About Us

Donald A. Pettit

Donald Pettit For 25 years, professional photographer Donald A Pettit has explored and documented the Peace River Region of British Columbia. As a commercial photographer, he has traveled the region extensively, sometimes by float plane or helicopter, often backpacking into areas few have seen. His work reflects his love for, and concern for, the natural world. His creative goal is to faithfully capture the wonder and beauty of nature in all of its forms. Don lives near Dawson Creek, British Columbia, in a solar powered home of his own design and construction. His lifestyle and images both express his active concern for the natural environment. His work is widely published, his fine art photographs exhibited in both solo and group shows, and his photographs are found in private collections across Canada.

Don is the creator of the large-format coffee table photo book and companion DVD The Peace: an exploration in photographs, which has become a regional best-seller since first published in 2001. His latest book, The Peace: a history in photographs was released in the fall of 2008 to great acclaim, becoming shortlisted for two awards, and much appreciation from the historians of the area.
