About
Dyanne Wilson is an Ottawa based documentary and fine art photographer focusing on the relationship between nature and the built environment while exploring themes of memory, place and time.
Growing up in a military family, change was inevitable. She spent much of her childhood in Northern Canada around the 60th parallel. Canadian landscapes, remote communities, and winter are the foundations of her memories and appear often in her work. Generally preferring the found over the staged, Dyanne likes to explore the place in which she finds herself in an attempt to find stillness and meaning.
Dyanne held her first solo exhibition: Life in the Knife at the City of Ottawa’s Shenkman Arts Centre in late 2019. Since 2005, Dyanne has worked as an editorial photographer whose clients included: Hello! Canada magazine, National Art Centre, Diplomat and International Canada magazine and Ottawa Citizen Style magazine amongst other corporate clients. Prior to that she worked as a public servant for the Federal Government of Canada.
Dyanne is a graduate of the School of The Photographic Arts: Ottawa
An adventurer at heart with a passion for winter, Dyanne has earned her Gold Dances in Figure Skating, is a competent downhill skier and a licensed skydiver. When not working Dyanne can be found in a local forest walking and exploring with her two Golden Doodles: Marley and Hazel.
Her fine art prints are held in private collections around the world. A selection of her work is now a part of the permanent collection at Halifax’s new MUIR Hotel Autograph Collection. Dyanne is represented by Saatchi Art.
From 2014-2018 Dyanne served as a Fujifilm X-Photographer.
