Great photography has the power to stop you in your tracks, reveal truths and inspire change.
And for nearly a century, two iconic brands have been synonymous with exceptional photography: Canadian Geographic and Nikon Canada. That’s why Can Geo’s publisher The Royal Canadian Geographical Society is proud to announce Nikon Canada as its official photography partner.
Since 1929, the RCGS has inspired Canadians to learn more about their country by funding expeditions to Canada’s furthest reaches and telling incomparable stories — and great photography has always been critical to doing so. From capturing Henry Larsen’s groundbreaking west-to-east traverse of the Northwest Passage to revealing the first fateful moments of the discovery of Sir John Franklin’s lost ships to celebrating the 150th anniversary of Confederation, the RCGS and Can Geo use photography to tell the story of Canada’s history in real time.
“Given its century-long history of global excellence, Nikon Canada is a natural partner for Canadian Geographic and The Royal Canadian Geographical Society. Our organization is famous for amazing photography, much of which, particularly in recent years, has been captured with Nikon cameras. Indeed, our Photographers-In-Residence are both Nikon shooters and ambassadors,” says Gilles Gagnier, Canadian Geographic’s COO and publisher.
It’s no surprise then that Can Geo’s Photographers-In-Residence, Michelle Valberg and Daisy Gilardini, are Nikon Ambassadors, venturing to the extremes of the country to capture stunning images featured in our print publications and digital spaces. Nikon Canada has also generously sponsored the Can Geo Photo Club for years. As Can Geo’s photography community, the largest such club in the world, the Can Geo Photo Club delivers competitions and fantastic prizes to our network of Canadian photographers. Now, as official photography partners, Nikon Canada and the RCGS will continue to develop new ways to promote remarkable photography.
“Nikon Canada is thrilled to be expanding and deepening its partnership with The Royal Canadian Geographical Society. We’re excited to continue working closely with Canadian Geographic to celebrate Canada through breathtaking images,” says Amanda Mohammed, director of marketing and communications for Nikon Canada.
Over the last 100 years, Nikon Canada has consistently moved the photography, imaging and optics industry forward. Nikon’s digital SLR cameras continue to revolutionize photography for professional photographers and photojournalists. And with a range of consumer Digital SLR cameras, Nikon also offers enthusiasts and virtually anyone looking to take spectacular pictures the same speed, quality and durability of the pros.

Nikon Canada and Canadian Geographic are hosting a draw for one Nikon and three Can Geo prize packs on social media. Follow @cangeo and @nikoncanada on Instagram to learn more.
