Description
Derrière chaque photo se cache une histoire… Jean-Marc Carisse nous la raconte avec brio. Le photographe et auteur primé a capturé plus de cinq décennies d’événements et de personnes qui ont façonné la culture canadienne et captivé l’attention du monde entier.
Carisse a photographié des dirigeants nationaux et internationaux, des membres de la famille royale, des artistes, des icônes, des héros et des personnalités de renommée mondiale ; il nous emmène dans les coulisses pour rencontrer, à travers son œuvre, des célébrités telles que Paul Anka, Charles Aznavour, David Bowie, Fidel Castro, Leonard Cohen, Céline Dion, Bob Dylan, Wayne Gretzky, Yousef Karsh, Mario Lemieux, Nelson Mandela, Paul McCartney, Rudolf Nureyev, la reine Élisabeth II, Frank Sinatra, les Rolling Stones et Mère Teresa.
Comme le dit si bien Jean Chrétien dans son avant-propos, « les mots de Jean-Marc ajoutent de la couleur et plongent le lecteur dans le contexte de chaque photo et dans la vision du moment où il a appuyé sur le bouton de l’obturateur pour immortaliser cet instant historique ».
About the authors
Jean-Marc Carisse's profile page
In 1963, at the age of twenty nine, The Rt. Hon. JEAN CHRETIEN was first elected to Parliament. Four years later he was given his first Cabinet post and, over the next thirty years, he headed nine key ministries. Jean Chretien served as Canada's twentieth prime minister from 1993 to 2003.
Beverley McLachlin was the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada from 2000 to 2017. She is the first woman to hold that position and the longest-serving Chief Justice in Canadian history. Born in rural Pincher Creek, Alberta, McLachlin studied philosophy and law at the University of Alberta before being called to the bar in 1969. After teaching at the University of British Columbia, she was appointed a judge in 1981. Throughout her prestigious career, she has served on many courts, including the County Court of Vancouver, the Supreme Court of British Columbia, the British Columbia Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court of Canada. In 2019, McLachlin became a Companion of the Order of Canada, the highest honour within the Order. Her first novel, Full Disclosure, was an instant national bestseller.
Excerpt: Canada's Photographer l Photographe du Canada: On the World Stage l Sur la scène mondiale (by (author) Jean-Marc Carisse; introduction by Jean Chretien, Beverley McLachlin & Paul Anka)
As an official photographer, I was witnessing and capturing history upfront, whether in a backroom hearing private discussions or in a dining room having a meal with the likes of Arafat in his compound, or at a table next to President Clinton with his chief photographer Robert McNeely. Situations were unpredictable and there were times when I had to wait without a meal. It was unpredictable. It was a career where I was on call 24/7.
