Chris Gibbs
Chris developed a strong interest in technology, film, video, and photography from an early age. He has been actively involved in video operations and production for the last 30+ years and photography for the last decade.
In 2019, after spending over 25+ years in the television broadcast industry, Chris decided to leave the corporate world and pursue his passion for photography and videography. He established a media company in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, along with his wife, Jennifer, that specializes in videography, photography, aerial drone visuals, video/photo editing, and voice over content.
Chris established 'Footprints in Nature' as his signature creative brand, 'A Visual Gateway to the Natural World'. His collection of stunning scenic visuals, captivating wildlife videos, and exquisite photographic artwork reflect his love of nature. The name 'Footprints in Nature' represents Chris' profound respect for the environment and the importance of preserving it.
