The Far North Photo Festival is a space to elevate the work of visual storytellers in the Circumpolar North.
Our OBJECTIVE
We bring together the photo community in Canada’s North - and the entire Arctic - for a weekend of exhibits, presentations, workshops, portfolio reviews and mentorship.
We provide a platform for Northern photographers to share, seek guidance and showcase their work to the general public, potential clients, industry leaders and noted photographers.
Whether you’re an aspiring photographer, professional or just love great images and the stories behind them, this event is for you.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT FROM OTHER FESTIVALS?
We are a festival that discusses our industry from a uniquely Northern perspective. We address Indigenous issues and Northern representation in media. We examine media ethics in the Circumpolar world. We promote and value Northern stories by Northern artists.
The Far North Photo Festival shines a light on documentary photography and visual storytelling but also supports commercial and emerging photographers across the Arctic.
The Far North Photo Festival is hosted by the not-for-profit The Far North Photo Society. All proceeds from ticket sales, entry fees or any other revenues will be directed to cover current and future expenses for the Festival only.
Thank you for your support!
