My photographic and volunteer work is dedicated to the protection of natural environments. A biologist by training, I have presented numerous lectures spanning natural history and photography. The audiences include members of nature and photography clubs in Ontario, Nova Scotia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, as well as local chapters of the Sierra Club, and National Audubon Society in the USA. I am an energetic and knowledgeable speaker, and have frequently been invited to give presentations at various conferences and meetings. Presented with carefully selected photographs, personal insight, and captivating story line, your guests will be quickly immersed in a fascinating virtual journey.
“Thank you so much once again for coming to present on the grasslands. It was both eye-opening as well as visually breathtaking. I believe you inspired my next Saskatchewan adventure.”Adrianna, Saskatoon
Upcoming public presentations:
- Thursday, December 1, 2022 – presentation for the Beach Photo Club – ‘On Conservation Photography’. In this presentation, beautifully illustrated with his landscape and wildlife images, Branimir will share his experiences working with environmental non-government organizations (NGOs) and how photographers can contribute their skills to foster a positive change.

Branimir frequently contributes his photographic skills to local NGOs with the aim to promote the appreciation and protection of natural environments and cultural legacies.
