About:

Andy Denton’s journey into photography is as dynamic and adventurous as his lifestyle. Born in England and raised in the heart of Robin Hood country, Andy’s love for the outdoors began early, thanks to his time in the Scouts. “I was trained in hiking, map reading, navigation, outdoor survival, and camping,” he recalls. These skills would later shape not only his personal adventures but also his photographic style.

After moving to Calgary in the 1990s, Andy embraced life in the Canadian Rockies. From skiing the slopes of Lake Louise to racing mountain bikes in 24-hour endurance events, his life has always been filled with action and energy. “I started photographing ski races because my daughters were involved, and it quickly turned into a passion,” Andy says. His focus on capturing high-speed moments led him to invest in advanced photography courses, culminating in a master class in fine art photography in 2019.

Today, Andy’s artistry spans beyond sports photography. He’s an award-winning photographer whose work has been recognised by esteemed organisations like the FAPA, ND Awards, and the Epson Pano Awards. A Platinum member of Canon Professional Services, Andy swears by his Canon R5 and Canon 5D Mark III, tools that help him translate the raw beauty of the Canadian Rockies into breathtaking images.

Andy’s dedication to his craft is evident in his membership with the Master’s Photographers International, where he has achieved a Craftsman degree in Nature Photography and continues to earn accolades toward a Master’s degree in both nature and fine art photography.

“I love to tell stories through my lens,” Andy shares. His portfolio is a testament to this ethos, filled with images that evoke emotion and inspire awe. Whether it’s a fast-action ski race or a serene landscape, Andy’s work consistently showcases his unique perspective and technical mastery.
