Yuri Choufour is a Canadian nature and expedition photographer, who’s been fascinated with the natural world since early childhood. After obtaining a diploma in professional photography, and an award for photojournalism, he completed an internship with the Calgary Herald.
In 2010 he sought out assisting opportunities with Art Wolfe Inc. and found world travel and teaching photography to be some of his true callings. Choufour is motivated to continually visit the far corners of the world, and through his work, share the diverse natural beauty of what we stand to lose. His photos are sold to tourism companies as fine art prints and cards/calendars. Choufour travels for a large part of the year, working as an expedition photographer in the polar regions, and hosting photography tours and workshops across North America.
