Commission Photo + Film Storytelling

CREATIVITY

EXPERTISE

You have a story that matters, but it may be remote, emotional, sensitive, hard to access, or difficult to translate visually.

That’s where I come in.

With a background in environmental science, documentary storytelling, and remote field production, I create visual work that helps people communicate place, purpose, beauty, and complexity with clarity and feeling.

For brands, NGOs, publications, tourism boards, educators, researchers, conservation organizations, and community-led initiatives.

I create still and motion work for stories that call for emotional depth, field readiness, scientific understanding, respectful collaboration, and a cohesive visual language across platforms.

  • "I have worked closely with Agathe on promotional, educational and advocacy projects directed at marine conservation. Her images have helped shape our movement and accelerated our growth and success resulting in hundreds of thousands of tonnes of marine debris and sunken vessels removed from the marine environment along British Columbia's (BC's) Pacific Coast. Our success is directly link to Agathe's artistic and professional ability to capture powerful moments of emotion, wildlife, landscape and action. Her images have touched the hearts of many business and funding bodies resulting in meaningful donations towards our charitable cause which has positively impacted the entire coast of BC. Agathe Bernard is without question a leading professional of conversation photography."

    -Renny Talbot, Rugged Coast Founder

  • "Agathe has been an invaluable advocate for conservation and environmental awareness in Revelstoke for several years and worked closely with Wildsight for five years to achieve our goals. The cultural and environmental significance of her images encourages our community to witness their lives through an ecological lens. She knows the land and its people, and this speaks through the images she captures. Those images inspire others locally and abroad to our cause. I can personally attest to the quality of Agathe Bernard’s work, and her professionalism. It is a pleasure to work with her."

    -Sarah Newton, NCES/Wildsight Director

  • “I believe that the title Revolutionary Storyteller perfectly describes Agathe’s role in the world. She has such a strong passion for the natural world, which springs from a scientific background, matched with an enormous talent as a photographer and videographer. I have worked closely with Agathe, particularly on a film project about the Columbia River, and the people and landscapes who were negatively impacted by the creation of the Hugh Keenleyside Dam in the 1960s. The film, Washed Away is a love story to the Columbia, and showcases Agathe’s tremendous skill as a videographer, and her commitment to the landscape. A previous film by Agathe, Carving Landscapes explores the extraordinary story of Mary Vaux, a pioneer in the field of glaciology. Again, Agathe melded her creative skills with her scientific knowledge to create an artistic work that honours the landscape. Agathe inspires me with her courage in taking on the challenges of speaking out for the voiceless, and for the world.”

Process

How We Can Work Together

Step 1 — Connect

We start with your story, project, location, goals, and what you need the work to do.

Step 2 — Shape the Approach

Together, we determine the right format, visual direction, timeline, and level of production support.

Step 3 — Create in the Field

I work with agility, care, and calm in dynamic environments — from ocean crossings and mountain weather to intimate ceremonies and sensitive field contexts.

Step 4 — Deliver With Purpose

You receive polished, professional imagery or film assets ready for publication, campaign use, personal keepsakes, screening, or licensing.

If your story asks for care, movement, beauty, and depth, I’d love to hear from you.
