The photos you see on this website were captured by AFA Photographer, Campaign Director, and Co-Founder, TJ Watt. TJ has been photographing both the beauty and destruction of old-growth forests in BC for close to two decades and his images play a vital role in bringing these remote to life for people across the globe. See the Giant Tree Hunters film for a behind-the-scenes look into his and AFA’s work as well as an in-depth article, Ancient Tree Hunter, in Patagonia magazine.
TJ shoots with a variety of camera gear including the Canon R5 MKII camera, along with the Canon 15mm fisheye, RF 14-35mm f4 IS, 35mm 1.4 II, 24-105 f4 IS, 70-200 f4L IS, RF 100-500mm lenses, and a Gitzo tripod. He also uses the DJI Mavic 3 Pro drone for some aerial shots as well.
