Last fall I had the chance to shoot for a great series for Maclean’s Magazine. It’s finally out on news stands now and it’s called “Canada 2014: 10 Places You’ve Got to See”.
I was assigned Charlevoix, Quebec.
Here’s the video:
and images from that shoot:
- The dune beaches of Baie St. Paul just as the sun rises. Mountains and rivers are what make up most of the Charlevoix region.
- Dune beaches of Baie St. Paul
- L’Accalmie, the abandoned ship off the St. Lawrence in Baie St. Paul
- The shipwrecked L’Accalmie is a popular attraction in Baie St. Paul.

- These waterfalls are from the Malbaie river closer to town. It’s part of a family run campground. I came back the next morning and the falls were covered in ice.
- Isabelle Mihura is originally from France but fell in love not only a Quebecer but also the Charlevoix region. She owns a farm in St. Urbain in the interior of the Charlevoix. It has it’s own micro climate as it’s surrounded by hills and mountains.
- David Forbes of Les Labours restaurant in Baie St. Paul, stands over his dishes made from locally grown produce.
- Sunset in the Charlevoix region is gorgeous. The road along the river is probably the prettiest part of Quebec I’ve ever been to. This is in Port au Persil at dusk.

- I got to Baie des Rochers just in time for sunset. I literally jumped out of my car and ran to this spot just before the sun set.
- This perfect view of La Malbaie is in a cemetery and on top a hill. I’m usually not afraid of the dark but sitting in a cemetery, alone at night and in 5 degree weather, does make you look over your shoulder once or twice.
