David Coulson is a photographer, visual storyteller and drone operator based in Toronto, Canada. Using images, video and words, his work focuses on sharing stories that connect people to nature and that help translate complex science and conservation issues in an emotional and relatable way. David strives to not only produce compelling imagery with a creative flare, but to also use his camera to challenge perceptions and explore the relationships between people and planet.

Along with a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Environmental Studies and Philosophy from Queen’s University, he holds a post graduate in Environmental Visual Communication from Fleming College and the Royal Ontario Museum, and a UAV Pilot Ground School certificate from Humber College.
