About

Image of a smiling Ian Harland, adventure photographer with curly hair wearing a sleeveless shirt and climbing harness, holding a Nikon camera, standing against a rugged rock wall in the forest.

I’m Ian Harland, an award-winning Vancouver-based commercial and adventure photographer dedicated to visual storytelling. My approach blends commercial photography with a photojournalistic perspective, capturing moments and interactions that feel natural, authentic, and engaging.

I've collaborated with notable brands such as Destination Canada, Nikon and National Geographic, as well as various tourism boards, outdoor-focused companies, and environmental organizations. My photography has been featured in publications, including the National Post, Canadian Geographic, and the Globe and Mail, and exhibited in galleries worldwide. Additionally, my passion for nature and wildlife photography is showcased in my print store, offering fine art prints to collectors and enthusiasts.

Whether you're looking for new brand imagery, a story documented, or artwork for your space, I'd love to chat!
