Ethan Meleg is a
professional outdoor
photographer from Ontario,
Canada. He specializes in
photos of outdoor
recreation, natural
landscapes, birds and
wildlife.
Ethan grew up near world
famous birding hotspot Point
Pelee National Park and
often skipped classes to
chase songbirds during
migration. By the time he
was a teenager, he had
developed an in-depth
knowledge of nature and
joined the champion
Kowa 'Canadian' Birding Team.
At 19, he
received a hand-me-down
camera from his parents and
began to learn the basics of
nature photography. In
between watching birds and
taking photos, he
miraculously completed a
degree in Environment and
Resource Studies at Trent
University. Before becoming
a pro photographer, Ethan
enjoyed a 10 year career as
a communications specialist
and manager with Parks
Canada, working at 3
different national parks in
Ontario.
A self-taught
photographer,
Ethan's photos have been
published by National
Geographic, Ranger Rick,
Forbes, Canadian
Geographic, Popular
Photography, Wyman
Calendars, Lonely
Planet, Cottage Life,
Birder's World, Wildbird,
National Wildlife,
Nature Canada, ON
Nature, Canoe & Kayak
and many more. He also
writes the humour column
in every issue of Outdoor
Photography Canada
magazine.
Ethan has just
finished a year-long
photo adventure
traveling around North
America in a VW camper
van. His great passion
in life is exploring the
natural world through
his camera, whether on
exciting trips or in his
own backyard.
