We are excited to announce a wonderful addition to this year's Festival. Ethan Meleg will be our guest speaker on Saturday and Sunday.
Ethan is a freelance
photographer from Ontario, Canada. He specializes in photos of outdoor
recreation, landscapes, ecosystems, birds and wildlife. He is
represented by major stock agencies and has been published by National
Geographic, Canadian Geographic, Forbes, Ontario Tourism, Lonely Planet,
Popular Photography and many more. Ethan is a popular keynote speaker,
workshop leader and magazine columnist. He writes the humor column in
every issue of
Outdoor Photography Canada Magazine. Ethan is sponsored by numerous
camera-gear companies including Singh-Ray filters, Sigma Canada and
F-stop packs.
Growing up near world
famous birding hotspot Point Pelee National Park, Ethan often skipped
school to watch songbirds during migration. By the time he was a
teenager, he had developed an in-depth knowledge of nature. At 19, he
received a hand-me-down camera from his parents and began to learn the
basics of nature photography. In between watching birds and taking
photos, he completed a degree in Environment and Resource Studies at
Trent University. Before becoming a pro photographer, Ethan had
developed a career as a nature guide and communications specialist in
national parks.
Ethan is 39 years old
and lives in the Georgian Bay area of Ontario. His greatest
passion in life is exploring the natural world through his camera,
whether on exciting trips or in his own backyard.
