Viktoria Haak,

Nikon Canada Ambassador

  • MONDAY, MARCH 23, 2020 7:00 PM
  • FIFTH AVENUE SENIOR CENTRE SALMON ARM
  • Admission by Donation

Originally from the UK and a resident of BC, Canada since 2007, heavily influenced by the beautiful environment that surrounds her. A background in fine art and anthropology. This combined with the love of the natural world brings a unique perspective to her photography: Her ethos is to tread lightly; observe and search out the subtle visual story within whichever photographic genre she is working. Her work covers the fields of landscape, portrait, wedding, event, promotion, editorial, stock and photography education; allowing her to stay creative and excited about the projects undertaken.

Proud to be a Nikon Canada Ambassador and Lowepro Global Ambassador.
