About Artist

Yvan Bedard

Yvan Bedard is an international multi-awards winning fine art landscape photographer born and living near Quebec City, Canada. In 2014, his artistic passion dominating his scientific passion, he decided to devote himself professionally to fine art photography. Having bought his first 35mm film camera at the age of seventeen, he is a self-taught photographer who has undergone advanced training in Canada, the UK, and the USA with some of the best photographers and artists. Despite his forays in watercolor and sculpture, he kept practicing photography and went digital as soon as 2003 and got involved into fine art printing in 2009. Having always lived in mountainous regions or near rivers, he explored several regions in Quebec, Canada, Unites-States, Europe, and other parts of the world. His love of nature has led him to specialize in landscape photography. A permanent artist in art galleries since 2014 (Canada, USA, Australia, India, Spain, UK, Greece), his atypical career has not prevented him from having success with his art and participating in more than forty solo and group exhibitions in Canada and other countries. He has received several photography-related honours in international competitions and has been interviewed by media in Canada, France, Japan, the UK, Russia, and the USA. His artworks are published in magazines and books worldwide, and they can be seen in public and private collections in several countries. Being sensitive to nature and the future of our planet, he has been volunteering for several years for environmental protection and education. His luxury photography products are designed to be eco-responsible. He has made solo exhibitions about the environment, and one of his photographs was exhibited by the British High Commission of Canada for the COP26 United Nations Climate Change Conference (Glasgow, UK, 2021). As a former successful university researcher in geospatial data engineering, author, and international lecturer, he has also received several scientific awards. He is an Emeritus Professor from Laval University, a Distinguished Engineer in the United States, and an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society.
