Meet Terry
I have spent the last 30 years photographing wildlife and wilderness areas throughout Canada’s Northern Territories, Rocky Mountains and most recently, Ontario’s birding hotspots. In the early 90’s I began traveling in the north with Nahanni River Adventures, a raft and canoe adventure outfitter based in Whitehorse, Yukon, photographing for multi-media use. I and owner Neil Hartling later released our book "Alaska to Nunavut: The Great Rivers” featuring 10 spectacular remote rivers. Around this time I began working over several summers with the North-West Territories (NWT) Tourism Board shooting around the territory on contract for the yearly NWT Vacation Guide. Living in beautiful Fernie, BC in the Southern Rockies also allowed me to build a large photofile of animals from this area, including my favourite - the Grizzly Bear.
My extensive experience in the field, as well as being an accomplished naturalist, has earned me recognition as one of Canada’s leading outdoor photographers.
I returned “home” to South Western Ontario where my new pursuits are of the feathered kind. Birds are now my main passion featuring both resident and migratory species throughout the Lake Erie Basin.

Photo equipment used
My entire career I’ve used Nikon equipment and I’m currently using the Nikon Z8 and D750 bodies, with the Nikon 600mm f4 FL and the Nikon 200-500mm f5.6.
I have also used Gitzo tripods for years and currently use the Carbon 6X model with a Wimberley Gimbal tripod head.
After 30 years, I still believe Nikon’s slogan is true…
“Nikon takes the world’s greatest pictures!”
