Bio

Jonathan Ward FCAPA – Photographer

Jonathan is a photographer specializing in Wildlife and Travel photography. His work is in collections in India, Canada, the USA and a number of countries in Europe.

Jonathan has presented multiple times at international conferences and has created audio visual travelogues for a prestigious country club in Toronto.  His work has been exhibited in a number of Art Exhibitions and Shows in the Toronto area.  His images have won medals in international competitions.

He is a former President of TDPC and is a CAPA certified national and international photographic competition judge and an OCCC certified judge. He has judged over 400 competitions, locally, Canada wide and internationally.

He is the mentor to a group of TDPC photographers.

His journeys have taken him to many parts of the world, but his artistic passion is centered on Southern Africa and India – places to which he travels regularly.

Jonathan says: Photography is a place where I forget the rest of the world and there is just my camera and whatever I am photographing. I decided early on in my photographic career that Nature and Wildlife were the areas which interested me most. I have travelled to some relatively exotic places to capture my images . I find wildlife photography challenging and while subject knowledge and patience are important, the connection between the photographer and his / her subject is more so. Photography is a continuing process of learning. There is always something new to learn, something new to experience, some new area to explore and, new challenges to overcome.
