Welcome aboard John Haig!

Processional Photographer to accompany Arctic Expedition

John Haig

With Polar Bear Season officially underway in Churchill, Gold Star Canadian Tours is incredibly excited to welcome John Haig to our Expedition Team. John is joining the team as the guest Photographer aboard the Ottawa Expedition.

John became obsessed with photography at an early age, when his grandfather gave him an old Kodak Brownie box camera to keep him “out of trouble”. He immediately set out to photograph the local wildlife on his farm, with just enough success to keep him going.

At 17, he began shooting professionally as a portrait and wedding photographer. This quickly evolved into a multi-faceted career behind the camera. In four decades following, he has worked continually as a freelance photographer in many different fields, been published internationally multiple times, and had his work represented at noted galleries.

Wildlife photography remains his core reason for picking up his camera. Based on his family homestead in the 1000 Islands region of Eastern Ontario, he has traversed North America from coast to coast to photograph wild nature.

Expedition guests are welcome to work with John throughout the Expedition and can expect to learn about photography and how to best capture the perfect shot. Welcome John!
