Elyse Bouvier is a photographer and artist who resides in Calgary, Alberta, a place known by many other names to the traditional peoples of the area including moh-kíns-tsis by the Blackfoot. Her practice explores identities of communities, especially in rural Alberta, with a particular fascination on how food and/or religion intersects with cultural identities.
In addition to being a sought-after photographer for events, she currently works at the Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning at the University of Calgary as a communications specialist. She holds an MFA (Documentary Media) from Toronto Metropolitan University (2016) and a BComm (Information Design) from Mount Royal University (2010).
She has presented her research and photographs in Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver, and Oxford, UK. Some recent words on the web include a conversation with Kyler Zeleny on Lenscratch; a series of images from Vulcan's Star Trek Convention on Vice; Lily Cho's "Recalibrating Intimacy" on the Royal Cafe series for Imaginations Journal; a feature on Royal Cafe on VICE Munchies by Nick Rose; "Curating My Life: Musings on Instagram and Online Identity" on Medium; and writing about coffee for Sprudge.com.
Occasionally, she also photographs weddings and other events.
