Renée Erdman

Born and raised on Vancouver Island, Renée is deeply rooted in the varied terrain of British Columbia, using photography and social media as a strategic tool for environmental stewardship. Through her platform, CapturingInTheWild.com, she advocates for a "Wild Strategy" that bridges the gap between digital narrative and ecological reality. Her practice is built on the belief that images should be honest witnesses to the land. This leads her to focus on the frontlines of habitat loss and the fight to save BCs remaining old-growth timber, while also capturing the quiet, intricate details of nature that often go overlooked.

For Renée, ethical photography is a non-negotiable standard. It applies to how she treats individual animals in the field and how she defends the landscapes they call home. She is a firm believer in "boots on the ground" advocacy, turning her visual observations into a call for tangible conservation results and lasting change.
