Hey Wicked Hunters,

Welcome back to The Art of Photography Podcast, Today I want to welcome Peter O’Hara.

Pete considers himself “A guy trying to live out adventures I created in my head as a child while flipping through National Geographic Magazines.”

The majority of Pete’s early creative career was spent working in the Canadian television industry, providing the fortunate opportunity at a young age to travel the world while developing my skills as a cinematographer, editor, and photographer.

With these skills, he began working on branded projects with agencies and brands such as Ikea, Buick and Lexus before beginning to focus my expertise on television development collaborating with companies such as Disney, HGTV, Discovery Channel and The Property Brothers.

Pete says,” While these projects allowed for personal and professional growth, after 10 years in the industry, I was ready to take on a new challenge.

Though I always loved my time spent abroad, it wasn’t until spending two months travelling to New Zealand that I discovered my love and passion for outdoor adventure photography and filmmaking.

Through this realisation, the course of my career naturally shifted, and I began to invest more time learning how to improve my skills and the art of adventure storytelling.

I am a professional drone operator with advanced drone certification through Transport Canada and aim to enhance these stories by taking to the skies. My goal since beginning this creative venture is to share my passion for exploration and create content that will inspire others to spend more time outdoors and in nature as well as give back along the way.”

Highlights over the past few years are working with Travel Yukon, Tourism Vancouver Island, and Campbell River Whale Watching, JAR of Hope Foundation raising awareness for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
