Acacia Johnson

Acacia Johnson (born 1990) is an American photographer from Alaska who since 2014 has focused on the polar regions.

She has made over fifty expeditions to Greenland, the Norwegian island of Svalbard, the Canadian Arctic and Antarctica, lecturing on photography and indigenous peoples.

The year she spent there encouraged her to embark on a career as a photographer, thanks to a course on media and communications and the magic light she discovered in the polar circle.

It brought her to Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic where she was able to study the local population in an Inuit village.

She intends to develop her photographic and writing skills in either fiction or in photo books with descriptive essays.
