My name is Greg Harvey. I own a personal training company in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Since the year 2000, I have been taking pictures of wildlife
in western Canada on every
holiday that I have been on hoping that out of the 300-500 pictures that
I take each trip, that one or two of them will be unique enough to
enlarge, frame and hang on a wall at home as a reminder of each
wildlife
photography
safari excursion. In 2002, my better half Gaye; got hooked on the photography trips as well. Each picture in our house has a story and each one is framed with a plaque below it with a caption and where it was shot. Today our trips are a little more serious. Rather than take a few hundred pictures, we need to take 20,000 images per trip to ensure we get a few good prints.
Although western Canada is beautiful, I really needed to experience wildlife around the world, so that's what we do. Our favourite subjects are cats and furry babies.
Over the past few years I have gotten a lot of compliments on our framed wildlife prints, so I bought a large format printer and started printing and selling them. That led to this website and the Harvey Wildlife Photography exhibits at Scotia Place and Petroleum Plaza in Edmonton. We have a big exhibit that goes up twice a year in the lobby on the main floor in Scotia Place and permanent exhibits downstairs on the concourse level of Scotia Place as well as Petroleum Plaza and the Good Earth Cafe in Scotia Place. Come check it out if you are in the neighbourhood at 10060 Jasper Avenue or 9945 108 St. Edmonton Alberta. You can also order Harvey Wildlife Photography prints online here.

What do photographers do on polar bear safari when it is -54 celcius and it is too cold for the vehicles?
Oddly enough we went for a 90 minute walk.

Governors Camp Collection Photo Contest Thank you to everyone who submitted photos to our wildlife photo contest. We had a massive response and we were so impressed by the quality of your photographs. It took a while and a lot of deliberation to decide on a winner but we have now done so and can announce that the winner of the Governors' Camp Collection 2010 Wildlife Photo Contest was Greg Harvey with his stunning lion photo!
