He has won several trophies including the Gordon McGowan Trophy for Sight and Sound Essay and has had his work displayed at several galleries including the DesBrisay Museum in Bridgewater and the Train Station Gallery in Chester.
  

• Damian Lidgard is a zoologist and wildlife photographer. His interest in photography began in the early 1990s, having grown out of his passion for wildlife. Using on the skills he acquired through the study of contemplative photography, Damian captures the essence of what he sees in nature. Since 1997, Damian has been visiting Sable Island each year as a scientist. However, it is through his photography that Damian has developed a familiarity with this remarkable place, capturing rare moments when the wild spirit of the island can be appreciated through its landscapes and wildlife. Damian’s photography has won awards, been featured in several publications, and been on exhibit in a number of art galleries.
