Jason Duncan joined the North Shore Photographic Society in 2007 and became a member of the Canadian Association for Photographic Art (CAPA) in 2010. Since that time, he has demonstrated sustained excellence, commitment, and leadership within the photographic community.
Jason became President of the North Shore Photographic Society in 2010 and served in that role until 2017. His leadership extended nationally when he served as CAPA Pacific Zone Director for the 2024–2025 season. He subsequently stepped down from that position to assume the role of Vice President of CAPA. During the 2024–2025 season, he also served as Chair of the BC/Yukon Inter-Club Speaker Series.
Jason achieved competitive success early in his CAPA involvement, earning a Gold Medal in the 2013 CAPA Nature Competition. After a brief hiatus from competition, he returned in the 2024–2025 season with renewed distinction, receiving multiple Merit Awards and Honourable Mentions for his submitted images. He was also selected to represent Canada in the Four Nations Competition in 2015, 2016, and 2017 — a significant honour recognizing his photographic excellence on the international stage.
Beyond competition, Jason has made meaningful educational contributions to the photographic community. He has presented workshops to several clubs on “Mastering Seascape Photography” and delivered a CAPA presentation on Backup Strategies, sharing valuable technical knowledge with fellow photographers.
Jason is also an active judge for several clubs and leads a Special Interest Group on Drone Photography, where he provides guidance on rules, techniques, and technical considerations specific to drone imagery.
In recognition of his photographic achievements, exemplary leadership, and sustained service to CAPA and the broader photographic community, Jason Duncan is highly deserving of the Associate Honours Designation from CAPA.
