Éditions du Passage publishes Agence Stock Photo. A history of photojournalism in Quebec, a summary of the history of Quebec over the last 40 years by the greatest Quebec photographers!
In 1987, three young photographers decided to found a photography agency. Like major press agencies such as Reuters or AFP, Robert Fréchette, Jean-François LeBlanc and Martin Roy created an independent and collective structure this had never been seen before in Quebec. For nearly forty years, Stock covered the major events that shaped Quebec society. From the Referendum on Quebec sovereignty to the Maple Spring, including the resistance of Kanehsatà:ke (or Oka crisis) and the Summit of the Americas, this collective of photographers has been able to bring a diversity of perspectives on major social issues, political and cultural which have marked the History of Quebec.
