Into the Wild SUMMER Photography Sessions
It’s one thing to get out in nature, and it’s another thing to capture some of the beauty in a
photograph. Through four sessions, professional photographer and our Grouse Mountain
Wildlife Manager, Devin Manky, will provide important technical and artistic “pointers” and
take a small group to desirable locations at which to capture natural scenes.
Each session
has a different focus:
June – Wildlife (complete)
July 27 – Macro
August 24 – Landscape
September –
Night Sky/Long Exposure
Time: 6-8pm for the June, July and August sessions; 7-9pm for the September session.
About Devin: In addition to his role as Wildlife Manager for Grouse Mountain Resort,
Devin Manky is an established, professional photographer. Devin shoots extensively for
the Vancouver Canucks and Fencing Canada. His work has taken him around the world
and is regularly picked up by Getty Images. While Devin has made a name for himself as
an action & sports photographer, his roots are in wildlife and landscape photography.
Some of his most beloved images are those of Grinder and Coola and views from atop
Grouse Mountain. Devin is a soon-to-be father, and his recent work includes maternity
photography featuring his beautiful wife.
