Canadian photographer Terry Parker has spent the past 10 years travelling throughout northern Canada specializing in wildlife and eco-tourism. In 1990 he visited McNeil River Bear Sanctuary where his love for bears and photography convinced him to become a wildlife photographer. His first break would be as a staff photographer for a raft and canoe company travelling remote northern rivers documenting the trips for slide shows and brochures. Eight years later Terry is still working those trips with Nahanni River Adventures as well as doing contract work with NWT Arctic Tourism each summer.

The stock photo business is handled by Viewpoints West and Ursus in Vancouver as well as Hotshots from Toronto who market worldwide. Terry's work has appeared in National Geographic, Natural History, Canadian Geographic, Ranger Rick, Enroute, Equinox, Canadian Wildlife, Backpacker, Nature Canada, Beautiful BC, Explore as well as other publications. Books, calendars, postcards, greeting cards and posters have also featured his work.

Terry recently opened a gallery offering limited edition wildlife photos along with cards, books, posters and calendars featuring his work. Photo Tours are also available with Terry on a select number of trips for 2001. His extensive experience in the field, as well as being an accomplished naturalist is quickly earning him recognition as one of Canada's leading outdoor photographers. As a freelance photographer Terry is available for contract/assignment work year round. Terry makes his home in beautiful Fernie, BC.
