f-stop Ambassador Jess Findlay Profile Image

JESS FINDLAY

COUNTRY:
CA
STATE/PROVINCE:
BC
LANGUAGE:
EN

Born and raised just outside Vancouver, in Burnaby, British Columbia – an area rich in biodiversity – it didn't take Jess long to spark an interest in the natural world. His childhood was spent hiking and birdwatching with his family, throughout the Pacific Northwest. With help from his father, an avid hobbyist nature photographer at the time, this interest in the outdoors developed into a passion for artistically documenting living creatures and dramatic landscapes. In 2011, Jess was awarded the International Youth Photographer of the Year award from Nature's Best Photography; prompting him to further pursue this serious hobby. 

Since then, Jess has gone on to be awarded in the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, among other accolades. Photography has brought him deep into the backcountry of the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and throughout remote regions of Central and South America. Living in an area with charismatic wildlife rivaled only by the surrounding scenery, Jess has developed a unique style combining elements from both landscape and wildlife photography; creating contextual images that bridge the gap, speaking to both the animal's and environment's story. Equally at home, alone in the wilderness or in a group setting sharing his experiences, Jess is eager to continue exploring; raising awareness about the world's incredible natural beauty, as well as guiding photography workshops to help others pursue their passion. Jess' work has been displayed at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington DC, the London Natural History Museum in the UK and the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria, Canada. He is also an experienced public speaker, having lectured aboard Cunard Cruise Liners, and at the renowned Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles, California.

Il microcosmo della Rocca Workshop di fotografia naturalistica e storytelling nella riserva naturale di Manerba

Un’immersione fotografica tra i contrasti cromatici e ambientali della Riserva Naturale della Rocca di Manerba del Garda. Questo workshop è un viaggio che attraversa ecosistemi opposti: dal microcosmo vitale delle zone umide, dove impareremo a gestire la luce e il movimento per ritrarre la rapidità di libellule e tricotteri, fino alle pendenze aride e solari della riserva. Dedicheremo particolare attenzione alla fotografia botanica, andando alla ricerca delle rare orchidee selvatiche, per poi alzare lo sguardo e studiare la composizione del paesaggio lacustre dalle iconiche scogliere a picco sul Garda. Il corso è rivolto a chi vuole affinare la tecnica della macro-fotografia e del paesaggio, imparando a leggere il territorio per valorizzare sia il dettaglio invisibile che l'ampio orizzonte, nel rispetto assoluto dell'ambiente.

Africa - Zambia - Explore South Luangwa - Leopards and more!

There are few places in Africa as raw and rewarding as South Luangwa National Park. Known as the home of the walking safari and one of the best places on the continent to see the elusive Leopard, this is where patience and passion for wildlife truly pay off. Set along the winding Luangwa River, the park is bursting with life — from vast herds of elephant and buffalo to hippos crowding the waterways, and predators never far away. But it’s the leopards that steal the show. South Luangwa has one of the highest densities in Africa, offering incredible opportunities to observe and photograph these solitary cats as they move silently through the bush or rest in the trees above. Days are shaped by golden light and anticipation. Early morning drives, slow explorations of the bush, and evenings that come alive with nocturnal action. Whether you’re behind the camera or simply taking it all in, every moment feels immersive and real. This isn’t just a photo safari, it’s a proper wilderness experience. Wild, authentic, and unforgettable.
