Aaron Closs
Aaron Closs is a North Vancouver-based filmmaker and photographer specializing in adventure, wildlife, and documentary storytelling. His work explores the relationships people have with the environment, animals, and the wild spaces in which we all live. Placing human experience at the centre of natural landscapes.
Growing up in Northern Saskatchewan, Aaron spent his most formative years exploring the nooks and crannies of the boreal forest. Spending summers paddling the Churchill River, hiking through the Canadian Rockies, and shredding the slopes of Little Red. These experiences shaped a deep affinity for the outdoors, not only for the wilderness and wildlife but for the people who choose to explore and live within these environments.
Since then, Aaron has built a career as a commercial photographer and filmmaker, working across the adventure, tourism, and environmental sectors. His work has included collaborations with organizations such as Discovering Laos, Northwest Territories Tourism, Wuikinuxv First Nation, Surf Grove, and Yama Vans, as well as environmental non-profits including the Lake Winnipeg Foundation and Dogwood.
With a background in documentary filmmaking from Capilano University, Aaron approaches both commercial and documentary projects with a cinematic, story-driven mindset, focused on authenticity, place, and meaningful human connection. Whether working on long-form documentary or branded content, his goal remains the same: to create thoughtful visual stories that resonate beyond the screen.
