Todd Mintz

Todd is an accomplished Explorer and international award-winning underwater photographer from Canada that has dove under the Arctic ice and icebergs and, nearly been run over by a Bowhead whales and Grizzly bears.

He has been awarded Best of Show in the internationally prestigious Nature's Best-Smithsonian-Oceans Views competition. His images have been part of two exhibits in the Smithsonian Natural History Museum in Washington DC. In addition they have been featured on the exhibit hall banners and promotions throughout the Smithsonian.

Other award highlights include being selected part of the International Conservation Photograph Awards exhibit in conjunction with the Burke Museum in Seattle and, part of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Canadian Museum of History, Canadian Nature Museum, and Saskatchewan Science Center collection. Todd has also completed two solo exhibits of his work at the Saskatchewan Science Center and Kramer IMAX Theatre in 2015 and 2017 with over 45 pieces on exhibit. (His exhibit was extended due to popular demand.) His work continues to be published in numerous media throughout the world including Canadian Geographic and the Magic School Bus series.

As a result of his extensive Arctic travel Todd was accepted as a member of the prestigious Explorers Club whose individuals have contributed in broad terms to the cause of exploration and who evidence a sustained interest in some field of scientific exploration and the furtherance of scientific knowledge of the world. In 2018 Todd was inducted into the College of Fellows of the Royal Canadian Geographic Society. He is also a member of Ocean Artists Society which focuses on using ocean art to inspire people around the world to a greater awareness of our need to protect and preserve our natural environment.

Recently Todd completed 2000 kms by snowmobile pulling a komotik in the Canadian Arctic. Stuck in whiteout and arctic blizzard conditions he successfully travelled from Iqaluit on southern Baffin Island to Pond Inlet on Baffin Islands northern tip, a expedition feat that few have accomplished.
