In 23 years, Jacquie Matechuk has earned a reputation for capturing "the moment" with images that speak to the journey and successes of her subjects. It’s her profound love for storytelling that gives her subjects a voice to be heard. Always striving to produce visuals that are both thought-provoking and emotionally relatable.
"Our inherent connection to the natural world reveals our complete dependence on the health and biodiversity of this complex planet. And I believe as creatives, it falls on us to generate content that is relatable and engaging for those who may never experience firsthand, the places and things we do."
Whether she’s focused on epic scenery, iconic architecture, wildlife conservation, or professional sports, Jacquie’s goal remains the same: put the viewer in the moment and set their mind free. Today, Jacquie shares her passion for photography as a Canon Canada Ambassador, anxious to teach other creators how to nurture and grow their passion. Whether she’s mentoring a small group of photographers in the pristine wilderness of the Canadian coastline or working with the CCPC (Canadian Conservation Photographers Collective) to partner with organizations leading the fight to protect what we have.
So from the canyons of the Andes Mountains, as a certified bear guide, to the sidelines of the CFL, you’ll find Jacquie always grateful for the time and opportunities to do what she loves. To accept the challenge of capturing a moment in time that might otherwise go unnoticed. She will continue to strive to uniquely and creatively capture the people, places, and biodiversity of this beautiful planet.
Jacquie’s international recognition includes a gold medal at the 2024 World Photographic Cup, and again at the 2024 International Visionary Awards, 2024 Canadian Commercial Photographer of the Year title, a Masters of Photographic Arts and several other international award-winning captures… "I invite you to enjoy the world as I see it."
