Joseph Robichaud has spent over 50 years behind the lens, documenting history, culture, and everyday life through photography. His career began in 1973 as a darkroom technician for a local newspaper, where he quickly transitioned to shooting assignments.
After six years, he became the sole photographer for a weekly newspaper, gaining extensive experience in documentary and editorial photography. This led to the launch of his own commercial photography business, with the newspaper becoming his first major client.

Throughout the late 1970s and 1980s, Joseph worked extensively in offshore photography, documenting major assignments for Mobil Oil and Petro-Canada offshore Nova Scotia.

Joseph Robichaud
The 1990s saw his return to photojournalism as a staff photographer for the revival of a weekly newspaper, while his commercial work continued to expand. His vast archive, much of it historically significant, became the foundation for Through My Looking Glass: Nova Scotia A 50-Year Photographic Retrospective.
Driven by a passion for storytelling through imagery, Joseph's work has been recognized by the Canadian Press for his award-winning photograph of Greenpeace protesters in Halifax in the mid-1970s. His photography has also been acknowledged by Professional Photography associations for its impact and technical excellence.
