The Wild Team

Jamie Scarrow

With over a decade working in the field as an adventure tourism guide and naturalist, Jamie Scarrow has gained an amazing understanding of the natural world.  He began his career as a naturalist guide in Knight Inlet, a coastal fiord in British Columbia, which is home to a healthy population of Grizzly bears, Bald eagles and Orca (Killer Whales).  Over twelve years at Knight Inlet Jamie developed a deep understanding of the natural instincts of wild animals and this has allowed him to capture truly unique and intimate wildlife images.  For five years, Jamie also worked in Churchill, Manitoba as a polar bear guide and naturalist; and in the past four years, his winters have been spent as guide, naturalist and zodiac driver in Antarctica.  Jamie is an ambassador for the conservation and protection of the natural world.  Through photography Jamie attempts to express the beauty and importance of some of the world’s most fragile ecosystems and most vulnerable animals.  His wildlife images have a unique feel to them, often showing the less understood side of his animal subjects.
