Paul von Baich was a Canadian portrait and wildlife photographer who traveled throughout Canada documenting the life of Canadians and Northern Native people from coast to coast, including landscape and wildlife. [1]

Of Serbian and Austrian parents, von Baich was born in Graz, Austria, in 1934 and moved to Canada with his widowed mother in the early 1950s. As a freelance photographer he worked on photo-shoots of well-known film and television celebrities for the Public Relations department of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and the National Film Board of Canada in Montreal during the 1960s and the 1970s. [2] He also traveled to the Arctic on photo assignments for the Canadian Museum of Civilization's "Nuvisavik: The Place Where We Weave"; [3] Indian and Northern Affairs Canada for "The Story of Canada"; [3] Reader's Digest Association (Canada)'s "Handpicked Tours of North America" [4] and Canadian National Library of Canada.

He published several books with other photographers and journalists, namely "Natural History" with Bob Skovbo (1972); [5] "British Columbia: Photographs by Paul von Baich" (1979); [6] "Quebec and The St. Lawrence" with John de Visser; [7] "The Old Kingston Road" (Oxford University Press, 1981); [8] "Light in the Wilderness"; [9] "Arctic Landscapes and Traditions" by David F. Pelly; [10] "Canada: A Landscape Portrait" by J. A. Kraulis (1982); [11] "Canada" by Ernest Boyce Inglis (1990); [12] "Salt and Braided Bread: Ukrainian Life in Canada" by Jars Balan (1984). [13]

He last lived with his wife in British Columbia.
