Whitney Light
Winnipeg, MB, Canada
Hello! Thanks for stopping by. I'm a photographer in Winnipeg, Canada. I studied journalism at Columbia University (MSc 2013) and history at McGill University (MA 2010), and I also participated in the 65th Missouri Photojournalism Workshop in Trenton, Mo. I've shot on assignment for The Globe and Mail/ROB Magazine and Maclean's, and I have experience researching, reporting, and editing for various media, including a year as an editor at The Myanmar Times. Currently my personal work focuses on local environmental issues, particularly around the use/abuse of Lake Winnipeg and its watershed.
