About...

For nearly three decades, Joe has chased the wild through his lens. From the rugged peaks of the Rockies to the frozen edges of the Arctic, he has built a reputation for capturing the untamed beauty of wildlife and landscapes across Canada and beyond.

His work has earned multiple national accreditations with the Professional Photographers of Canada (PPOC) in wildlife, nature, landscape, equine, portraiture, and others—along with the prestigious designation of Master Photographer in Nature (MPN) with Master Photographers International. Award-winning and nationally published, Joe’s images serve as both inspiration and reference for photographers at every level.

As co-host of The Nature Photo Guys Podcast with Chris Gibbs, Joe blends humour, insight, and hard-earned field experience to connect with a wide audience of nature enthusiasts.

Above all, Joe’s greatest passion is teaching. Through workshops, seminars, and speaking engagements, he thrives on helping photographers refine their technical skills and uncover their creative voice. Whether in a classroom, along a trail, or waiting quietly for wildlife to emerge, he finds energy and inspiration in the enthusiasm of his students.

For Joe, the true reward is when his photography inspires others to step outside, explore, and experience the wild for themselves.
