Commercial and lifestyle photographer and filmmaker passionate about the outdoors.

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.
