A Day in the Life of a Quebec Fire Crew \u00a9 Charles-Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rick Ouellet, pour The Globe and Mail, CALQ<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For the first time in 25 years, a Quebecer stands out among the winners: documentary photographer Charles-Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rick Ouellet is among the winners in the North and Central America region, in the Single Image category, for his photograph taken during the forest fires that ravaged several areas of Quebec in the summer of 2023. In this black-and-white photo, auxiliary combatant Th\u00e9o Dagnaud scans the horizon at the very end of a patrol, to make sure there’s no smoke visible on the horizon. The images in this series were produced with the support of the Conseil des Arts et Lettres du Qu\u00e9bec and The Globe and Mail.<\/span><\/p>\n

Charles-Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rick Ouellet thus becomes the second Quebec winner of an award from the prestigious international photography competition, 25 years after Roger Lemoyne, who made the list in 1999. Charles-Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rick Ouellet’s photo will be on display at the World Press Photo Montreal exhibition at Bonsecours Market from August 28 to October 14, as well as in all the cities the exhibition visits around the world throughout 2024.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis image is a silent moment, far away from the world of humans. It stands more as a moment where you realize that you are part of the ecosystem, not above it\u2019\u2019, says Charles-Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rick Ouellet.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The entire World Press Photo Montreal exhibition\u2019s team congratulates Charles-Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rick on this prestigious award, which is as exceptional as it is well-deserved. His sublime and sensitive photo will stimulate reflection and introspection, in addition to informing and touching more than four million visitors worldwide”, says Yann Fortier, General Manager of the Montreal event.<\/span><\/p>\n
