“WATCHING BEARS WHILE STANDING WAIST DEEP IN A RIVER IN MY CHEST WADERS IN THE POURING RAIN IS MY HAPPY PLACE”
Edward Savage is a Vancouver Island based photographer, naturalist guide, and author. Growing up surrounded by forest and ocean, Edward gained a deep desire to learn and explore wild spaces. While studying, he began leading nature based expeditions at the age of 19 -always with his camera. What began as a curiosity, led to a nearly 20 year career in nature focused expeditions and photography. From paddling a kayak among orcas, pulling a boat up a river to find grizzlies, or standing out in -40 to watch the northern lights, Edward will be there.
