Denis Giroux and Michel Tournay\u2019s shared interest in the cold regions of the globe naturally brought them together for this exhibition composed of 20 photographs of the coldest regions of the globe, the Arctic and the Antarctic. The landscapes, wildlife and sky invite the observer to immerse themselves in these wild places that the presence of man is gradually changing.<\/p>\n\n
To the south, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands as well as the Antarctic Peninsula were captured by Denis and, to the north, Quebec, Manitoba, Russia, Norway, Alaska and the North Pole were captured by Michel and reveal some of their splendid attractions. A few large formats reinforce the impression of immensity that the exhibition gives off.<\/p>\n\n
Born in Montreal, Denis Giroux is a pharmacist by training. Since he moved to Cowansville, he has been involved in various local organizations, including business mentoring, the local photography club, the BMP Hospital Foundation and the Bruck Museum. He bought his first camera at the age of 16, but it was after retiring from the pharmacy that he was able to devote himself seriously to his passion for photography. Since 2010, he has participated in some forty photography or multimedia exhibitions, including four solo exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n
Born in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Michel exiled himself in the Great North of Quebec, more precisely in the village of Chisasibi for more than 33 years. A self-taught photographer, he specializes in the northern lights and northern wildlife. Now on his 13th solar eclipse, this phenomenon has taken him to the four corners of the world, even meeting his future wife on Easter Island in 2010. This couple of eclipse chasers even honeymooned in Svalbard, some 800 km from the geographic North Pole! Retired since 2018, he now lives in Sutton. His next project: discovering the wreck of the Eldorado that sank in James Bay in 1904<\/p>\n\n
