In their most recent episode, we had the pleasure of helping The Nature Photo Guys host Nikon Ambassador and award-winning wildlife photographer and storyteller Michelle Valberg.
Michelle Valberg is an extraordinary photographer whose work has significantly influenced the art of visual storytelling. With an impressive career spanning across four decades, she has perfected the skill of capturing not just pictures, but the very essence of life, wildlife, and awe-inspiring landscapes. Her outstanding contributions to the field have earned her numerous accolades, including the wildlife gold medal at the World Photographic Cup held in Rome in 2022 and the Julia Margaret Cameron Award for Women Photographers. As a Nikon Ambassador and Canadian Geographic Photographer-in-Residence, her artistry goes beyond traditional boundaries, inviting us to form a deep connection with the natural world and its striking beauty. Her significant contributions to the field have been widely acknowledged, and she was honoured with the prestigious Order of Canada in 2022. In addition to her photographic achievements, she has authored four books and founded Project North, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting youth in Canada’s northern communities through sports.
