Toronto-based photographer Eamon Mac Mahon’s work has appeared in various publications including the Walrus, National Geographic, W and New York Magazine, as well as exhibition spaces such as The Power Plant, The Detroit Institute of the Arts, the Griffin Museum of Photography in Boston and Higher Pictures NYC. Mac Mahon’s photographs, on display for Contact, 2008 at Pearson International Airport, were described as  “magnificent and mysterious” by Kate Taylor for the Globe and Mail.

Eamon Mac Mahon spent time during the spring/summer of 2011 working in the wilderness of northwestern Canada and Alaska.  Through his typical practice of journeying via bush plane, Mac Mahon intimately photographed remote landlocked communities, and the vast areas of uninhabited land surrounding them.
