Dustin Patar is a freelance visual journalist who lives and works in Iqaluit, Nunavut.

His photography has been exhibited both in Canada and internationally, and his stories have been published by The Globe and Mail, Canadian Geographic, The Walrus, The Narwhal, and CBC, among others. When he isn’t holding a camera or in front of a computer, he can be found behind a sewing machine, fixing some sort of vehicle, or out on the land.
