Workshop Leader Showcase

As the Photographer's Lounge continues to grow we are continually looking for experieinced leaders to run our workshops and seminars.

I would like to introduce the new members of the family to you.

Ethan Meleg...

In addition to being an awesome public speaker and pizza junkie, Ethan is a freelance photographer from Ontario, Canada. He specializes in photos of outdoor recreation, landscapes, ecosystems, birds and wildlife. He is represented by major stock agencies and has been published by National Geographic, Canadian Geographic, Forbes, Ontario Tourism, Lonely Planet, Popular Photography and many more. Ethan is a popular keynote speaker, workshop leader and magazine columnist. He writes the humor column in every issue of Outdoor Photography Canada Magazine. Ethan is sponsored by numerous camera-gear companies including Singh-Ray filters, Sigma Canada and F-stop packs.

Growing up near world famous birding hotspot Point Pelee National Park, Ethan often skipped school to watch songbirds during migration. By the time he was a teenager, he had developed an in-depth knowledge of nature. 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 completed a degree in Environment and Resource Studies at Trent University. Before becoming a pro photographer, Ethan had developed a career as a nature guide and communications specialist in national parks.

Ethan is 38 years old and lives in Owen Sound at the base of the Bruce Peninsula. His greatest passion in life is exploring the natural world through his camera, whether on exciting trips or in his own backyard.
