Documentary photographer Charles-Frédérick Ouellet, originally from Chicoutimi, has just won a grant from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ). He gets $10,000 to pursue his projects.
He was chosen Artist of the Year in the Capitale-Nationale, where he lives. Two other artists were finalists alongside him, choreographer Alan Lake and poet Valérie Forgues.
One of Charles-Frédérick Ouellet’s photos, taken during the forest fires in northern Quebec, won him the prestigious World Press Photo prize this year.
His work appealed to the members of the CALQ jury due, in particular, to the powerful atmospheres that emerge from his images.
Some of his photographs and those of his colleague Nicolas Lévesque, from Roberval, are the subject of a temporary exhibition which has just started at the Pulperie de Chicoutimi. It is on display until March.
