Biography
Brittany Crossman is a wildlife & nature photographer based out of New Brunswick, Canada. Her passion for the natural world has been present since childhood. When she was 8 years old she began photographing animals around home with disposable cameras. This passion remained consistent throughout her life, leading her to major in photography at Mount Allison University. With the passion to instill a love for learning, she furthered her education completing a Bachelor of Education.
Over the last decade, she has photographed many different species, but the red fox holds a special place in her heart. She believes that visual storytelling is an essential component to promoting coexistence with urban wildlife, and eliminating some of that misdirected fear with living alongside with wild animals. Brittany is also a firm believer in ethical wildlife photography, meaning keeping their best interest in mind while out photographing. Brittany’s work aims to foster a connection to nature by capturing intimate moments, bringing viewers closer to the lives of these animals.
Her work has been published by multiple magazines, such as Nature's Best Photography, Canadian Geographic, Canadian Wildlife Magazine, Saltscapes, Outdoor Photographer, National Wildlife, and many more. Brittany is also a photo contributor for National Geographic Your Shot's social media channel. Recently, in 2023 Brittany was name top 5 and highly commended in the prestigious Natural History Museum Wildlife Photographer of the Year People's Choice award.
Brittany is an avid supporter of wildlife rehabilitation facilities regularly offering her photographic skills for photo documentary projects, and donating her work for fundraising auctions. Some of the places she supports are Hope For Wildlife, Atlantic Wildlife Institute and The Canid Project.
