I am delighted to share that my most recent personal project from the Canadian Arctic is featured today on National Geographic. I am beyond grateful to all the people in the community of Arctic Bay, Nunavut, who welcomed me into their lives during my time there, and also to all of my supporters, sponsors, friends and editors who helped make this dream a reality. Stay tuned for some of the same images in the September print issue!
