Brian Merry
Hello Everyone!
Let me tell you a bit about myself, the man behind the photography. I'm originally from the beautiful province of Nova Scotia and have been living and working as a professional photographer in spectacular Banff, Alberta for more than 25 years. I moved to Banff after graduating from Acadia University earning a BSc. with honors in biology in 1996 and have been loving my choice of homes ever since. I started in landscape photography in the late1980s in Nova Scotia after getting my first film SLR camera for Christmas from my parents. And, I haven't looked back since.
I'm a published writer/photographer in Outdoor Photography Canada with a feature article, had photos publish in Kootenay Mountain Culture Magazine and published in numerous reputable blogs writing about the relationship between composition, landscape photography, wildlife photography and achieving emotional communication through your photographs. I'm also the publisher and editor of the ILPA Landscape and Wildlife Photography newsletter. You can read, google the ILPA Landscape and Wildlife Monthly newsletter to read the most recent issue.
I have been a professional photographer since 1997 and leading tours and workshops since 2007. I continue to travel, photograph and write on all aspects of outdoor photography while continuing to develop new tours and workshops across Canada and in various countries around the World, including Japan. And, I do all of this while trying hard to be a good husband!
I've also won multiple awards from the Luxury Travel Awards and the International Travel and Hospitality Awards for the photography tours that I offer both in Western Canada and around the World.
Brian's Teaching Qualifications:
While earning my BSc. with honors in Biology from Acadia University I worked as a lab instructor for various biology courses while concurrently earning my honors degree. I'm a certified NFPA instructor with 5 years of professional teaching experience at Lakeland College at their fire fighting school in Vermillion, Alberta. I've also been teaching landscape photography workshops, tours and seminars since 2007. Teaching and photography are two of my greatest passions in life, along with mountaineering and rock climbing.
You can learn more about me and see some of my work on my website. Or, you can call me at 1-403-763-1114. I wish you all the best in your photography and travel passions!
Sincerely yours,
Brian Merry
