INGRID FORSTER

About

Ingrid is a visual storyteller and lens-based artist who works in both analog and digital formats. She currently resides in St.Catharines, Ontario, but calls Lunenburg, Nova Scotia her second home and is happiest when she can see and smell the Atlantic Ocean. 

Having grown up with a close connection to nature through her Finnish heritage, much of Ingrid's personal photography practice considers her relationship to the natural environment. 

Ingrid is currently accepting assignments for editorial, conservation, and documentary photography work. She also offers art and exhibition documentation services for artists and galleries, and digitization services, photo archiving, and training for cultural heritage organizations. 

Ingrid also leads photography workshops which, when available, can be found here.
