Brief description: Brant Slomovic (b. 1970) is a Canadian photo essayist based in Toronto, with a background as an emergency medicine physician. His experience as a healthcare provider informs a perspective on the human condition and imbues him with an extreme sense of professional responsibility. These attributes are carried into his role as a storyteller and image maker. He employs long-form documentary projects to examine narratives of cultural identity. Brant views every person through a lens of commonality and connection, and believes that images that explore our humanity can be a source of unification through diversity.
