Canadian Geographic
Photographer-In-Residence
As PIR Scott works in association with Canadian Geographic to provide audio visual presentations on the Canadian Landscape sharing the stories of the natural and cultural history of Canada, along with his colleague, singer, songwriter, and broadcaster, David Newland. Upon the publication of his book The Wild Coasts of Canada Scott completed a tour of thirteen cities across Western Canada from Victoria to Calgary. He is currently working with Canadian Geographic Presents to prepare a Canada wide tour in 2022. Stay tuned for future announcements of dates and venues
Amazing images have been at the core of Canadian Geographic throughout its nearly 90-year history. To expand the brand’s commitment to photographic excellence the Photographer-In-Residence program was created with this mission: to share compelling visual storytelling that celebrates and explores the nation’s geography, people and wildlife to make Canada better known to Canadians and the world.

Scott Colin Forsyth is Canadian Geographic’s newest Photographer-in-Residence. "Today, Forsyth has struck the perfect career balance: for most of the year, he practices family medicine in Calgary, but for six to eight weeks each summer, he works as a photographer and naturalist aboard expedition cruise ships, travelling to some of the most remote places in Canada and documenting their beauty and drama. His commitment to promoting geographic education and land conservation through his images have earned him fellowship in both The Royal Canadian Geographical Society and the International Explorers Club.”
