Fouhse is an editorial and commercial photographer. He also spends a lot of time and emotion photographing personal projects. He has been nominated 3 times for the National Magazine Awards (and won once). His personal projects have attracted international attention and been published around the world. As well, images from his personal work have been aquired by institutional collections including The National Photo Collection of Belgium (on permanent display), the Art Collection of Global Affairs, Canada and the Ottawa Art Gallery Collection. In 2010 he was awarded The Karsh Award for Photography. Every day Fouhse finds himself in a different situation. Different circumstances. No matter, he always throws himself into the experience.
Photos come out of this process.
Convincing. Vigorous. Keen. Uncanny.
