My wildlife photography, creative mixed media artwork, and content creation portfolio. Based on Vancouver Island, Canada.
I create original artwork that blends wildlife photography and creative imagery with traditional painting and wood carving techniques. Each piece is a true one-of-a-kind, combining natural textures, vivid storytelling, and handcrafted detail. It’s where the wild world and artistic imagination come together to create something you won’t find anywhere else.
My photography career started by making creative mobile photo ideas on TikTok, and everything escalated from there across platforms.
My Wild Side! A lot of photographers are scared to have a second niche, but, I also have a passion to show you how stunning and diverse our world’s wildlife is.
Before anything else, I am a Canadian photographer. Capturing the beauty of Canada’s landscapes, wildlife, and untamed moments is at the heart of everything I create. Photography is where my creative journey began, on TikTok, and it continues to be my greatest passion. While I’ve expanded into video and digital storytelling, my focus remains on telling powerful visual stories through the lens. Whether I’m deep in the wilderness, on my wildlife account, or in the heart of a city making creative art for Youtube, or Instagram, my goal is always to create images that inspire, connect, and showcase the world in a way that feels both authentic and unforgettable.
While photography is my foundation, I consider myself a professional content creator. After making thousands of videos across the internet, I’ve learned that great content takes practice, dedication, and a passion for turning the world into pixels. I display some of my creations through pages like NearMe Victoria. Every project I work on is an opportunity to refine my craft, push creative boundaries, and connect with audiences through engaging and impactful content.
I love connecting brands with creativity and nature in a way that stands out in today’s modern digital landscape. Whether it’s through stunning photography, engaging video content, or strategic social media storytelling, I focus on crafting campaigns that feel authentic and perform. My goal is to bridge the gap between brands and audiences by creating visually compelling content that not only tells a story but also drives real engagement. By blending my passion for nature with my expertise in digital marketing, I help brands build meaningful connections in a way that feels organic, inspiring, and impactful with the desired audience.
Come and edit with me. This collaborative group is primarily designed to show how I edit nature and wildlife images on platforms such as Lightroom and Photoshop.
Get ready to take some of the best photos of your life. I run a couple of wild and creative workshops each year, and they are designed to help you grow as a photographer.
In my shop, you are going to find some of my best original work, my digital marketing book, some of my favourite digital assets, and the ability to book a 1-on-1 session with me.
With 2.9 Million followers, and over 3 billion views across platforms and accounts, the one thing I have learned is that lightning strikes for those who deserve it, but it takes time and patience to set you up for success. However, once you succeed and validate your brand, the results are limitless.
Hey, my name is Jared VanderMeer and I am a Canadian Photographer and Content Creator, that has both a creative and wild side.
