Jesse Winter is an award-winning photographer and writer currently based in Vancouver. He has reported from north of the Arctic Circle to the mangrove forests of Nigeria's Niger Delta. His recent work focuses primarily on social justice, the environment and government accountability stories. Prior to joining The Globe and Mail, his work appeared in The Guardian, The New York Times, The Toronto Star, Maclean's and elsewhere.

In a past life, Jesse represented Canada on the international stage as a competitive Nordic ski racer, competing at the 2008 Under 23 World Championships.

As a journalist, Jesse brings the same commitment and drive to telling stories. He is most at home on the road armed with his camera, note pad and a few gallons of coffee."

Why did you become a journalist?

It sounds cliched but I wanted a career in a creative field that I felt put some good out into the world. I wanted to do something that *mattered*. I also wanted to have better stories than my parents. I think I succeeded in the former, not so sure about the latter.
