Experience a new photo exhibit from the book by Amy Gulick

In Alaska, wild salmon are a source of food, livelihood, and culture, connecting generations and communities. Fifteen large-format photographs by award-winning photographer Amy Gulick from her new book, The Salmon Way: An Alaska State of Mind, illustrate a beautiful and enduring portrayal of people connected to the fish that define their lives.

Created for the International Year of the Salmon celebrations taking place in 2019 through 2022, The Salmon Way exhibit explores the web of human relationships that revolve around wild salmon in Alaska. With stunning photographs and compelling stories by photographer and author Amy Gulick, the exhibit illustrates the rich ways of life made possible by salmon.

The Salmon Way was produced by photographer Amy Gulick and Braided River, a nonprofit publisher in Seattle, Washington. A companion book of the same title accompanies the exhibit. TheSalmonWay.org
