Video by Brian Lesteberg
Minnesota-based photographer Brian Lesteberg’s Raised to Hunt records his family’s annual hunt following the migratory birds that descend from Canada to central North Dakota. A meditation on nature’s vulnerability as well as his relationship with his father, the project depicts a family tradition as steady as the migrations it depends on. Lesteberg’s images chronicle the people and places of his native land and they bear witness to an age old ritual and its place in the layered order of the natural world.

His photographs are in the collections of the Minnesota Museum of American Art, St. Paul, MN, the Milwaukee Art Museum, and the Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College, Chicago, IL.
