by Photographer Ian Coristine

One of the Thousand Islands greatest boosters is world renowned photographer Ian Coristine, whose five books on the region have become Canadian best sellers. For three seasons of every year, Coristine lives on and creates beautiful images from his own private island on the St. Lawrence. His stunning, sometimes moody, always revealing images of this breathtaking waterway have drawn much attention to the area.

The majority of his images utilize the unique vantage point offered by his own floatplane, taking us aloft to see natural landscape and heritage architecture like we have never seen before. Eye popping sunsets, moody, misty mornings, the quiet passing of ships, sprawling estates and natural, lush beauty - Coristine tells a visual tale of the Thousand Islands that will leave you wanting more. 

Now Coristine has made his connection to the Thousand Islands a year round joy with the purchase of his own Cottage-inium™ at Tall Ships Landing. From his permanent and lofty vantage point, he will continue to capture the beauty and moods of his beloved Thousand Islands.
