Winnipeg-born, Toronto-based photographer Alyssa Bistonath’s fascination with images, narrative, poetry and pursuit of social justice are the guiding force behind her body of work. Since completing her BFA in New Media at Ryerson University, Alyssa has been recognized as an emerging talent in the fine art arena while her extensive travels have led to some of her most extraordinary editorial work: she has travelled to India, Ethiopia, South Africa, Mali, Brazil, Mexico, Honduras and El Salvador with World Vision. To date, Antarctica is the only continent she’s never set foot on.
