Donald A. Pettit

Photographers: Donald A. Pettit • Kit Fast • Trent Ernst:

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 DVDThe Peace, An Exploration in Photographs, which has become a regional best-seller since first published in 2001.

You can see many of Don's photos in the Portfolio. You can find both the book and the DVD in the store.
