NATURE DRIVEN PHOTOGRAPHY
ARTIST STATEMENT
My photography is rooted in a mindful encounter with the natural world, where light, atmosphere, and quiet moments reveal subtle emotional resonance.
Through considered composition and an emphasis on the interplay of light and shadow, my images invite viewers to slow down and engage with place in a personal, immersive way. The work seeks not just to depict the land and its creatures, but to evoke the presence and connection those scenes hold for me, and hopefully, for those who encounter them.

BIO
Jaclyn Tanemura is a Canadian photographer based in British Columbia. Her background spans fine-art landscape, editorial, and commissioned photography, with professional experience in wedding, and commercial work for outdoor and tourism-focused clients.
Throughout her career, Jaclyn's focus has led to her work being featured in national print media and across international photography publications. Her accolades include multi-page feature articles in Outdoor Photography Canada, print publication in Canadian Geographic, and editorial recognition as a top-ten finalist with National Geographic Your Shot.
She has led photography workshops in backcountry settings and brings a strong emphasis on atmosphere, storytelling, and emotional restraint to her current fine-art practice. Today, Jaclyn is focusing her practice on delving in to the deeper creative process and psychology behind the frame. Exploring the narrative structures and colour theory of the Old Masters, she's currently studying how to bring those classical painting philosophies into the naturally shifting light of the wilderness.
She is increasingly drawn to editorial photography as a space where narrative, place, and visual mood intersect.
