Fred Bird Bio: I started my career as a commercial photographer in Toronto, Ontario and opened my first photography studio in the early 70’s.  Through the 80’s and 90’s I specialized in food photography working for blue chip clients like  Campbell Soups,  Canadian Egg Marketing Board, Canadian Living Magazine,  Carnation,  General Foods/Kraft,  Kelloggs,  Heinz, IGA Foods,  Lipton’s, Loeb Stores, New Zealand Spring Lamb, Ontario Pork Board, Seagrams Distillery and Standard Brands to name a few.

I was best known for my food photos that appeared monthly in Canadian Living Magazine, starting with their first issue in December 1975 and continuing through to 1995. As a result, I have over 5,000 food images to sell as stock photography.

I moved my studio to Salmon Arm, BC in September 1994 to pursue a more relaxed life style and to live in an incredible beautiful setting.

I work a lot, these days, in high definition video and with the new affordable cameras, the internet and the ever changing digital world I will never stop learning my craft.

Photography is still my passion, whether it is stills or video.  Capturing a beautiful image still stirs my soul.
