GREATER VANCOUVER ZOO PHOTOGRAPHY SOCIETY
Are you a photographer? Are you interested in wildlife?
You too could join the very talented bunch that we have with us called the Greater Vancouver Zoo Photography Society. We would be lost without the support of this great team of photographers and friends, so please allow us to share in their stories and how they came to join us....

Liandra Barry - Photo Society Coordinator
Liandra fell in love with photography while working in the television and fashion industry many years ago. Being around wild and exotic animals all her life, it was only a matter of time before she got involved with the Greater Vancouver Zoo. Her love for animal photography became a true passion and her work has appeared in newspapers and brought her several photography awards. Liandra's interests are animals, pets, movie stills, art & commercial photography along with portfolios and family portraits.

Cathryn Thomas - Member
Cathryn has enjoyed photography for many years, more recently using
digital format which provides a greater opportunity to capture just the
right moment, from the big cat yawn to the antics of the hippo. Cathryn
belongs to the Abbotsford Photo Arts Club where she continues to refine
her craft. Since joining the GVZoo's Photography
Society, she has been able to see first hand just how dedicated the
handlers are to the animals and looks forward to assisting in the
promotion of the Zoo's photographic requirements.

image processing. Nature and wildlife are areas of his photo interest.
