About me

Focusing on Passion & Creativity...

Jonathan Ferguson founded Von der Rusch Photography in 2008. Based in Calgary, Canada, he is the go-to photographer for numerous companies looking to stand out with stunning visual storytelling.

Fun, outgoing and professional, Jonathan elevates businesses through both still and aerial photography. Corporate events, real estate development, golf course, travel, food and lifestyle photography only begin to scratch the surface of his portfolio. As a result, Jonathan and many of his clients continue to enjoy decade-long+ collaborations. 

Jonathan's love for photography began during childhood where from a young age he would carry a camera wherever he went capturing street photography. As a teenager, he began developing his own images, finding his vision. Travelling was the true igniter for his passion, having now traveled in over 80 countries.

Jonathan’s images have been showcased on billboards, magazines and exhibited in galleries around the world.

Von der Rusch - Where does the name come from?

In 2008, while in Lithuania with my parents, searching for my Grandfather’s old mill and property, my Mother told me a story about her family history, where everything was left behind for freedom in Canada during the war. The story went back further to her ancestors from Alsace-Lorraine who had the surname Von der Rusch. I really connected with this and what it represented. I loved the name, not only because of the attachment to family, but it also reminded me of the adrenaline rush I feel whenever I pick up my camera and discover a new adventure through my lens. I returned home to Canada and Von der Rusch Photography was born.

Thanks for visiting and sharing my passion!
