Introduction – Jessie Brinkman Evans
Tonight we’re delighted to welcome Jessie Brinkman Evans, a documentary and editorial photographer based between Melbourne and St John’s in Canada.

For nearly a decade, she has photographed extensively across the Arctic, particularly Greenland, capturing the quiet beauty and resilience of isolated communities. Her recent exhibition Someday at No Vacancy Gallery in Melbourne focused on life in the small Greenlandic town of Niaqornat and was exhibited alongside legendary photographer Steve McCurry at Leica Gallery Melbourne.
Jessie’s work has been commissioned by clients such as Leica, Condé Nast Traveller, Visit Greenland and Newfoundland & Labrador Tourism, and is recognised for its sensitivity to light and its thoughtful storytelling.
