Jason Leo Bantle

Jason Leo Bantle is a Canadian wildlife photographer with a deep passion for capturing nature's beauty. Growing up near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Bantle developed an early connection with the natural world, which later influenced his career. He pursued his academic studies at the University of Saskatchewan, earning both a bachelor's degree in biology and a master's degree with a focus on Arctic Fox ecology. It was during his time in the Arctic that his interest in photography began to flourish.

Bantle transitioned from a biologist to a fine art nature photographer, combining his scientific knowledge with his artistic talent. His work is characterized by its authenticity, with minimal digital alteration, focusing on capturing organic moments in nature. His photographs have been exhibited internationally and are available in his "All in the Wild" galleries across Canada. Bantle also actively contributes to conservation efforts, donating a portion of his sales to land conservation funds, which have helped protect over 1,600 acres of land.
