Photographer's Profile
Yvan Bedard
Yvan Bedard Photo Nature, Canada
Yvan Bedard is a fine art landscape photographer. Born and living near Quebec City, Canada, he is a former successful academic researcher in geospatial data engineering, author, and international lecturer. Having bought his first 35mm film camera at 17, he is a self-taught photographer who has undergone advanced training in Canada, UK and the United States with some of the best photographers and artists. Despite his forays in watercolor and sculpture, he kept practicing photography and went digital as soon as 2003. Bedard has also made his own fine art prints for 15 years, including large formats. Having always lived in mountainous regions or near rivers, he explored several regions in Quebec, Canada, Unites-States, Europe, and other regions of the world. His love of nature has led him to specialize in landscape photography; nevertheless, he also likes urban photography. In 2014, his artistic passion dominating his scientific passion, he decided to devote himself professionally to fine art photography. A permanent artist in art galleries since 2014, his atypical career has not prevented him from having success with his art and participating in forty solo and group exhibitions in Canada and abroad. His work can be seen in public and private collections in nearly twenty countries. Professor Emeritus of Laval University, he offers photography courses and conferences in photography. His works are published in several magazines and books worldwide.
