Life in the Great Bear Rainforest

Journeying the Great Bear Waters

Canada | Monday, June 17, 2013 | 5 photos

I live a semi-nomadic life, winters on land and summers at sea. I’ve been photographing wilderness regions since I was a child using my mom’s 35mm film camera in my (then!) blueberry-stained hands. I grew up in a lifestyle of rustic-living… treeplanting camps.

Summertimes I work on a 70’ wooden schooner, the “Passing Cloud”. We travel the remote northern coastline of BC. My aim is to work as a professional photographer. I mentored for a year as an editorial work scholar within Aperture photography magazine, New York. I chose this internship to experience the inside world of photographic publication. I attained my BFA in Intermedia Arts at Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver BC. Photography and storytelling have always been my practice.

I want to learn more! It would be incredible to mentor with Jason Edwards and learn from a professional travel-photography master and to experience working within the National Geographic team. I’m ready to have a wild adventure in Greenland and hone my photography and editing skills.

I hope to participate in this educational photographic journey and adventure. My hands are no longer blueberry-stained, but they’re still carrying a camera!
