Aaron Harcourt was born and raised in Canada. When he was eighteen he began studying and volunteering with University of the Nations. After several years abroad Aaron discovered a ministry in Hawaii called, photogenX, that documented injustice using photography. After three years with photogrenX, Aaron returned to Canada to work and intern with a commercial photographer in Toronto before coming to UCF for Press and Editorial Photography. Although his styles vary, his real passion is documentary photography. In completing his education in 2013, he hopes to work with an agency that uses photography to capture current issues that face our world.
