Jason is an outdoor, action sport and travel photographer from Fredericton, New Brunswick. In addition to exhibiting fine art landscape work at galleries in Eastern Canada, he has travelled to more than ninety countries for many clients and in many capacities. He also writes about his adventures for publications including Subaru Canada's Six Star Magazine, First Air's Above and Beyond in-flight magazine, Inside Track Motorsport News, and others.

His passion lies with stark landscapes in remote regions of the world. Long exposures and graduated or solid neutral density filters capture fluidity of movement against static backgrounds and have become staples of his work. Mountains, snow, intense cold and prolonged periods of hard effort provide ample motivation. He loves being outdoors, whether it be on a bike, hiking on a remote trail, or standing perfectly still in a remote mountain stream, fishing rod in hand.

Jason draws inspiration from classical landscape photographers like Ansel Adams and Galen Rowell, expedition photographers including Jimmy Chin and Tim Kemple, and Josef Albers, a pioneer in the fields of shape and composition. The immediacy of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s work also finds appeal. He is an F-Stop Gear Staff pro photographer, a Lumix Storyteller, and a collaborator for Altitude Sports in Montreal.

Recent projects have taken place in Nunavut, Spain, South Africa, and Arizona. He had a recent landscape exhibition at the Saint John Art Centre, featuring work created in Nepal, and is preparing for another show in Fredericton in April 2020, as well as heading to Mexico for more work.
