About Jesse
Jesse Winter is an award-winning photographer and writer currently based in Vancouver, British Columbia. He has reported from north of the Arctic Circle to the mangrove forests of Nigeria's Niger Delta. His recent work focuses primarily on social justice, the environment and government accountability stories. His work has appeared in The Guardian, The Toronto Star, The National Post, The Ottawa Citizen, The Winnipeg Free Press, The Yukon News, Up Here Magazine and numerous other publications.
