PHOTOGRAPHY

Robert Courtemanche founded the RC Studio in 1947. Shy and quiet by nature, this man was literally transformed whenever he held a camera in his hands. Being among the few people to own a camera, the photographer of those days had to be everywhere, much like a reporter. Thanks to his lenses, he may have met more people then most of Magog's mayors. He acted as a journalist, documenting the tragedies, weddings, christenings, Christmas parties and other events of his times... even funerals. Talented portraitist, he was able to capture a good part of Magog's history. According to Marcel, the composition of the image and the quality of the print, which he did himself, were his strengths. Hundreds of thousands of his negatives were given to the Magog Historical Society, some of which are now also available to you here, in the format of your choice.
