Organization: Lidgard Photography
Theme: Natural History/Science
Format: Exhibit
Damian’s interest in nature photography began in 1990 after he graduated from university with a Bachelor’s degree in Zoology. Damian believes that a good photograph comes from the eye and not the camera and has used his zoological training and experience to teach himself to quietly observe and photograph nature. His photography skills are self-taught. In 2006, Damian developed his observational skills through studying Miksang, a contemplative approach to photography. This meditative art form transformed his view of the world and encouraged him to take a more confident and meditative approach to his photography. Damian is now based in Halifax, NS where he combines his work as a zoologist and photographer. His work has been published in several international magazines, in galleries across Nova Scotia and has published a book of his work. The exhibit will showcase some of his work on Sable Island.
