Marvin Pelkey

Born and raised along the central coast of British Columbia, Marv Pelkey spent countless hours exploring the natural world. After moving to the Greater Vancouver area, he continued to be drawn to those places largely untouched by man. As a seemingly natural way to take some of that wilderness with him each time he returned home, Marv embraced the art of photography.

Self-taught, Marv learned and honed his skills in traditional film photography, starting out capturing images of wildlife then eventually settling on landscapes. Landscape photography brought with it a sense of solitude, quiet and peace that other types of photography did not seem to offer.

Marv eventually transitioned into the digital realm and now captures and prepares his images with digital tools. As an added benefit, the digital environment also provided him the means to blend multiple images, to best convey the impressions he experiences in the field.

Né et ayant grandi le long de la côte centrale de la Colombie-Britannique, Marv Pelkey a passé d’innombrables heures à explorer le monde naturel. Après son déménagement dans la région du Grand Vancouver, il est resté attiré par ces lieux largement intacts par l’activité humaine. Comme une façon naturelle d’emporter un peu de cette nature sauvage avec lui à chaque retour chez lui, Marv s’est tourné vers l’art de la photographie.

Autodidacte, Marv a appris et perfectionné ses compétences en photographie argentique traditionnelle, débutant par des images de la faune pour finalement se consacrer aux paysages. La photographie de paysages lui a offert un sentiment de solitude, de calme et de paix que d’autres formes de photographie ne semblaient pas offrir.

Marv a ensuite fait la transition vers le domaine numérique, où il capture et prépare maintenant ses images avec des outils numériques. Ce nouvel environnement lui permet également de fusionner plusieurs images afin de mieux transmettre les impressions qu’il ressent sur le terrain.
