About Ian Robert Knight

Travel has always been a part of my life. Exploring distant lands, meeting different people, and learning about their culture and traditions is what I consider to be one of the most important things a person can do. I’ve had the fortune of doing just that for the better part of 4 decades. I’ve been all over 6 continents, and close to 100 countries, and have no intention of stopping now.

My current base is Ottawa, Canada. Previously, I was living in Bangkok, Thailand for about 3 years, which allowed me to travel around Asia with relative ease. Before living in Thailand, I spent a couple of years living in Beijing and Hong Kong, both of which were wonderful places to experience. When people think about Ian Robert Knight photography portfolios, it’s these  experiences that come through visually.

My work is mostly travel-related photography, with a slant towards cultural explorations. I truly enjoy getting to know the people and cultures that I discover, and try to portray what I see in the photographs I make.

Although most of the images are created on location, I am equally adept at studio work, particularly in portraiture. I cut my photographic teeth on portraiture, by learning (and eventually teaching) lighting techniques in a studio environment. I earned Licentiates from both the British Institute of Professional Photography and the Master Photographers Association, from my portraiture work.
