AMANDA ANNAND

Amanda is a Canadian-born documentary photographer. Having grown up in a town of less than 200 people in northern Alberta, she's comfortable in small and unusual places. Her documentary work focuses on themes relating to culture and connection to place. She has also worked for Indigenous groups, government, and industry within the context of resource development and communities. 

Photography has been a lifelong passion for Amanda, but it wasn’t until she started her Masters in Intercultural and International Relations that she began to cultivate her use of documentary photography. In 2018, she was named one of the 100 Top Emerging Photographers in the FlashForward competition by the Magenta Foundation. She has since been published in The Narwhal, Up Here Magazine, and National Geographic. She currently resides in Yellowknife, NWT, where she hopes to add more regional diversity to Canadian documentary voice. She is also producer and co-founder of the Yellowknife-based Far North Photo Festival.
