“My people will sleep for one hundred years, but when they awake, it will be the artists who give them their spirit back.”

Tansi!
I grew up primarily in Edmonton, Alberta. I come from Treaty 8, calling Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation home as well as calling Ahtahkakoop First Nation home as my mother is from there.
While I have a wide range of interests, my favourite way to create and connect with people is through photography.
There is nothing I love more than people and capturing their milestone moments. I have been shooting since 2016, since then I have shot a multitude of different projects! I currently specialize in commercial portraits, weddings, and all things indigenous!
I am a creative that values all things indigenous. I am passionate about storytelling, building authentic connections, and embracing vulnerability. My dream is to be able to support young people through my lens of visual creativity, all while building a strong indigenous creative community.
I am so excited to be apart of your journey! thank you for allowing me to capture your life’s most precious moments.
Your friend,
– Tristan Talalee
