About Phographer Colin Ferguson

Born a short distance from the internationally famous Rennie Macintosh-designed Glasgow School of Art, Colin Ferguson grew up in one of Europe’s most vibrant artistic communities. On arrival in Canada he studied photography at the Northern Alberta Institute of technology, becoming a commercial photographer, and later acquired a degree in Art and Design from the University of Alberta.

In 1990 Colin moved to the Bow Valley to accept a position teaching Photographic Arts at the Alberta College of Art & Design, establishing Mountain Light Studio in Canmore to serve the Banff, Lake Louise and Kananaskis Country areas a year later. Since 1998 he has devoted all of his time to the running of the studio.

Colin is accredited in Environmental Wedding Photography by a national panel of judges of the Professional Photographers of Canada, Canada’s premier professional photography association, of which he is an active member. He is also a member of the Alberta Professional Photographers Association. Colin’s fine art photography is held in private collections in Canada and the UK and is in the collection of the Province of Alberta.

Colin brings to his wedding work a keen awareness of the emotions of the occasion, as well as his love for the mountain landscape in this special place. To his portraiture and commercial work, he brings a seasoned visual aesthetic, and he never leaves home without his sense of humour.
