Heather Patterson is an emergency physician and photographer from Calgary. When the pandemic struck, Patterson decided to put her twenty years of photography experience to use and began capturing the intimate moments at Calgary hospitals that went on to become Shadows and Light. Images from the project have been featured in Maclean’s, where they were a finalist for a National Magazine Award, and the Calgary Herald and on CBC, CityNews, Global News, and CTV. Patterson has received the Award for Medical Journalism from the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians, and her work has been featured in medical journals and presented at conferences and grand rounds across the country.
