Bryan Dickie
Photographer
Bryan Dickie is a Canadian-based editorial photographer interested in exploring humanity’s enigmas. Using his camera as a portal into people’s lives, Bryan has used photography as a tool to understand the world around him. In 2010, on a whim, Bryan decided to travel to Myanmar and serendipitously stumbled upon a historical moment that saw Aung San Suu Kyi released from house arrest after fifteen years of sporadic detention. The people’s excitement at their country’s transition resonated with Bryan on an extremely ephemeral level and sparked a relationship with the people of the South Asian Nation. Over the next decade, Bryan would be lucky enough to travel to the far reaches of Myanmar to photograph and interview refugees, child soldiers, warlords and various leaders of the many ethnic armed organizations that are still active throughout Myanmar today.
