Dawson Friesen is a freelance photographer and film producer based out of Chilliwack British Columbia. Specializing in outdoor and commercial branded content, Dawson has spent the past 8+ years building his experience and skill set over a wide range of projects and clients, both locally and abroad.

Having worked with a wide range of clients in the outdoor and commercial space such as Scout Campers, River City Marine, VSSL Gear, Himalayan Life, King Fisher Heli Ski, Tourism Chilliwack, Emil Anderson Group, Whispering Horse Winery, and Jetwing Hotels, for Dawson, the camera has ultimately always been a tool for creating and showcasing human connection. It’s this well-diversified portfolio of experiences, places, people and businesses that come together to create a truly unique perspective in a saturated and noisy media industry.

As Yvon Chouinard once said “A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between their work and their play; their labor and their leisure; their mind and their body; their education and their recreation. They hardly know which is which. They simply pursue their vision of excellence through whatever they are doing and leave others to determine whether they are working or playing. To them, they always appear to be doing both”
