Description
Behind every photo, there is a story… And Jean-Marc Carisse tells the story well. The award-winning photographer and author has captured more than five decades of events and people that have shaped Canadian culture and captivated the world’s attention.
Carisse photographed national and global leaders, royals, entertainers, icons, heroes, and world-renowned personalities; he brings us backstage with him as he encounters and captures celebrities such as 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, Queen Elizabeth II, Frank Sinatra, the Rolling Stones, and Mother Teresa.
As Jean Chrétien so eloquently puts it in his foreword, “Jean-Marc’s own words add additional colour and immerse the reader into many of the photos’ context and insight of the moment when he pushed the shutter button to capture that moment in history.”
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.
