LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
This is Dena'ina ełnena. I live and work on the homeland of the Dena’ina. For thousands of years the Dena’ina people have cared for the land, water, and animals in this place. Their stewardship, past, present, and future, makes Anchorage the place it is today. I acknowledge the indigenous history embedded beneath my family’s feet, and recognize with deep gratitude the importance of indigenous leadership and sovereignty here and throughout the world.

ABOUT
Joshua Corbett (b. 1981) is a freelance cinematographer, director, and photographer based in Anchorage, Alaska. His personal work focuses on family, culture, and community in the context of the shifting geopolitical and environmental landscapes of the Arctic.
Joshua was born in Alaska to a pair of surf-hippy transplants (pictured below left) from Southern California. He has an MA in International Relations and International Economics from The Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and has lived and worked in the Philippines, Mexico, Italy, United Kingdom, and Afghanistan. He still wears matching snow suits and unrealistically hopes one day to grow a mustache as fearsome as his father's (also pictured). He is currently based in Alaska, where he lives with his wife and daughter, and is available for assignments anywhere.
Joshua was selected is an Eddie Adams Workshop 27 alumni and completed a three year Advanced Mentored Study Program in Documentary Photography under the guidance of Jim Estrin (NYT) and Ed Kashi (VII Photo). He was also honored with a 2016 Rasmuson Foundation project grant that helped fund a project focusing on walrus hunting and the ivory trade on St. Lawrence island.
