Photographer and filmmaker passionate about the outdoors and storytelling.

Some days, I find myself embracing the role of a documentary photographer, excited about embedding myself into a great story. On other days, I’m excited about all the things that go into a large-scale, commercial advertising campaign. Essentially, as long as there’s a camera around and there’s great photos to be made, I’m all in.

I’m a big fan of being outside and a strong advocate for the protection of our planet. So much so that I created an environmental media project. Check it out here: www.goodplanetproject.com

I’m also a frequent contributor to Stocksy United. You can see that work here: www.stocksy.com/dylanleeder/

Located beside the Rocky Mountains in Calgary, Alberta but always appreciate the opportunity to shoot in new locations.

I still need to limit my running while my foot heals, but to stay active and get outside, I’ve been taking walks with my ‘small camera.’ Here are a few shots from around the neighborhood.
These guys were snowboarding around the corner from me, so I asked if I could come back with my camera. These are the results.
@jazmine_lowther came first in the UT100 in South Africa! Amazing work Jazmine! Congrats! 🥇
I underestimated the impact Bron would have. We lost Bron on August 31st while camping in the van. We were two hours from civilization, and it took hours. We didn’t realize how bad it was until it was too late—we were too far from help.
A few more fun shots with @markscanada , taken outside Victoria, BC, while working on their national Explore campaign. As always, thanks to everyone who helped make these shoots happen! More at the link in my bio.
