PJ Leroux is a contemporary photographer and visual artist from the Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn First Nation near Golden Lake, Ontario. His practice is rooted in the relationships between land, culture, memory, and identity — relationships shaped by place, lived experience, and the intergenerational stories carried within his community. Leroux’s images often emerge from moments of quiet attention: the angle of light across water, the presence of landforms, the texture of ceremonial garments, or the expressions of the people around him. Through these visual traces, he builds a body of work that reflects both personal narrative and the broader continuities of Indigenous life.
Leroux’s photographs have been featured in public and community-focused installations, including a major commission displayed in the lobby of a landmark development along the Ottawa–Gatineau waterfront. His growing presence within contemporary Indigenous art reflects the clarity and sensitivity of his vision, as well as the importance of the stories he brings forward. Through each image, he contributes to a living narrative of Indigenous presence — one grounded in respect for land, connection to community, and the complex, evolving experience of cultural identity.
