Canon Names Tyler Stableford: Explorer of Light

Canon USA has nominated Aspen photographer Tyler Stableford as their newest Explorer of Light. According to Explorer of Light administrator Steven Inglima:

We are thrilled to have Tyler on our team. Tyler was my first choice for an edgy, lifestyle photographer. His work shows athletic dynamism, social consciousness, a sense of danger and risk and is technically superb.

Stableford has won numerous Picture of the Year awards (not to mention his cover image on the 2007 Arts Photo Annual) for his dramatic images shot in challenging environments, including those of Icelandic glacier caves and Colorado miners. In addition, Men’s Journal named him one of the seven Worlds Greatest Adventure Photographers, and he had two award-winning adventure photos selected by PDN Magazine’s July 2008 Great Outdoors photo contest.

As an Explorer of Light, Stableford will teach seminars unique to his niche of outdoor sports, lifestyle, and heavy industry. Stableford commented:

I am honored to be part of this exceptional team and to have the opportunity to share my passion for photography.

Canon has booked Stableford to present a seminar at the upcoming PhotoPlus Expo in New York City. The October 23 talk is titled World-Class Stock: Generating Ideas, Gaining Access and Creating Exceptional Work.

It’s hard to keep up with Tyler, as his latest shoots include:

• Two lifestyle assignments for Disney’s new travel website, shot in Aspen and Vail
• Photographing the Cabela’s 2008 fall outerwear, menswear and workwear catalogs in the Aspen and Crystal valleys of western Colorado.
• A cover shoot in the Rocky Mountains for National Geographic Adventure’s upcoming September issue

Book him now, while he’s catching his breath!
