Ice Huts

For Toronto photographer Richard Johnson, large format digital photography is his way of documenting the structures that shape our cultures and communities while preserving these places in a rapidly shifting world.

Ice Huts is a typology study with over one thousand photographs documenting the temporary ice fishing huts and villages that populate many Canadian waterways during the winter. In tightly cropped compositions, Johnson fixes his lens on formal and material qualities of the architecture and examines its relationship to site, revealing the creativity and humour with which builders approach hut design.
