RESPECT, a spectacular photographic odyssey celebrating Canada's boreal forest
Respect Photographers
Boreal Communications has brought together many creative minds to nurture Respect from conception to completion. Nine Canadian photojournalists have contributed to Respect thus far. They were selected not only because they are among the best, but because of their dedication and skill in telling poignant stories through imagery. The photos of Allen McInnis, Kazuyoshi Ehara, Jim Ross, John Woods, Todd Korol, Dan Riedlhuber, Jeff Basset, Andy Clark and Chris Young convey the essence of the boreal forest and the meaning of the journey.

Boreal Communications
Images tell stories that might otherwise not be heard. Nowadays, we like snapping pictures to capture our very own. We use our cameras to record life’s moments, both momentous and mundane. We cherish these photos because they allow us to recreate our personal experiences. We also seek out other types of photos, ones that evoke emotions, questions and answers. For photography to elicit this collective human experience we need professionals. In 2006, Boreal Communications started a new project called RESPECT, a journey across Canada flying over the boreal forest.
