Canada Quebec Saint Georges de Malbaie Weathered Coastal House Morning Moody Black And White Photography | Limited Edition of 10
This photograph shows a weathered wooden house standing alone near the coast in Saint-Georges-de-Malbaie, Quebec. The structure is worn, but not collapsing—aged boards, uneven shingles, and darkened windows holding their ground against the elements. There’s nothing decorative here. No restoration. No romantic gloss. Just a quiet building that has endured long enough to earn its place in the landscape.
The light is soft and diffused, flattening the sky into a pale backdrop that lets the house's textures do the work. Every plank, nail line, and warped edge becomes visible in black and white, giving the image a stripped-down honesty. The absence of colour removes distraction and places all the focus on form, age, and resilience. This is a photograph about presence rather than perfection.
Saint-Georges-de-Malbaie sits along Quebec’s Gaspé coastline, a region shaped by wind, salt air, and time. Homes like this weren’t built to impress; they were built to last. That context matters. This house isn’t abandoned scenery—it’s a marker of rural coastal life, shaped by geography and weather as much as by human hands. The surrounding land feels open and quiet, reinforcing the image's sense of isolation and stillness.
I created this photograph on location, standing in front of the structure and working the scene as it existed in real time. Nothing here is staged or reconstructed. Each print is produced from that original moment, personally signed by me, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity confirming that this is a real photograph, made and printed by the artist.
This piece works exceptionally well as wall art for spaces that favour restraint—rooms where texture, mood, and quiet strength matter more than colour or trend. It’s a photograph that holds attention slowly, revealing more the longer you live with it.
If this sense of rural resilience speaks to you, you may also be drawn to Weathered Shack in Saskatchewan Black And White Prairie Wall Art.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
