Born in Montreal, Canada, Frederic Hore is a passionate and award-winning freelance photojournalist, adventure photographer, writer, teacher, and lecturer. Deeply immersed in the arts, science, culture, current affairs, and the environment, he pursues editorial, commercial, and travel assignments worldwide. His vast archive of over 100,000 images spans more than four decades of diverse work.
A National Press Photographers Association member since 2014, he worked as a freelance photojournalist for the Montreal Gazette and Postmedia Network from 2008 to 2015. His photographs and stories have been widely published in the New York Daily News, the National Post, Montreal Gazette, Ottawa Citizen, Edmonton Journal, Vancouver Sun, Canadian Geographic, CNN, CTV News, CITY-TV, Bishop’s University Alumni Magazine, plus numerous other periodicals and websites.
An avid voyageur, Frederic has travelled to more than 52 countries on all seven continents, including seven expeditions to Antarctica — six of them working as a photo coach, guide, and Zodiac driver. He appeared twice on CITY-TV's Breakfast Television show in Montreal, discussing Antarctica's environment and wildlife.
Motivated by his interest in the Earthwatch Institute’s environmental research, he volunteered on four scientific and archaeological projects. This included water ecology research with the Russian Academy of Sciences at Lake Baikal in Siberia; tracking wildlife in Mongolia's Gobi Desert; studying volcanic activity in Iceland; and assisting with and documenting an archaeological dig of the Wari Empire in Cuzco, Peru.
Frederic's epic odysseys form the foundation for some 30 dynamic multimedia productions, enriched with engaging music and captivating travel lore, that reveal the people, culture, daily life, history, and wildlife he encounters on his journeys. Since 2001, he has presented more than 225 enthralling travelogues to audiences at libraries and conferences across Canada, onboard expedition ships, and online via the Zoom app, to popular acclaim.
A Communication Arts graduate from Dawson College in Montreal, his career began as a photographer-reporter for the Powell River News in Powell River, British Columbia. Frederic has travelled and worked across Canada and internationally as an implementation specialist on projects for RCA Limited, Spar Aerospace, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and Dome Productions in Toronto.
Frederic offers stimulating and well-organized photography workshops and field trips for all skill levels throughout the year. A past member of the Lakeshore Camera Club in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, he held executive positions as their Architecture Chair, Nature Chair, and the club's popular photo Field Trip Leader from 2002 to 2019.
An outdoor adventurer, he is an active hiker, canoeist, cyclist, cross-country skier and certified scuba diver. Positive and forward-looking, his motto for life is, Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
