Montreal, September 8, 2017
Fibrobec announced a special collaboration with renowned photographer and author Mathieu Dupuis. The SpaceKap Diablo traveled by his side across Canada in the months that followed. In 2017, Mathieu signed a contract as photographer and author for National Geographic, and was preparing a book about his native province, Quebec, published in 2018 in association with Tourisme Québec. A film documenting his “way of life,” working and living on the road, followed shortly after the book’s release.
Key Takeaways
- National Geographic photographer Mathieu Dupuis chose the SpaceKap Diablo as his base camp for a cross-Canada photography project.
- He needed a unit transferable between trucks and durable enough for back-country trails and any weather condition.
- The project supported a 2018 book on Quebec published with Tourisme Québec, followed by a documentary film.
Why did a National Geographic photographer choose the Diablo?
Mathieu needed a reliable product, one that allowed transferability from one truck to another and would follow him everywhere he traveled, whether in the back country, on rough trails, or in any weather condition. “I discovered the SpaceKap products and was stunned to realize all the potential when combined with a pick-up truck,” explained Mathieu Dupuis.
What made the Diablo work as a mobile base camp?
The SpaceKap Diablo was the perfect fit for Mathieu’s needs as a base camp, with remarkable cargo headroom that securely fit all of his equipment and gave him the space he needed. Perfectly adaptable to his requirements, durable and versatile, the SpaceKap Diablo was an obvious choice for a “van life” photographer facing constantly changing conditions on the road, the same qualities that still make the Diablo a go-to choice for tradespeople today.
SpaceKap was proud to be part of his journey. His travels in the SpaceKap Diablo can still be followed on Facebook, Instagram, and his website.
