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.
