports. Michel also DP’s Movies and Indie movies.
Starting off in 16 & 35mm Film with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation then on to video, owning several cameras like the Aaton LTR 16mm film to the latest Sony FX9, Sony FX3 cameras along with the newest lighting, grip plus 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 he can operate every piece of equipment he owns.
The long and short of it is that Michel just 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 out “That you are only as good as your last SHOOT.” Michel has been living by that rule ever since.
