Ben is an award winning adventure photographer, writer, filmmaker, and polar guide who deeply loves wild places. Whether it’s pioneering singletrack mountain bike routes in Greenland, climbing peaks in Garibaldi Park, or exploring the cultural side of cold water surfing, Ben strives to tell engaging, original stories with a focus on adventure and environmental stewardship.
Adventure lives in wild places and these extreme environments are some of the most difficult places to capture imagery on the planet. From mountains to jungles, deserts to the polar regions or here at home in British Columbia’s temperate rainforests, each environment comes with its own unique set of challenges. In this workshop, adventure photographer Ben Haggar will share stories, tips, and tricks from shooting assignments on all 7 continents over the past 25 years including BBC earth productions in the Arctic, mountain biking in the Himalayas, and camel trekking across the Sahara.
Sharing our festival will help us grow and get important film content to new viewers!
