Reave Dennison is a photographer and printmaker based in British Columbia, Canada. He documents maritime and forestry labour on the coast where he lives and works.
Between 2016 and 2024 he worked as a crew member on small tugboats classified as under 60 gross tons. He kept a camera with him on the job and photographed the work, the crews and the weather on black-and-white film, which he develops and prints himself.
His first photobook, Under 60 Tons (Pale Fire and Information Office, 2026), brings together more than 90 of these photographs with handwritten journal entries. In 2026 Pale Fire in Vancouver also showed Tree Work, photographs he made over five years while working as a log salvor and arborist.
