Capturing the natural beauty of Northwestern Ontario through photography is something that Bill Morgenstern strives to do. Be it a spring fiddlehead frond, a jeweled spider web or a fall lakeshore ablaze with color, these are some of the subjects that stir Bill’s blood and creative eye. The play of light, subtlety of color and the intrigue of texture are elements to look for in his images.
Bill has been photographing across Northwestern Ontario and northern Minnesota for over 20 years. Retiring early from a career in education, he is now a full time nature photographer and outdoor writer living in Fort Frances, Ontario.
Local brochures, various calendars, school textbooks, and a few familiar magazines feature some of Bill’s sensitive images of the area. Look for his images in the Minnesota WeatherGuide Calendars, Teldon Calendars, Bear Country, Cottage Life, ON Nature, and Nature Photographer magazines. Corporate clients include Canadian National Railway, Bell Canada, Canada Border Services Agency, and Honeywell Specialty Materials.
The love of exploring new places leads this photographer to out-of-the-way places in both Canada and the US to gather stock images for his photo files. Photo travel to Norway and Sweden are also favorite destinations. Bill is constantly searching for that moment in time, recorded on film, for all to enjoy.
