About
Learn more about Bill, award-winning wildlife photographer.
Bill Maynard
Wildlife photographer
My passion for photography began in the late 1970s with an old Minolta camera and a fixed 50mm lens which I carried with me in to the wilds of Northern Ontario in Canada where I grew up. In those early days it was mostly landscapes that caught my eye.
Fast forward through the years and my passion has turned to wildlife photography. I now live in Eastern Ontario, Canada and am equally blessed to be surrounded by nature right out my back door.
Perspective
The passing of time has provided me with the opportunity to reflect on my work and gain a new perspective. One with more purpose, in which I hope will both inform and create an emotional connection between the viewer and wildlife. The purpose being to unite us all in the preservation of wildlife and their habitats for generations to come.
Therein lies the new challenge for me as a wildlife photographer, to create powerful stories rather than stand alone images and so my new journey begins.
Bill creates imagery that takes your breath away. He is dedicated, thoughtful, sensitive and attentive to every animal he photographs. Bill is an exceptional visual story-teller with a keen eye for detail, expression and emotion. I always look forward to seeing what he creates next.
