About me 

My name is Mark Mills. I grew up beside a creek and a swampy woodlot (lucky kid!) in rural Ontario, where I spent countless happy hours and became a nature lover. After studying in biology, I migrated to Quebec on a quest for a second language. Working at first as a nature interpreter, I found photography was an asset and I took pictures to illustrate my nature talks and those of my colleagues. Throughout my career in environmental protection and education, I continued to spend my free time wandering the woods, fields and bogs with my camera bag and my tripod, looking for promising subjects for a striking image, my specialty being wildflowers. Now that I’m retired, I’m turning my hobby into something that, I hope, will also serve to benefit wild things.

The mission of Nature Imagée is to capture and disseminate nature’s beauty and win people over to the natural environment. My objective is to show off nature’s charm and encourage people to go out and discover it.
