Photojournalism - Vancouver

Tales close to home and around the world by Ian Harland


Welcome to my portfolio of photojournalism and editorial photography. I'm Ian Harland, a Vancouver-based photographer with a deep interest in storytelling. My work is varied and while many of my narratives are deeply rooted in the themes of nature and wildlife, I explore a diverse range of subjects, each with its own unique story. My ability to capture the essence of these stories through my lens has led to collaborations with editors and journalists worldwide, adding depth and context to their publications.
