A camera operator and director of photography, Jean-Pierre St-Louis is also one of the co-founders of Coop Vidéo in Montreal. He began his career with Robert Morin and Lorraine Dufour, and remains true to his first loves. Indeed, Morin gave St-Louis his first experience behind the camera as director of photography for the feature Tristesse modèle réduit (1987). Then came Requiem pour un beau sans-cœur (1992), Windigo (1994), Quiconque meurt, meurt à douleur (Whoever Dies, Dies in Pain) (1998), Opération Cobra (2001) and Le Nèg' (2002). At the same time, he has worked on many documentary and fiction films, both features and shorts. In 1998 he was director of photography on Isabelle Hayeur's film Les siamoises.
