Lund worked as a staff photographer for the National Film Board’s Still Photography Division from the 1940s to the 1970s. He travelled throughout the country and built a significant body of work that documents Canada’s considerable transformation in the postwar period. Lund often staged his pictures and showed a high degree of attention to composition.
