About Mountains and Rivers Media: The story of Mountains and Rivers Media is actually your story.
Photography and video created around your organization is what we are about.
Mountains and Rivers Media provides media services, consulting, and mentoring/coaching to mission-driven, conservation, place-making, and grant-making organizations, agencies, municipalities, and partnerships. We tailor each and every project to exactly what you want to achieve. It’s your story, we want to help you tell it better than you ever have before.
As you’ll quickly notice from the photos and videos on this site (as well as from our name), nature is an extremely important part of almost everything we do. Mountains and Rivers Media uses the presence of nature to foster a sense of awe for the remaining wild places in the eastern United States. We excite, invigorate, connect with, and reinforce the human imagination through impactful visual storytelling inspired by the vision and goals of our clients.
We achieve this through our original works that focus on:
- Healthy and sustainable life supporting environmental stewardship
- A culture of deep nature connection
- Increasing vitality and quality of life for us and our planet
Photographer John Canan founded the business in August 2015. The founding principle was on the notion that as humans, we can do better a job of being human - cohabitants of the Earth and photography and video are the precise tools to lead change. The company has grown over the years out of this primal concept.
We are a specialized media company, providing comprehensive services to our mission-driven clients.
